Can rabbits be 'fixed' like dogs and cats are?
I mean like spaying and neutering them.
I was watching a TV show yesterday which has a Vet segment on it and he told the kid who owned the rabbits (1 boy, 1 girl) that if he didn't want them to have babies then he would have to seperate them.
So I was wondering are cats and dogs the only animals which can be spayed/neutered? And is the only possible way to stop other animals from reproducing to seperate them

Rabbits can very much be spayed and neutered, and the surgery itself it not very different from that of a cat. The biggest difference is that rabbits are very sensitive to certain medicines, so it is important to find a vet that is experienced with anesthetizing rabbits when selecting one to spay or neuter.
In addition to allowing the rabbit to not reproduce, there are health and behaviour benefits to spaying and neutering rabbits. It eliminates the chance of hormone related cancers (ie. testicular, ovarian) and helps reduce aggression, marking, and hormone related behavioural issues.
Guinea pigs can also be "fixed", for many of the same reasons. There are health issues associated with unneutered males especially.
