  Sorry, for this image – which is not even in a good quality.
  
  Molly just peed in the food bowl and I noticed that the colour of her pee is very yellow mixed with some white creamy fluid (doesn’t show on the picture). Does this look normal to you??
  
  Karl’s looks nothing like this. It is much more watery.
  
  I introduced Molly to spinach yesterday – and she got quite a lot of it, because she liked it so much. Could that be the reason?

  As long as she urinating normally it should be fine. Rabbits can excrete excess calcium and oxalates through their urine. This is not sludge though – sludge is very very thick like toothpaste and it smells very bad.

  Oh good. Thank you I was thinking that it was really bad timing for her to get ill on a Friday evening.
  
  But it is extremely yellow, don’t you think?

  It looks fine to me. Sometimes urine will change color when it is exposed to the air.

  Emrys and Rui usually have cloudy yellow, sometimes almost orange, urine. I was worried at first, because it was such a strange color, but it seems to be normal for them.
