Hi Emily,
First, thanks for getting your little girl spayed, AND for giving her lots of out of cage time! You sound like a great bunny mom:)
Our little girls will take a little longer to heal than our boys, so they shouldn’t move around too much for the first couple of weeks, but if they’re calm, and don’t move around a whole lot anyway, then we can work with it. I would be sure to give her at least three days in her cage to start, which you’ve already done. Then, unless there is something special concerning her surgery (ask your vet), I would feel safe with your plan to let her have short supervised petting time out of the cage without too much hopping around after that three days. Let her stay on a flat surface (couch or floor) rather than holding her…it’s tough, I know! If she’s a binkie bunny, or gets feisty and moves around too much, then stick with the vets orders and keep her caged. If she gets crazy in her cage when she sees you, and starts running circles, then just use your best judgment and let her out if you think she’ll move around less unconfined.

I’m wondering how long I need to keep my little girl bunny confined to her cage after her surgery. She had the spay on Thursday (it’s now the following Monday) and stayed over night so we didn’t get her home until Friday morning. The vet tech told us she needed to stay in her house for 2 weeks with no out of cage time so that she doesn’t jump on things and hurt herself…but my Valhalla is used to spending loads of time out with us…and I’m afraid she’ll get depressed if she has to stay in her house so long! I’m wondering if this is standard advice, or if she could maybe come out for hops if we watch her closely and sit on the floor so she isn’t tempted to hop onto the couch to be with us? Thanks for any advice.

I am just looking in to spaying and nutering my bunnies. One of them started trying to mate with me today.(my arm/leg…) If I spay/nuter him will this behavoir stop? He is just over one year old. If so, where are some places near Thornhill onatario where i can take him? email is best way to contact me.

Do you have a list of qualified vets in the area?
