What does it mean when a bunny urinates orange?

Answer 1

My rabbit's pee is dense and orange, I was really worried and I took her to the vet. The vet told me that as long as the rabbit eats and doesn't seem to have problems it is fine...

I'm still not sure, is it normal for that to happen? Please give sources...

Answer 2

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.

That is completely normal rabbit pee, Rabbit's can pee pretty much every color of the rainbow, Red pee too so don't worry.
