Scent glands help - new question 09/12

Ok, I managed to get the solidified bits off with lots of gentle persuasion. I think she still needs her scent glands cleaned properly, but she started struggling, so I'll get that tomorrow.
She thanked me with a hard bite on the boob :lol:
 
I checked on Poppy a couple of days after cleaning her scent glands, and decided she would benefit from a bum bath, that was Saturday.

Checked her today, and she still smells. I don't know if I'm just picking up on it because I'm looking for it, or if it's a bigger problem? I had a closer look, and everything appears clean enough, but her fur around her bum area is a bit waxy.

Is she spayed? :)

New question:

Our other bunny smelled like his scent glands needed a good clean out, but when I did it, they were nice and clean looking anyway. The clean out didn't help with the smell either. Is that something to worry about?

Is he neutered? I find they smell more when they aren't.. [emoji38]

Yes, neutered a few years ago now. The smell is definitely new!

Hmm I really don't know then, weird that it's new all of a sudden, I think I read somewhere that male buns that are neutered can be a bit rubbish at cleaning them.. But you said they were clean..

Hopefully someone else will be able to comment :)
