No, rabbits don't menstruate or bleed when they're in heat. There's no healthy reason for a rabbit to bleed! If a rabbit is bleeding from its genitals, it could have an infection, or an injury, or perhaps a tumour, or maybe something else -- the point is: something is very wrong! If your rabbit is bleeding from the genitals, it needs attention from a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits as soon as possible.

Rabbit urine can sometimes look red for healthy reasons, and it doesn't mean there's any blood. The vet can tell you whether your rabbit's urine is bloody or not. Another way to tell is to put an old white towel where the rabbit pees: after it pees on the towel, look at it closely. If the red colour is all over where the wetness is, that's not blood, it's just pee; but if the redness occurs as blotches in the wetness, and some of the wetness isn't read at all, that could indicate blood and a serious problem!

No they do not. Canines are really the only animals that have this ability. A heifer will never bleed during her estrus period. If she does, there's something wrong. Note, however, that a heifer (cows too) will bleed a little bit a few days afterthey were in heat.

Do rabbits bleed?

Rabbits do not bleed naturally. Rabbits do not menstruate like people, so any blood should be a cause for concern.

However, if your bunny is bleeding from it's mouth, nose, ears or genitals or an open wound, then you should take it to a vet immediatly, as it could be very sick or hurt.
