My new bunny is bleeding - please help!!

Young Bun
I got a bunny on the weekend to bond with my rabbit. She was abandoned so I'm not sure what age she is although she seems to be 6-12 months going by her size. But she seems in good health and has good teeth. She hasn't looked in any pain and is happy enough running around, eating and drinking. She has her own cage at the moment as I won't be bonding them for another few weeks

But this morning I woke to find blood in her cage, which I think she has passed while peeing as it's in that corner. I have only had my male bunny up to now and was wondering if this is something to worry about or if it is something an un-neutered female can go through?

I am ringing the vet as soon as it opens but if anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated.
 
Is it definately blood? Sometimes bunnies wee can be a bright red colour which is fairily normal. If it is blood and you can get a sample of it then the vet might find it useful.
 
You need to establish if it is actually blood as Rabbits urine can be an orangey brown in colour.
If it is blood then this is abnormal and needs Veterinary attention today.
 
Not 100% that it was blood as just seen the red and thought it was blood as my other bunny has never had red urine. But she had been peeing yellow since I got her on sat. She does seem fine though so fingers crossed its just urine :?
 
I think she'll be alright, it just seems to be her urine that is very red. I spoke with vet and he said to just keep close eye on her and he will check her out fully on saturday.

Phew :oops: had just panicked a bit when I seen the red
