I stand corrected. All of my pets are neutered. My experience with pet rabbits is very limited and it shows. I raised mine for meat although I did have one pet rabbit. He was a New Zealand buck and I had no issues with him. I never had him in the house either. I did handle him quite a bit...
Thank you for the information. I learned something. I never noticed that behavior but maybe I just wasn't paying attention. However, it has been some years since I have had rabbits and I could have forgotten. I don't recall my pet New Zealand buck ever being unpleasant to handle but that may...
I have no idea. The head of the needle doesn't give any information. I just started hauling out knitting needles until I found one that is close. Let's just say the opening in the band is small and not all that easy to see through if you hold it up. You have to stretch it a little to get it...

No. Unless you are raising angora rabbits for wool and want to pen several males together I personally don't understand why you would want to castrate a rabbit anyway.
Just curious. What size bull calves are you talking about? The one I used was for lambs, kids, and calves up to a few weeks of age. I can't imagine that it could not be used on a rabbit but it wouldn't have occurred to me to try.
That $400 quote to castrate a rabbit is outrageous. If I were you, and this advice is worth every penny you are paying for it, is to put the rabbit on antibiotics, clean up the wound and remove all dead tissue if it seems infected. If there is no smell and the rabbit looks and acts OK it is...
