A rabbit’s scent glands are on both sides of the anus, in both males and females. They secrete a substance with a strong smell used to send messages to other rabbits. The secretion is pale yellow and, if not cleaned for long, may form a dark tan hard crust that can infect.
Therefore, clean the glands appropriately with a water-moistened cotton swab to remove the secretion.
