Rabbits need calcium in their diet just like the rest of us, but they don't need very much of it (especially grown adults).
When rabbits have too much calcium in their bodies, they get rid of it in their urine. Sometimes, a rabbit's urine looks a little cloudy and/or leaves a white powder residue after its dried -- this is a normal way for rabbits to excrete their excess calcium.
However, if the urine is thick, the consistency of toothpaste, and the colour of mustard (dark yellow), then your rabbit has "urine sludge" and needs to see a vet with experience and knowledge in how to treat rabbits. Urine sludge can lead to serious health complications.
If you see your rabbit straining to urinate, and not urinating successfully, this can also be a sign of urine sludge, or bladder stones (another consequence of too much calcium in the rabbit's body), and the rabbit should see the vet.
If a rabbit has problems with calcium, it might be related to a calcium-rich diet, or it may be genetic -- either way, the rabbit needs professional help. See the related questions below for more help about rabbit health and medical care.

What if you give a rabbit candy?
Rabbits SHOULD NOT be given any candies or any unnatural processed foods, this can damage their health. You instead should go to your local pet supply store and look for healthy rabbit treats to give to your rabbit when he/she pleases you. For the best of choices, look for treats that do not contain any of these things: - Artificial colors - Artificial flavors - Sugars - High in fats What I strongly recommend, is that you give your rabbit calcium rich leafy greens and roots ( carrots for example ) as a good treat for your rabbit to keep them in the best of health. And remember not to eat so much treats yourself ;)
