I think rabbits are cool because they are fast and cute.
Generally with their noses. If they are healthy, their nose should be sort of twitching all the time and you shouldn't be able to hear their breathing.
the smell of carrots :D
if it smells like a skunk then it is probably spraying to mark its teritory only wash your rabbit if it is an emergency like he is all muddy
female rabbits have more of a hormone charge especially if they have not been spayed. she will also have a season, this can be noticeable if she suddenly smells alot stronger or different (usually an unpleasant smell) she may have an unusual dirty bottom as well. male rabbits will only smell when old or have a dirty bottom
Some do, if the mom smells fear from an intruder or if she belives something is wrong with her babies.
Rabbits are fearful of a lot of things, loud noises, smells and quick movements around them. They can also be fearful of dogs, cats and people.
if a rabbit smells, it may have a dirty cage or hutch. All you need is some woodchip and straw or hay and a little bit of disinfectant to clean it. Or if you try cleaning the hutch and the rabbit still smells, take it to the vet. He/she will sort it out.
no way it smells like burning rubber on the out skirts of my field in Germany with rabbits fur burning from the space of giants
A male does not always need a mate Male rabbits, like other animals, are triggered by the female scent. If a male rabbit never smells a female rabbit, he will never know he is missing anything. If a male rabbit smells a female rabbit, he will always need to be with her. It is his job to make a lot of baby rabbits. If you don't intend to breed the male rabbit, it is best to have him neutered. He will be a happier rabbit and more docile. He will also only think about you and his food.
You should not use cedar shavings as nesting material. Although it smells great to us, it has fumes and dust that effect the rabbit's respiratory system and eyes.
Rabbits will act very timid in a place where everything is different. (New smells, different places, etc.) Let the rabbit be for a couple of days until he/she gets used to it's new place, then try to be gentle with it like stroking its fur!Good Luck!
A healthy rabbit in a clean habitat doesn't smell. Rabbits groom themselves. Unaltered rabbits smell stronger than altered rabbits because of the hormones they secrete and spray around the room. (This is only one of many good reasons to spay/neuter your rabbit.) Otherwise, if your rabbit smells, bring her to a rabbit-savvy vet as soon as possible because something is wrong.
if u want to get rid of them, the smell of blood and or urine brings them away. they think it means danger. dont kill them, it is animal abuse. (both edits r from same person)
