I'm puzzled, what causes discolouration of urine?
Hi folks,
I hope it is nothing to serious as both bunnies, Bertie and Bubbles seem fine, eating, pooing, grooming and interacting.
I had them out in the garden today and left their carrier with some cotton towels in the run as they like to digg them about and build cosy beds, in the mesh tunnel.
When I collected them to bring them inside I realised that they owes had multiple urine Staines on them, all bright orange!
Have they turned to fans of the Dutch team at the football?
Trying to establish what I fed over the last few days and can't think of anything unusual.
Hay, pellets as you do. I have given them some green oat hay which they enjoy?!?
Veggies: little bit of carrot ,broccolie, babysweetcorn, kale, spring green, red peppers
Fruit: apple, pineapple and as super treat a cherry each with stone removed obviously.
Anyone with any ideas of what is causing this?
I can't tell whether it is only from one or from both bunnies.
All suggestions are welcome

Kale makes Molly and/or Junior pee orangey-brown
But there are a few things on your list that could be the culprit. I wouldn't worry

Re: I'm puzzled, what causes discolouration of urine?
I remember the first time our rabbit Lady peed bright orange milky urine. I thought she must be dying. The vet reassured me it was normal and urine color changes were almost always due to something they had eaten. Spinach was the cause in that particular time.

Re: I'm puzzled, what causes discolouration of urine?
I think just about anything can make it go funny colours.... Apples, carrots, kale.....
I think the only time to worry is if it seems sludgey and full of calcium or if there is blood in it.

No,no no debris or white stuff. Just bright orange it actually looks quite attractive if it would be not only patches here in there.
Up into the washing machine on hot cycle or into rubbish bin!
The towels not the bunnies

Holly hasn't so far but I have had bunnies in the past who have sometimes had orange wee-wees. Try not to worry love.
