A bright orange or reddish urine color in rabbits is frequently due to pigments from certain foods like carrots or dandelions, or it can be a sign of dehydration. It's often harmless, however, it's important to distinguish it from blood in the urine, which would be a serious concern. Observe your rabbit's behavior – if they are eating, drinking, and acting normally, it's likely dietary. If you notice straining, pain, lethargy, or loss of appetite, then it warrants immediate veterinary attention. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
