Here's what influences urine smell in rabbits:
* Diet: A diet high in protein or certain vegetables (like broccoli) can lead to stronger smelling urine.
* Water intake: Dehydration can concentrate urine and make it smell stronger.
* Health: Urinary tract infections or other health issues can change urine odor.
* Spaying or neutering: Spaying and neutering can reduce urine marking behaviors, which might lead to less perceived smell.
* Individual variation: Just like humans, rabbits have individual variations in their urine odor.
It's important to remember that a strong urine smell is not always indicative of a problem. If you are concerned about your rabbit's urine odor, consult your veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.
