This is a specific conversation about Rabbit supplies — what you actually need — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Living with a rabbit in a shared house is totally doable, but odour management is the thing you have to get right — because if housemates start noticing, the rabbit becomes a house issue fast. Before I point you toward anything specific, tell me a bit more: is your Cinnamon litter-trained and using a designated litter area, or is the smell more general from the hutch or free-roam space? And is the main concern urine smell, hay smell, or both?
She's pretty well litter-trained, thankfully. The main issue is the litter tray — urine smell builds up between cleans, and I can't always clean it every single day with work. I don't want anything heavily perfumed because that would just draw more attention.

That's a really common situation and you're right to avoid heavily scented products — they often just mask the ammonia briefly and then you end up with both smells competing. The thing that makes the biggest difference here is what's inside the litter tray, not a spray on top of it. What are you currently using as litter substrate?
Just regular wood pellets from a pet shop at the moment. They're okay but the smell still creeps through after a day or two.

Wood pellets are decent but they hit their limit quickly with rabbit urine, which is quite concentrated and high in ammonia. The upgrade I'd recommend is Kaytee Clean & Cozy Natural bedding — it's a paper-based substrate with genuinely good ammonia neutralisation built in, not just fragrance. It absorbs several times its weight in liquid, controls odour for noticeably longer than wood pellets, and crucially it has no scent, so your housemates won't clock anything unusual. It's widely available on Amazon UK in large bags which works out cost-effective. Line the tray generously — a good thick layer makes a real difference to how long it lasts between full changes. You can still spot-clean daily if you have five minutes, but on days you can't, it holds up.
That sounds good. Is there anything else worth adding on top of that, or is the substrate the main thing?
inparticular.ai
The substrate is genuinely 80% of the battle. If you want a belt-and-braces approach, a light spray of Beaphar Deep Clean small animal disinfectant when you do the full tray change eliminates bacteria at the source rather than just absorbing them — it's odourless once dry and rabbit-safe. But honestly, if Cinnamon is well litter-trained and you switch to the Kaytee bedding, most people in shared houses find that's enough on its own. Start there and see how you get on.
Perfect, that's really helpful. I'll order the Kaytee bedding today.

Great choice — get the large bag, it looks bulky but it compresses down and it'll last you a while. Your housemates won't even know Cinnamon is there.
