A male rabbit becomes infertile within 1-2 weeks after neutering. This timeframe can vary slightly depending on the individual rabbit and the specific surgical procedure.
However, it's important to note that:
* Sperm can still be present in the reproductive tract for a short time after surgery. Therefore, it's crucial to keep the rabbit separated from female rabbits for at least 1-2 weeks after neutering to ensure complete sterility.
* Neutering does not immediately eliminate all hormones. It can take several weeks for hormone levels to fully stabilize and behavioral changes to become apparent.
If you are considering neutering your rabbit, it's best to consult with a veterinarian. They can provide personalized advice and guidance on the specific procedure and post-operative care for your rabbit.
