Help! Red liquid on blanket

My bunny Misty has a blanket in her run for her to sit on and for the last 2 days its had a redish/orange liquid on it not a great deal just like a smudging!

Any ideas as to what it it???
 
Probably urine.
Rabbit wee can be any colour from clear through to dark orangey brown. The urine changes colour depending on what Bunny eats.

I doubt it is blood but check her over thoroughly just in case :)
 
I was scared by this once it was almost like blood ,but got some advice ,sometimes if rabbits eat vegtables they can not process some of the minerals and it will come out in the urine staining it ,its not always the veg you think,spinach and green things cause it most,it happens a lot and is totally harmless ,I was freaked by it thinking our bun was bleeding to death`,there are quite a lot of articles about it on the net if you want to check x
