Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Rabbits can get red wee from various things in their diet, dandelion leaves, carrots etc. Have they had anything new or different in the past 24 hours?
Is all the wee red or are there streaky bits of red in it? Is it fresh wee or has it been 'sitting' for a while?
How are they acting in themselves?
If you are concerned then you can get a vet to check them out.

I had this before with lottie and george, i rushed them to the vet to be told anything from grass to dandelions can give them red wee 
Red wee is normal as such, as long as it isnt blood :?
I know its hard to tell but i believe if it had blood in its kinda streaky?? Not a whole pool as such Jacks Jane would be the best to ask xXx

thanks but should i restrict their greens???
If its not blood then it healthy and ok for them to have red wee. The blood, I believe, tends to pool, or looks streaky and is apparnetly very obviosuly blood. Obviously pure blood would be bright red. Personally I think it sounds like something has done this to them, like food, as opposed to an illness, because its happened to them both, at the same time.
Having said that, if you are concerned, then get them checked by your vet.

No
Dark red wee is not an 'illness'. It is caused by by plant porphyrin pigments in the diet.
