Reddish urine in rabbits can be alarming for owners, but it's not always indicative of blood. It can be caused by pigments from certain vegetables (like carrots, spinach) or hay. However, it can also be a sign of a serious urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or kidney issues. If your rabbit is otherwise acting normally, you can monitor for a day, but if you notice any other symptoms like straining to urinate, lethargy, loss of appetite, or if the reddish color persists, it's essential to see a vet. A vet can differentiate between diet-induced coloration and a medical problem. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
