STUDY ONE — this study gathered 28 male rabbits and divided them into four groups: a normal diet group, a high cholesterol diet group, a cholesterol plus dandelion leaf group, and a cholesterol plus dandelion root group.
Un-neutered male rabbits are more likely to be territorial and will want to mark spots, they may also spray urine which can get very messy and leave a lot of odour.
A large percentage of all male rabbits get prostate cancer, r and 60-80 % of all females developes ovarian, uterine or other reproductive cancers unless they are spayed.
In the absence of testosterone, the embryo becomes female, and when male rabbit fetuses were deprived of testosterone — like Berthold's castrated roosters — they became feminized.
Neutering a male rabbit reduces the risk of cancer, enlarged and painful prostate, infection of the prostate gland and other health problems, as well as marking territory.
Note that male rabbits can still have living sperm (that can last for two weeks) in the portion of the spermatic cord (vas deferens), which is still in place after surgery.
