My rabbit is breeding. How do I safely stop them from having babies?

Instead of giving birth control which can cause uterine problems and possibly even cancer in the doe, it would be much better to have the male rabbit castrated. Male rabbits also tend to get aggressive and pee at people, and castration can make this behavior stop. You can also have your doe spayed. Either way you will not have any unwanted pregnancies this way.

So male rabbits cannot be spayed, they can be castrated. Are you 100% that they are all done, and that you dont have a female who is actually a male? One of these must be the case. You could ask the vet to spay her whilst pregnant, it is more risky though. You could just wait until the rabbits are born and have them euthanized.

While it is possible that Binky is pregnant, it is unlikely if she was not receptive to the male. However, she may be receptive soon, so I do recommend separating them to avoid unwanted pregnancy. You can neuter (castrate) the male at any time as well as the female. I hope this helps!

Thanks for reaching out about Bun Bun. This question has been addressed once before but there recommendation is to have Bun Bun spayed, and Fluffy neutered also (if not). Intact female spays have an increased incidence of uterine cancer but also tend to fight more. Talk to a veterinarian in your locale. Good luck.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Neutering your male bunny is definitely a good idea, as it will help him not spray urine or be aggressive, and will prevent unwanted pregnancy should you decide to get a female rabbit in the future.

Mounting behavior is not unusual but I would recommend to have both rabbits checked out to be sure they are both males! You definitely don't want a bunch of baby rabbits! Male rabbits can sometimes become aggressive so neutering them is a good option to decrease aggression. You can discuss the surgery with the doctor during the visit to see if this is a good option for you.

Hi Kian! You have some great questions. Even when keeping just one rabbit, I don't recommend leaving a buck unneutered. When male rabbits become sexually mature, they can act aggressively. The hormones can trigger territorial and dominance aggression. The most common signs of sexual maturity in a male include circling you, mounting you, or trying to bite you. Unneutered males can also frequently spray urine. I do urge you to have Fluffy neutered before four months of age. I hope this helps!
