Blood in urine? (Warning pee pics)

I noticed a darker looking patch of ursine in the wooden edge if the run by the litter tray. I dabbed a paper towl in it and the result was this:

To me that looks much darker than the usual yellow stains on my carpet. Smokey and Poppy share the litter tray so I can't be sure for sure who's it is but smokey being a chap tends to pee on the edge (and the wall, the radiator etc) plus he's been a little quiet today while Poppy has been binkying and dongs standing jumps etc. both seem to be eating.

If this is blood, can it wait till tomorrow or is it an emergency? To you experienced rabbit caters, does this look like blood?

I should add that if it is Smokey then does it link to his blood shot eye I noticed a couple if days ago?
 
Not eaten anything unusual today.

Their diet is 80% hay based (green oat, meadow, ready grass) and a small amount of broccoli, cucumber, fresh herbs and the very occasional thin slice of banana.

Glad you more experienced bods aren't concerned - I can go out for NYE and only worry about the buns as much as usual :)
 
My bus get this with dark greens and also dandelions sometimes. It is worrying when you first see it but try and have a nice evening :)
