Hey there. Welcome to RO.
Just curious - have you taken your bunny to the vet for a baseline check up?
Weird unpleasant smell, with sticky little poops reminds me of when I first got my 7 week old bunny from a pet store. He had a parasite (coccidia) which can cause sticky poo, smells kind of funny.
How sure are you that the poop you see are cecals?

Did the vet take a sample of her poop and examine it? That is how they found out my bun had parasites. Although for my bun, his body smelled weird, it wasn't so much his breath or mouth, although he wouldn't let me near there much, so who knows.

i put her in the kitchen area last night and this morning the whole kitchen floor was filled with poops. all of them were dried and normal looking and there were around 6 grapes shape poops. Maybe i should bring her to the dr tmr.
My bunny diet is morning: hay and pellets. Afternoon a tiny cube of apple or carrot, celery/ pasley/ silver beet. Evening : hay

The grape like poops are normal and they smell bad ; sometimes bunnies do not eat them all because they produce too many
make sure your rabbit gets a lot offresh hay..
if his breathe continues to smell odd or different all the time that would reflect another possible medical issue
butI don't think that is what you are describing :?
I have never noticed a smell on my rabbit but only the smell of the excess cecals
So you need to differentiate whether the poops near your rabbit smell bad or your rabbit smells bad..
if it is the latter maybe would be best to get it checked out as it possibly could be a problem like Kirbyultra pointed out earlier

My guys smell like marking poops--they have the ability to add smelly stuff to their poos and they do this to mark their territory with extra-smelly poops. At leas that's my experience. Tony and Muffin really like to do this in the part of their area that borders the other bunnies' area. Their butts smell like this and you can notice it when they crawl on you. Sometimes cleaning scent glands makes it better. At her age, though, I would be more inclined to suspect parasites like kirbyultra said. It's also possible she isn't eating all her cecal poos which is ok at her age. She should have unlimited grass hay and unlimited alfalfa pellets at her age.
