the bunny itself doesn't smell. But when Chrissy is having gut issues and diarrhea she does smell a lot. Since she's free-range, but she has a cage where to eat/sleep/occasionally poop and pee, when the bedding of the cage is blanket and hay, it starts smelling after she pees cause the pee doesn't soak in well in a towel, so even with daily changes it smells. with woodshavings/megazorb you can get a few smell-free days.
