  Neutering and spaying them cuts back on the smell significantly, as does littertraining and using a good litter material such as Carefresh or Yeseterday’s News.

  Spaying and Neutering will not only reduce the smell, but also will allow them to live longer lives without being hormonal.
  
  A rabbit savvy vet is recommended for spays and neuters and be sure to ask the essential questions, how many rabbits do you see weekly, do you give pain medication after spays/neuters, etc.
  
  The only time I smell something is when I am dumping the litter into a bag

  I’ve heard good things about the urine-neutralizing and fragrance masking of Green Aspen litter. Also that it’s a good litter in general. It’s suppposed to have a woodsy-lemony smell that is very pleasant even when wet. I personally have yet to try it. I use Carefresh Ultra which keeps down the odor as I change the litter at least every couple or few days. Carefresh is pretty expensive though. Yesterday’s News and Equine Pine are supposed to be good also.

  What litter are you currently using mjfan96? Another thing that can cause odour is the box itself. If plastic, it absorbs urine smell after time and smells terrible everytime it is re-wet. Replacing older boxes could help.

  If there is a vet who has done rabbit spay before then this might be an option. Don’t let just any vet who is willing though if they are not exeperienced. It is different to dogs and cats. Rabbits need care with anaesthesia and must not be fasted before surgery.
