Mine are all outside, but only because my dad's serious allergies prevents them from being inside. Also, my 2 bucks have been outside since the day they were born (over 4 years) so they hate it inside and one of my does has been outside for a year and a half and now can't stand to be inside either. And I mean theyhate it (if you saw how they reacted to it, you'd see what I mean) and none of them will go to the washroom inside, even the one time I had my bucks in for 12 hours, neither of them went to the washroom and I had to let them outsidebefore they'd go to the washroom.:faint:
m.e.,
Wet hay doesn't smell, or at least it shouldn't if it hasn't been sitting long! I know this because I was testing a rabbit for allergies and one of the things I had to do was mist his hay to keep the dust down. WhenI clean hutches, the hay often ends up soaked and it smells wet, but it doesn't stink. If you've ever used newspaper as litter, you probably know that it almost seems to make the urine smell stronger. The same goes for hay, the urine that sits on the hay and gets absorbed is actually causing the smell, not the wet hay.
