Benefits:
Aside from eliminating her ability to reproduce, studies show that spaying your female rat will greatly reduce her risk of developing certain types of tumors, will eliminate the risk of uterine cancer, and may increase her life span.

Risks:
Spaying is a major surgical procedure that requires entering the body cavity, and general anesthesia can be considered a risk in itself.

Cost:
Cost of spaying a female rat can run from $50.00 to $120.00, depending on your vet. We strongly recommend that you seek out an experienced vet for this procedure.

Views:
Many rat owners do not consider the benefits of spaying to be worth the risk to their pets, and the expense can be prohibitive. The tumors that are typically reduced by spaying are normally benign and can be easily removed. This tends to be a less risky surgery than spaying if the tumor is removed when it is small.

We recommend that owners of females be aware of the different types of tumors that their pets may develop and examine their pets regularly."
