Reddish-orange urine in rabbits is often due to pigments from certain vegetables or plants in their diet, a process called porphyrinuria. It's usually harmless and not blood. However, true blood in urine would be a more consistent red or pink, and often indicates a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or other serious issues. If your rabbit is otherwise healthy and eating normally, it's likely dietary. If you notice any signs of pain, straining to urinate, lethargy, or loss of appetite, then a vet visit is warranted. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
