Green urine?

Tonight(830p) I noticed Bofurs litter pan had green urine in it, it was clear at roughly 2pm.
Is the a sign of something?
Acting normal-ish, eating is normal and has been pooing normally as well. Caught him sleeping today which also isn't normal but I'm also not usually home at that time of day so I wasn't worried. Should I be concerned?

Has he eaten anything unusual (for him) over the last 24 hours ?
What substrate is in the litter pan ?

Normal Rabbit urine can vary greatly in colour due to things like diet and hydration status, but truly green urine as opposed to a yellowish green is not a normal finding. So if it continues I would contact your Vet.

Has Bofurs chewed any green dyed wood ie wooden toys. They have colourings sometimes which can run or come out when wet or chewed.
 
Thank you for your speedy responses!
He had a little spinach for breakfast today.
I use piddle pads for his litter.
It's a very light yellowish green color and he's been drinking more water lately.
He doesn't really seem to like toys so it's not that but I never would've thought about a dye transfer but I'll keep it filed away in case!

A greenish colour urine is more than likely to be down to something he's eaten. You mention the spinach and it's probably that :D

I wouldn't worry any more if I were you!
