No, rabbits do not have menses (aka menstruation, period, etc.). There is no normal or healthy reason for rabbits to bleed from their genitalia. If your rabbit is bleeding from her genitalia, this is a sign of serious illness: it could be a urinary infection, ovarian cancer, or something else. Your rabbit-savvy vet should examine the rabbit as soon as possible so they can determine what's wrong and treat the rabbit. If you notice your rabbit is bleeding, carefully observe its behaviour and health signs until the time of the vet appointment; if the rabbit shows other signs of ill-health, bump up the appointment; if the situation turns into an emergency, bring the rabbit in immediately -- if the rabbit vet isn't open, bring the rabbit to a 24/7 emergency vet immediately. See the related questions below for details.

Red-coloured urine doesn't necessarily mean the rabbit is bleeding. Rabbit urine can range in colour depending on what it's eaten recently, if the rabbit's under stress, if the rabbit's dehydrated, the weather, etc. If you're concerned the rabbit may be bleeding, replace the litter material with a white towel. After the rabbit's peed on it, if you notice reddish blotches or splotches in the wet areas, that's blood; but if the reddish colour is spread out evenly everywhere it's wet, that's not blood, just coloured urine.

If your rabbit has brightly coloured urine, it could be perfectly fine, but just to be sure: observe the rabbit's behaviour and health signs closely for the next few days (see related question below for details). Make sure the rabbit has access to fresh water all the time. (Replace water daily, and clean the containers. If you think the rabbit isn't drinking much, offer a bowl and a bottle -- some rabbits have a strong preference. If still your rabbit isn't drinking much, talk to your vet about spiking the water with pure apple juice -- this is safe for some rabbits, but not all rabbits.) Make sure the rabbit isn't living in a high-stress situation (which could lead to serious health problems in the long-run. Read up on how to care for rabbits and how to minimize their stress. See related questions below for details.)
