Is it safe to spay my 3-year-old rabbit to avoid health risks?

Question

Should I spay my rabbit? She is three years old and I am worried that there will be health risks if I do it now. I would’ve loved to spay her when she was younger, but we could not afford it, and she was belonging to my older brother at this time. it wasn’t really my choice if she got spayed or not. She is my only rabbit and I would love to get her a friend, but she needs to be spayed to do so. also the main reason I want her spayed is to prevert cancers in an older age.

The fact that Alice is an adult rabbit now does not increase the risks when you have her spayed, It is a good idea to have her spayed due to the uterine cancer risk and also avoiding spraying, which females sometimes do. So you can have her spayed now, preferably at a veterinary office that treats a lot of bunnies.
