Bunny urine can be brown, red, orange, yellow, ect… It’s normal.

Most pics I’ve seen of bloody bunny urine it’s speckled/splotchy throughout instead of purely red.

I’ve never seen it myself, but apparently it’s really common:

I’ve not encountered that colour before….Is it all the time ?

I really feel that any time there is a concern where you are unsure if vet treatment is required then the best solution is to ask the vet…

Make an appointment but a few hours before you are due to go put down a clean empty litter box and if she uses it put some into a container to take with you as a sample…

What color is it when it dries? If it dries red it’s probably not blood. Do you feed her beets or othe strongly colored foods?

Strawberries?

When I give mine dandelion greens, their pee turn red. The plant pigment that causes this can be found in other plants too, but I’ve mostly seen it when I’ve fed a good amount of dandelion greens.

Bunny-pee can become reddish for no apparent reason too, then porphyrine is responsible for the colour, but it’s still not regarded as a cause for concern.

I didn’t think of this before, but since winter came, my bunnies urine has been uniformly pale in colour. In the summer when I’m able to feed them a greater variety of greens, the colour of their pee vary a lot. 

Mine always pee browny-red, like a kind of rusty colour. That looks REALLY red though. Maybe worth a trip to the vet just to be sure?

Here’s alink on the subject:

Hello!

What is your rabbit’s diet? Everything, from the proportion of hay to pellets and all the fruits and veg!
As well, what kind of toys does your rabbit have access to?
Caged or uncaged?
Spayed?
Any other signs of an abnormal rabbit?
Is your rabbit a bottle drinker or a bowl drinker? I would make both available as dark urine could also signify dehydration. If however, your rabbit drinks an excessive amount of water, it could also mean another health issue such as a thyroid condition

It is honestly really common for a rabbit’s pee to range from yellow, to dark red (like in your picture there) it is often a symbol of too much calcium in your rabbits diet. This includes things like collard greens, kelp, kale, spinach (which should only be given in LIMITED quantities), broccoli, celery, etc.

I recommend phasing back the veg to one type (maybe try dill for now). See if the problem persists and slowly bring these items back into your buns diet.

Also, if you are using an alfalfa hay… stop using it. Grass hays are much better for the digestive tract and should help with the red urine.

Rabbits shed excess calcium via urination. Kale is fine to feed everyday. Calcium really only becomes in issue in rabbits that are pre-disposed to bladder sludge/crystal issues.

I think you are overworrying yourself about this. A vet visit might be in order if you want to put your mind at ease other wise I wouldn’t fret. The amount of greens you’re feeding sounds fine (greens help keep rabbits hydrated too). Bloody urine usually has dark splotches of dried blood in it and is NOT bright red. Bright red blood is fresh blood and peeing out that much fresh blood on a regular basis… You would have noticed other medical problems.

I found an article for you Marina.

“Red colour of the urine is sometimes observed in rabbits. It is probably caused by a plant pigment and does not affect the health of the animal.”

Red urine is a descriptive term for the condition where a rabbit’s urine varies in color from the normal pale yellow to dark yellow, carrot orange, brown, or bright red. Red urine is not a medical problem. The color usually returns to normal within one to three days, although I have had a couple of rabbits take three to four weeks before their urine returned to the pale yellow color.
