Odd question!

Charlie has just hit maturity in the last week, what i wanted to know is, do their poops smell different at this stage:?
 
They can do as unneutered rabbits poo's smell much stronger than neutered rabbits poo. They have scent glands on either side of their bum which releases a waxy brown substance (the same as skunks do but in a waxy form rather than liquid) and the poos rubs against this wax when they poop. It smells a bit like strong coffee I think.

Thanks for your reply Lady Logamorph, Charlie isnt neutered yet! unfortunately he has Pasteurella, but he is getting better. Glad it is in a waxy form as he is pooping all over the sofas at the moment:oops::roll:
 
He's marking. Bigwig did this constantly when he hit his teens. After he's neutered he may continue this behaviour for about a week (that's how long Bigwig and Coco took) until their hormones have worn off.
