Orange wee?

Hey,

My bunnies wee has always been darkish in colour, though I put some of it down to the newspaper in the bottom of the tray, but never dark orange like it was today. Is that okay or something I need to take them to the vet for?

Thank you.

have you been feeding carrot by any chance? :lol:

You only need to worry if wee is constantly chalky (indicates a diet too high in calcium) or if there is blood in it :)
 
As I was told, blood dries brown and not orange. Mine always have orange/pink/red wee. I've given up worrying and put it down to the shavings dying the newspaper and what they manage to snatch when bombing around the garden.
 
hehe!:lol::oops:
well I have to say I'm glad that I'm embarrassed and not worried!
Thank you for your help. They've not had carrot, but they did have pear tree, perhaps it's that!
