Ohh he is in manhood!! Aww.
Dont recall scaraggles stinking when he reached it lol.
His tezzies are only just visible to eye, vets want them to drop more before op! Simba ares a little bigger so maybe week after next they can be done together
I didnt realise them reaching man hood meant the urine smell was this strong :shock:
So, would it be like rats? the more you clean the more they scent mark aswell?
What can I use as litter base also> at moment I line with newspaper and then hay on top. Is litter changing everyday right?

from what i can gather they arint really truely littler trained until after a neuter anyway, all the buns ive had havent been toooo bad with the weeing just the poo are all over the place, apart from doc at the mo all my other buns have pretty much transformed very quickly, i have mainly males and as they like to spread there seed far and wide they will mark anything for a potential mate who happens to go by, i am assuming its pretty much inbred to them, and still do it even if its just one bun on his own, well biggles did it with me for 5 years till i got him done,
I use Megazorb in both my buns litter trays and I know lots of other people on this forum do too. With some hay or straw on the top I clean mine out every morning. You can buy big sacks of Megazorb at horse shops as it is meant to be horses bedding, mine costs £6.10 and lasts for ages. There is no smell to it and its very absorbent. I think it's great for rabbits litter trays. I did a search on on the internet when I first decided to get some and read all about it first and also read posts on this forum about it.
Hope this helps! :wave:

unneutered buck..mmmm lovely!:lol: but that weird b.o smell..is it more like onions? thats when they secrete their scent marking gland stuff on their poos and along with their wee..its overpowering!
but if bunny isnt neutered or spayed its much worse..almost a poo like smell id say...well with a hormonal frenchie doe it did! bandit stunk too when he got her and had horrific runs which was caused by his man bits being huge not just outside but inside too:shock: once done he has always been able to eat his cecals and clean himself...his poos are pretty big for a lionhead.....
ive found bio catolet helps as a litter as its paper and super absorbent and i can get it from tescos when i shop online topped with a little russell rabbit bedding..very very fine short straw.........both available from hay experts
i dont like megazorb with bunnies...neither does my asthma! i think the stuff stinks orrible and sticks to the bunnies and everything else!
testicles schemtiscles...they can look very tiny outside and be huge inside their tums...dont let him fool you:lol:

Yeh it like a strong onion smell! lol.
So his tezzie could be fully developed, being bigger on inside? Why are they on the inside anyway?
Wont be long now until the boys are nuetered. Cant wait and once recovered can start bonding. Hopefuly they will bond, figers crossed anyway.
Yeh megazorb does drive me mad, it sticks to everything and a nuiscance to clean up.

like most mammals.......including males of our species...have testes that kinda pull back up into the body....when cold or scared...leasst thats one excuse:lol:
so sometimes little boy buns their bits look really small or even not apparent but its cos theyve pulled back up. othertimes they look massive......
bandit was a bit of both to say the least:shock::lol:
mm onion smell is territorial pong!!
