Does spaying make handling rabbits easier?
(I hate this cage but I swear I'm ordering her play pen today!!)
I have a 5 month old rabbit that i got from a very severely neglectful owner. She's very sweet and loves to be pet but will scratch for her life if i try to pick her up. Of course I respect her boundaries and won't pick her up if I don't need to but I would eventually like to be able to hold her like I did my last rabbit.
She isn't spayed and I'm actually not entirely sure she's female. I do plan on getting her spayed regardless.
Will doing so make her more comfortable being handled? If not, what are some things I can try? I've only had her for a week.
