Is neutering a must for my single rabbit if vets aren't experienced?

Question

If a rabbit is unnueter,will it affect it's lifespan if there's no other health problems?If possible I want to avoid that surgery because the place I'm from don't really have any experienced rabbits savvy.Julius is the only rabbit I have, so is it still a must to get it neutered?

There have been studies that have proven an extended life span in dogs and cats that are neutered but I do not think there have been any such studies in rabbits. However, we do know that neutering can prevent certain cancers like in the prostate and testicles. That being said, I think it is more important that Julius is safe and if you do not feel like there is someone that can safely neuter him, I would probably avoid it. I hope this helps.
