Hi,

I am a LONG TIME rabbit lover and know exacly what your asking.

Right now, you have bonded so much with your rabbit that your rabbit looks at you like a mum. THIS IS GREAT! even when it hits sexual maturity, it will still look at you as a mum. De-sexing a rabbit makes no perminant change to its personality.

So,

long story short- your fine! Keep interacting with your rabbit and thats great!How much will my rabbits personality change?
I am a breeder and rabbits definately have their own personalities and attitudes. Sexual maturity can happen between 4-7 months.



One example of a behavior change:

I have 2 does that are bred. One was skittish and aggressive before I bred her- she is really lovey and calm now, she also hasn't given birth yet. The other one, was interested and lovey before she was bred, but now she's not into people or being touched- not aggressive though.



Their hormones changed them (from the pregnancy). Now, when they are spayed or neutered- it stops these driving hormone surges. And keeps them sexually healthy. Rabbits are meant to breed by nature- part of survival of the fittest and natural selection. SO being fixed prevents a lot of problems to them. If your bun is sweet now and loves you- she should stay this way, just expect when sexual maturity hits she may act more twitchy and pacey, dig more, grunt or stomp if she doesnt get her way, etc. You will notice its not the same bun, but she should still be ok with you. Look to these sites to tell you more.



Good luck!

Depends on the sex. Boys are usually nicer. Girls can be more aggressive but it won't change much as it gets older if it's nice now. Girls are also bigger.
Boy or girl?



My does are always bitter sweet at that age...



I'm not allowed to keep bucks because my mom's old roomie had a buack at that age who was evil.
