Hello! I’m a new rabbit owner, so I’m still trying to get the hang of things and understand what’s normal and what isn’t. I adopted my bunnies this past Sunday, so I haven’t established a baseline yet and I have nothing to compare it to, however, I was cleaning out the litterbox today and noticed some urine that was a bit darker than I expected it to be. Would some more experienced bunny-keepers be able to tell me if this looks normal or if there is any cause for concern? Thank you!

This one happens to be on a towel, but I can try to get some from the newsprint if that would help. I just find that the newsprint rips so easily that its difficult to find a good example.

The bunnies seem perfectly healthy other than perhaps this dark urine. They’re eating lots of hay and pooping frequently and from what I can tell, their poop is formed well. The only other thing I’m not quite sure of is if they’re drinking enough water. I’m not sure how much they should be drinking in a day, but I expected it to be a bit more than what I’ve seen. I’m making sure their veggies are always covered in water droplets to try and keep them hydrated and I’ve provided a couple of different clean bowls of water around their room. As for pellets, I’m currently transitioning them from a Purina pellet that they were on at the shelter to the Oxbow Adult Rabbit timothy pellet. 

Any help with this would be appreciated!

Thanks!
