Do Lop Rabbits Smell? How to Handle a Smelly Rabbit
Lop rabbits are clean, burrow-loving animals that groom themselves and have light-scattering droppings, so they rarely smell. This guide explains why a rabbit may smell—litter habits and scent glands—and how to fix it with training, diet, bathing, and hygiene.
Some of my rabbit’s droppings are very round, some are stuck together, they’re black, some are a bit long, and some look like they’re connected by fur
Normal rabbit droppings are usually cylindrical or slightly flattened ovals, fairly firm, uniform in size, smooth on the surface, and dark brown or black in color. Because rabbits are herbivores, the fur-like bits in the middle are most likely bits of grass stem. Also, rabbits frequently groom themselves, so some hair ends up in the stool — this is all normal. But from the photo, your rabbit's pellets are rather small, which may point to slightly insufficient water intake; make sure it always has plenty of water, and occasionally offer vegetables like carrot or celery to add moisture.
My rabbit has red, teary eyes with white discharge
Red, teary eyes with white discharge may be infection, allergy, foreign body, or tear-duct issues. Rinse with saline, use anti-inflammatory drops or antibiotic ointment, keep environment dry, and feed only hay to avoid allergies.

How do rabbits sleep?

What do a rabbit’s normal eyes look like?
Healthy rabbit eyes are round, clear and bright, move freely and show no redness, discharge or squinting. Eye color varies widely. Redness, discharge or light sensitivity signals infection or injury needing treatment.
Why did my rabbit’s urine change color?
Rabbit urine commonly changes color; normal is yellow or amber, sometimes lighter, and can turn red. Low water intake darkens it (normal, add water); a urinary tract injury can cause red urine, needing a vet.
