clover > mocha is the bunny in ur avatar right? have u thought of cutting her fur short? then use a damp cloth to clean it thoroughly. i think maybe 'cause the fur too thick, so after long run, sweat,... so resulted in some BO. that's what i did to all my angoras (puppy's wife and babies) every now and then.

The bugs I found in Oxbow Alfalfa hay were dead, so they won't cause any major harm. I think bunnylover is feeding NPF. I'm feeding that to Mocha, but might be changing brands when she is older. For some funny reason, she has body odour. Very strong and smelly compared to Bunbun and Flounder. I have to apply bunny powder for her more often. Their living conditions are the same, just on different pellets. I'm not sure if it's the food causing it, but I do wonder. I dun think it's the NPF pellets cos i oso feed bunnypoo tt since baby n oso my 2 ex bunnies for 2 yrs liao !..........all no smell at all leh. Infact my relatives lst time my place n lst time sniffin them...after i persuded them....was rabbits not smellin at all .....misconception tt rabbits veli dirty n smell !!! . So i veli sure not NPF lor .....could it b sweat like puppy said.... ;D

Do rabbits sweat? Actually I dunno leh, I thought they don't sweat at all. Like cats and dogs can't sweat, except from their noses, mouth and paw pads. lol If it's really sweat, I can clean her up easily. Actually, her fur is not thick. It's short and normal. Easy to maintain compared to Bunbun. That girl's fur flies all over me. Everytime I groom her, I end up eating some of her fur and hacking like a cat with a hairball. Like that if it's not her food, I can't understand what it is. These days I also clean all their litterbox more often. Once every 2 days, I change all the litter in the box. My current BC consumption is 3 x 13.3kg bags per month, going on 4 bags. Madness. Plus Pets Preference which is 2 x 30L bags per month also. It's been raining heavily since last night. Although it's more cooling, I feel gloomy. Wonder if the pets will also feel gloomy cos it rained for almost 24 hours. I'm scared that they are depressed.

bunnylover doesn't find that she smells. I think she only got it after she came to my place. Think only about 1 to 2 months after I got her, she has this smell. Previously, she didn't have it.
Umm, only if I can sleep, then I'll feel happy about the rain. But I can't sleep now, cos got test tomorrow. So dun feel happy la. lol

dunno if it's considered sweat or not lah. i feel that if ur bunny's fur v thick and long hor, the chances that their skin gets the fresh air is lesser lor. that's why they tend to have a bit of smell if weather is hot. dun think they'll sweat like us lah.

Geraldo, the hay is premium oat hay from USA, the same one that Urbanpets was selling. You want? I can pass you some to try. If your bunnypoo like it, next time you can buy lor. Me live AMK, not too far from your place la. Or if I go back HG to see my mom, I pass to you?
And ya, bunny don't perspire. The dissipate heat thr their ears. So if their ears are warm/hot that means the bun is feeling too warm liao. Yesterday you saw fluffy and joy resting on the iced bottle? Joy's ears were quite hot liao so I cooled them down.
Clover, the smell could it be due to the scent gland? There is scent gland under the chin and the butt area. That may cause smell if not clean up. You can also apply pureen cornstarch powder. I bought mine from Shop n Save. It's like talcum powder like dat but very soft and fine. I use it for my dog or myself lor.

Okie. I'll check her scent glands. Hopefully it's not a problem. Will prob have to clean her ears as well then. But it doesn't smell like her ears. It smells general, like all over the body like that. lol
