Can rabbits smell?
A rabbit needs a good sense of smell to live well and to have a long life. It needs to smell and run from a predator (enemy) before that predator eats the rabbit for lunch. The rabbit needs to smell other rabbits nearby that it may want to mate with in order to not become extinct. And it needs to smell for food like the yummy vegetables in my garden. Rabbits with a poor sense of smell may not notice a predator approaching, may not find a mate for reproduction of the species, and may not be able to locate the most nutritious food to keep itself healthy. The rabbits that have a good sense of smell will be better at escaping a predator's attack, finding a mate, and locating food. Rabbits with good sniffers will outnumber rabbits that are sniff-challenged!!

How do you remove your rabbits' scent glands?
You can't. If your rabbits smell, take them to visit a vet. Their smell should be hardly detectable. If they smell, they may be sick. Or maybe you need to clean their habitat more often. If you smell something unpleasant, it is more than likely a buck (male rabbit) spraying. That scent is powerful. Your rabbits will smell less if you alter them (neuter/spay; this is only one of many reasons why you should neuter/spay your rabbit). See the links/questions below for more info.

How far away can a rabbit smell?
Well it really depends mostly on how much you care for it/them. The main source of smell is in the hutch or cage, that is why you should clean out your guinea pigs a minimum of three times a week. Obviously all animals can smell whilst doing the toilet but my two male guinea pigs don't give off many bad smells. Hope this helped a bit
