There is no special food you should feed your rabbit if its urine is orangey-brown: either your rabbit is sick, or it isn't, but you should continue to feed it the normal healthy diet.
More information:
No matter what is wrong with your rabbit, you should always let it eat because rabbits can't safely fast like dogs, cats, and humans can. Fasting and other disruptions in normal diet is dangerous for rabbits and can make them very sick! Adult rabbits should eat lots and lots and lots of hay every day, some pellets, some dark leafy greens, and water.
Healthy rabbit pee can range in colour from clear, to light yellow, to bright orangey-red, to dark rusty brownish-red ... really a wide variety of colours! The reasons the colour changes is based on what food they've eaten recently, the weather, if they're stressed out, if they're dehydrated, etc. No matter the reason, if the rabbit is healthy, the colour will change soon. Colourful urine does not necessarily indicate blood.
If you're concerned about your rabbit's health (no matter the reason), look for common signs of ill-health. (See the related question below for details.) If you see any signs of sickness, bring the rabbit to a vet. If the rabbit seems perfectly healthy, then make a note of whatever it is that worried you, and mention it at your next regular vet check-up.
If you're concerned about the colour of your rabbit's urine:
- Read up on how to care for rabbits -- are you keeping your rabbit in a stressful situation? This can lead to colourful urine in the short-run, but serious health problems in the long-run.
- Make sure your rabbit is drinking tons of water, especially if it's warm (the weather, that is). Replace the water daily and wash out the dishes. Offer water in a bottle and a bowl, so the rabbit can choose (some rabbits have strong preferences). Serve the rabbit's daily salad of dark leafy greens really dripping and soaked in water. Talk to your vet about adding a tiny bit of pure apple juice to the rabbit's water (safe for many rabbits, but your vet knows your rabbit personally and can tell you for sure) -- this encourages the rabbit to drink, but you might have to reduce how many treats you offer the bunny as a result.
- To find out if the colour is blood, remove the litter material and replace it with an old white hand towel. After the rabbit pees, look at the towel. If the colour is spread everywhere the wetness is, then it's not blood, it's just coloured urine; but if the colour is apparent in splotches or distinct patches amidst the wetness, that's a sign of blood and an emergency: get the rabbit to the vet asap!

What does it mean when a bunny urinates orange?
Rabbit urine can vary widely in colour from pale yellow, to orange, to bright orangey-red, to dark rusty red -- this is normal and natural. It's a simple internal reaction to the foods they're eating, how much water they're drinking, and/or hormone and stress levels. However, orange or red urine can also be a sign of blood in the urine. If your rabbit has bloody urine, it requires veterinary attention as soon as possible, from a special "rabbit-savvy" vet. Bloody urine could be caused by ovarian cancer, a serious infection, a kidney stone, an injury, or something else. If you aren't sure if your rabbit's orange urine is from blood, have it pee on a white towel. (Remove the litter from the litter box and put in the towel instead.) Wait for the towel to try. If the orange colour is spread evenly across where the pee soaked the towel, that means there's no blood. If the orange colour appears in spots on the towel, that's blood.
Does rabbit pee cause cancer?
No
I have two bunnies but the other day one of them started to pee and when i picked the bunny i saw that in the pee there was blood. This had never happend befor is this normal?
It's not normal for a rabbit to have blood in its pee. There might be lots of reasons why your rabbit has blood in its pee: urinary tract infection, ovarian cancer, or an injury (maybe the other rabbit hurt him somehow down there), or something else.Sometimes rabbits have orange, brown, or red-coloured urine, and it doesn't mean there's any blood. Rabbit urine can range in colour for many reasons, like dehydration (always make sure rabbits have access to water changed fresh every day; if the rabbit isn't drinking, that's a problem), or something stressful happening to the rabbit, or different foods the rabbit eats (like if you feed it too many carrots), etc.If your rabbit has bright or dark-coloured urine, you should look for other signs of ill-health in your bunny, and learn about how to care for rabbits to make sure you're doing the right things.If you think the rabbit might be sick (including possible blood in the urine), the best thing to do is go to a veterinary doctor who has experience and knowledge treating rabbits. See the related questions below for details.
