Dark brown/red wee?

My wife said Peter had done this last night but I never saw it. Now he seems to have done this again in his run. He seems perfectly okay. Any ideas?

Buckley's pee is dark brown :D
The colour is affected by what they eat I believe.

Also, unneutered bucks tend to have pretty rancid pee most of the time, very rich in colour, delightful aroma :mrgreen:
 
Certain foods can cause this (I think it might be an excess of dandelions but I can't remember - try the search function on here, and the health section) but it could also be a bit of blood.

Worth getting him checked over by a vet though if there's no obvious cause, or at least phone the vets to check on their guidance.

Hope he's okay.:wave:
 
Thanks folks. Dandelions it is! He loves them, I'll maybe just give him a few less. Wasn't sure what it was, so I stuck my finger in it and had a smell :shock::oops:

I'm sure it's not blood and he seems fine. I'll keep an eye on him in any case. :wave:
