Do rabbits stink? I've heard that they do but other places say they don't. I'm getting 2 rabbits and I'm going to clean their cage well and often and get them spayed/neutered, will they stink?

The rabbits I raised didn't really smell, you just gotta keep their cage cleaned.

As long as you keep your rabbits "hutch" clean, no, they won't stink. I raised rabbits outside and used their poo for fertilizer for my garden! Best fertilizer ever!

You might also want to fill the cage with wood pellets (1-1 1/2 inches)(help to absorb smell) then add a layer of news paper (~2 papers thick) (which they can eat/chew) then add a layer or wood shavings (1/2-2inches)

  My bro has a rabbit too. Be careful if they stomp the floor with their hind legs and do not drop them!! They can survive a 3-4 foot drop but they might get angry and bite you...

  Rabbits are the perfect small-medium pet have fun with those guys!

Also get a air freshener that isn't too strong. Good enough to get rid of the smell but not good enough to make your rabbit pass out!

I fed mine alfalfa hay and used it for bedding.  It smells great!  The animals themselves don't have any smell.  At least to people.  Their poop and pee does.  Just keep the hutch clean.

My rabbit was very territorial.  She bit sometimes.
