Mine are indoors and I also have a good sense of smell.
The door is always open and the windows are usually cracked a little as it gets stuffy in there room but not smelly. Well, not unless Mini's tummy plays up :mrgreen:

Its a 6 foot cage/ litter tray. emptied in the bin everyday but over winter, prob every other day to clean the litter tray. Bunnies live in the room though so they no sat in the cage. Kind of like a cat?
I usually do Moo's every night before bed, he has 2 corner litter trays, one in his pen/base and one in the corner of my room... He won't use a tray unless it's a corner one, I got him underbed storage boxes like everyone on here and he refuses to hop in, he just sits next to it and pulls the hay out :roll:

Every other day, sometimes daily in the summer if I think it needs it but not very often :wave:

Can I point out mine do live in a large shed, so its not like their sitting in their own **** as some people seem to be making out....
I think it depends on what's in the litter tray to soak it up, the rabbits and how much they drink and eat, how many trays they've got, how big the tray is and how much litter there is in it, and wether there's a hay rack or not. They should be done when they need doing. I use the wood based cat litter pellets in large trays, 3 trays per pair, and they have hay in racks above. Different trays need cleaning more frequently than others, the one where the hay is gets used by both my pairs more. But the boys don't eat and drink as much as my girls so their output of wee isn't as much. So I don't think it's fair to criticise someone if they clean there's out less often than you because they may have different litters etc. mine would have to be done daily if their litter tray contained their eating hay and newspaper for example. in fact my girls won't eat any hay that has hit the floor either in or out of their tray they are so fussy!

I clean out the fluffies about every 5 days - we use loads of bio-catolet litter with straw on top, which I top up everyday - they don't smell and it works well.
The lops need cleaning out every 2nd day at least - probably every day in summer as they pee an awful lot and if their litter tray is smelly they find somewhere else to pee in their hutch:roll:

Except when they are using their litter trays.
No-one is making out anything - merely expressing surprise that your litter trays are able to go so long without changing

They poo on the floor more than the trays anyway!
