This following on from something said on another thread about a rabbit smelling unneutered but I didnt want to hijack the thread so thought Id make a new one.
I wasnt aware that male unneutered rabbits had a different smell, can someone describe it? Is it their wee or poo or just them?
The reason I ask is that Barney REEKS. If I know people are coming over I do the litter trays an hour or so before and then open the windows. His actual body smells okay although his back end (yes I smelt my rabbits bum :lol:) smells a bit but not noticably unless you smell him.
Its his wee and poo, mainly wee. I can clean out his litter trays at 12 (night) and by morning my room stinks of wee. Then again some days its much better.
If he does piles of poo, sometimes outside the trays, sometimes its super stinky then too! I have a feeling these might be caceotrophs (sp?) though as they can be covered in mucus and are only stinky when theyre fresh.
I use megazorb so its pretty good at soaking up.
I thought it was just part of keeping a rabbit indoors (never done it before barney) but maybe Im wrong? Do your rabbits (male or female, neutered or not) smell this much?
