How long is a ram (male rabbit) still fertile after castration?

Best,

I have been a fan of pet rabbits for many years. I am a moderator on a forum where we try every day to better inform people about everything that has to do with rabbits as pets.

Now there is great ignorance about the fertility of a ram after castration. I have already searched many places and inquired at various veterinarians, but cannot find a scientific study in which this has been tested.

The differences are very big… some vets say it takes up to 6 weeks, others speak of barely a few days.

There may not be a study specific to rabbits. In that case, can you provide figures with which we can compare?

Answer

The University of Tennessee verified this: the period is 3 days. You can prolong them by administering male sex hormones.
