Hiya I tend to find my rabbits wee a variety of colours but the colours don't show until the wee has dried somewhat, so it could simply be compounds that are naturally present in the urine. My rabbits sometimes have orangy wee but mine do eat a lot of veg including carrots in their diet. It may not be anything sinister if the bunny is otherwise behaving and eating normally. Hope this helps.

I think wee normally looks more yelllowy than pink, only going on my lots pee though :lol: Mine dont seem to change colour no matter what they eat :shock:
Has your son left the number of the vet he uses? Maybe give them a call and just ask You could put her on a white towel or bit of vetbed for the night as that will show up any colour and you should be able to see. If your in any doubt though I would speak to the vet just incase x

Wee can vary greatly in colour, have you, uhh, got any other patcehs of wee to compare it with? Am a bit mystified as to what it's doing outside the hutch though, could she have widdled over the side?
Am a bit mystified as to what it's doing outside the hutch though, could she have widdled over the side?Rang vets today most confusing, first person spoke to said probably best to bring "delilah" in, then when rang back to make appointment spoke to someone else who said this colour wee is quite normal, that she keeps rabbits and this has happened to hers. if "delilah seems ok is eating, drinking and doing what well rabbits do, then not too worry. Thanks for all your replys, will let you know if there are any changes,
Many thanks, Ziggy
