Rabbits actually excrete two types of "poop", partially digested cecals (aka "night feces") and fully digested feces. True feces are firmer and smaller, having been fully processed by the rabbit; while the feces isn't entirely odourless, it does have very little smell. Cecals are formed in the large intestines and are reingested by the rabbit in order to absorb certain vitamins and minerals; they are a little larger and moister than true feces and may have slightly more aroma.

The lack of noticeable smell in either form is most likely due to the nature of a healthy rabbit's diet. Rabbits are true herbivores (plant eaters) and the high fibre content of their diet produces drier feces with little waste remaining.
