Urination color question

New Kit
I hope I'm using this forum correctly. Please forgive me if I'm not, I'm new and trying to find my way around here.

I adopted 2 young bunnies recently. One is almost 8 weeks old and has seen the vet. She is doing well.

The other one is 5-6 weeks old (unknown true age). I have no history on this one. It seems fine...eats, plays, sleeps, poops...all looks good. The thing I am concerned with is his (or hers) pee is white. Is this normal? Because I'm not seeing any other symptoms I'm hesitant to bring it to the vet. It has only been in my home for 2 days and is very shy. I don't want to add trauma unneccesarily, so taking it to the vet needs to be a 'must'.

Both bunnies are indoor pets and have an entire bedroom designed just for them. They are kept warm and have ample room to run and play.

Any thoughts on this 'pee color'?

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Aside from the milky wee why is a 5-6 week old kit not still with his/her Mum ?

Milky wee occurs when the Bun excretes excess dietry calcium.
In my experience it is not a common issue in such a young Rabbit :?

Because it was given to me when it was found by a friend. I wasn't planning on two bunnies (Daisy is almost 8 weeks old) but since she is young enough to bond easily to another bunny I thought it would be fine to take this one in as well. I agree, I'd prefer to have this one with it's mum too, but it was alone when it was found off in a store parking lot. :(

I'm more than happy to adopt it and give it a forever home.

Thank you for your thoughts on what the milk white pee is. Hmmm...still not sure if a trip to the vet warrants the stress it will cause on this wee bunny. He's starting to become friendly and less afraid. I hate to upset him unless he truly needs it. He's been through too much already.

Hi maybe a call to the vets would be advisable, just explain the situation and see what they advise?
