I think it is a great opportunity to ensure the owners knows the reasons why we recommend neutering and the importance of bonded companions etc, even if they discuss those risks with other people (hopefully more rabbits being neutered and getting companions). I will also use the discussion to acknowledge the fact they are proactive in neutering, I find it curries favour if they are congratulated in taking those steps themselves.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
