Hi guys, i'm new here and happy to find this site. it's less than one month that someone gave a cute rabbit to me. and it is my first time that i have a rabbit so i have many questions about it. my rabbit's name is "Dani":love: . first of all, he has 2 kinds of output.first one is black round ones and i know it is ok, but the second one made me worry somehow. i don't know it is urine or it is diarrhea. because it is not just a transparent liquid. so i show you the picture i would be happy if anyone know what it is and tell me if i should be worry about it or not. thank you

Hello, that is urine :) Rabbit Urine can vary greatly in appearance

http://www.greendale.co.uk/rabbit_urinalysis.html

Are you in the UK ? I ask as if so you will need to register Dani with a Vet and arrange to have his vaccinations done :

You may also want to have him neutered when he is old enough. Bucks (male Rabbits) can be neutered as soon as their testicles descend, this is usually at about 14-16 weeks but may occur sooner in some Rabbits.

There is a lot of very useful information available about Rabbit Care on the Rabbit Welfare Association and Fund's website. I'd advise you to have a good look around it

I hope you will continue to post on RU :)

Phew - as JJ says, definitely urine (how clear it is & the colour can change dependant on diet).

Welcome to the forum - feel free to ask lots of questions, its how we learn (& when it comes to bunnies there is an awful lot to learn)

Hi there and welcome to the Forum :wave:

What you are seeing is rabbit urine, so no worries there :)

Rabbis often have a degree of sediment in their urine, due to the way they process and excrete calcium.


There's an explanation here of why rabbit urine is cloudy:
