Commonly, that nasty recognizable smell is called ammonia.
The enzyme urease is formed within the rabbit intestinal tract, thus transforming it into the awful smell of ammonia as it rises into the air.
Controlling this production will prevent ammonia from being formed in the rabbit's lower gut and the urine/fecal collection area.
The Yucca Schidigera plant inhibits the activity of urease and reduces it in the air. Many commercial pellet feeds are being made with this ingredient for this particular reason for rabbitries. You can also add the yucca into the diet "on the side" through the plant itself or other supplement products.
There are also products you can use within the collection pan of the rabbits cage that will absorb and control the ammonia.

i don't have a rabbit despite the fact that this is usually a similar with all animals. They do have their very own smell (you have smelled moist canines i assume?) despite the fact that this is the cage that smells undesirable. in case you keep it clean and clutter prepare it, you will basically ought to scoop the clutter on a daily basis, clean each and every thing down as quickly as a week, and alter the bedding a pair situations a week. DON"T use air freshener interior the room the bunny is in. Animals are very comfortable to smell, so spray or candles or perhaps in straightforward terms a sort of gel issues will particularly worsen the animal because of the fact this is lots better for them than for you. I also have a ferret and that i do no longer locate she smells too undesirable (till she gets moist, then this is like the equivalent of moist canines)... to help save the smell down I basically open the window and swap on a fan and it gets the air circulating out of the room. you mustn't try this all day because of the fact animals are prone to catching a draft, yet use it to clean the air out of the room. in case you're able to desire to spray febreeze or something, do it while the animal isn't interior the room and wait a minimum of a million/2 hour in the previous you enable her decrease back in. If this is spray, save it far flung from the cage. good good fortune!

Rabbits just have stinky urine, period, but I also think stress can attribute to the smell.
