yea, obviously it is a pretty poor form ofcommunication since my last thread asking the opinion of rabbitbreeders about overpopulation - which i perfectly stated in the initialpost that i was looking for perspective and not an argument got stoppedbecause someone took offense...almost made me want to leave this sitefor good.

IMO....Breeders are not really the ones to ask of opinions concerningoverpopulation. Reason being??.....they are often the ones that get theunsubstantiated first blame for over-breeding and their methods ofculling to avoid overpopulation are not overly accepted by rabbit"owners".

You might need to clean the scent glands.
Cleaning out scent glands
Rabbits have a scent gland either side of their anus. The scent glandneeds cleaning out as the scent is a liquid that can clog up the gland.Its a yucky stinky job, but it needs to be done. To clean the scentglands out, get a cotton bud and wet it with warm water. You may needto get someone to help you hold the rabbit upside down securely. Gentlyswab at the scent glands until the discharge comes off. If you have anytrouble doing this, ask your vet to do it for you.

i just thought it would be better to haveanother bunny out there with her...anyways thats not a problem anymore,but we're still considering getting another bun...
she started smelling better after i took the alfalfa out, andsinceshe has been back on timothy hay she'scompletely back to normal..no smell at all... i have also used a littlebit of that bi-odor that you suggested... she has been inside the wholetime, but we're going to put her cage in a fence outside so that whenit gets a little warmer she can go out and run around..
thanks for the help everybody
*edit*
just thought i'd say that she's getting spayed sometime

I had a feeling that you'd be able to easily solve the stinkie bunniemystery....unless it was due to an underlaying health problem.

I'm glad you solved the problem and you get to keep her inside. yipee!
Regarding her fall, i hope she heals soon. I hate when my bunnies are wounded.

That's great. In my experience I'venoticed bunnies are super fast healers. A few days ago one ofmy rabbits tore a hole in the other's ear and now you would neverknow! at first i was really worried about what would happenbut she healed up almost over night.
