Here's why you can't tell visually:
* No visible markings: Unlike some other pets, there are no external signs on a rabbit that indicate they've been spayed or neutered.
* Similar behaviors: Even after surgery, rabbits may still exhibit behaviors associated with their sex, such as mounting or marking territory.
If you are unsure about your rabbit's spay/neuter status, it is important to contact your veterinarian to get a definitive answer. This is especially crucial because:
* Health risks: Unspayed female rabbits are at high risk for uterine cancer.
* Behavioral issues: Intact males can become aggressive or spray urine to mark their territory.
* Preventing unwanted pregnancy: Unneutered males can still impregnate females.
If you have any doubts about your rabbit's health or well-being, consult your veterinarian. They can provide the best advice and care for your furry friend.
