Reducing the smell of urine?

Is there a way to reduce the odor of my rabbit's urine? he is almost 4 months old. I heard somewhere that a certain type of fruits can reduce the smell of urine. Maybe it was apples? There was also a treat at the petstore that reduces the smell of urine.
 
I don't kow about foodstuffs being effective, but I know that neutered buck's urine isn't so pungent.
 
I haven't ever heard of being able to reduce the smell of the actual urine but a product you can use for cleaning up where there has been urine is Simple Solution.
 
Not sure about the eating but I use cardboard squares in the litter tray and surprisingly this reduced the smell more than cat litter.
 
not sure about using foods to change the smell but neutered buns have less smelly wee and also if you use a highly absorbant material such as carefresh/megazorb that will help control oders. regular cleaning helps too :)
 
I now use megazorb which definitely reduced the smell and it is cleaned out twice a day if they are confined during the day. Once a day if we are in and they are out free range.
 
I have a book on different uses of vinegar and one of the tips is too rinse the tray or hutch with white distilled vinegar. Leave it dry and hey presto! I use it on Charlie's litter tray and it really works.
