| Plant pigments: In healthy rabbits, the red color of urine can be due to porphyrins and other plant pigments that have not all been identified. Sometimes diets with large amounts of plants high in beta-carotene, such as carrots and spinach, can cause the reddish discoloration. Ingestion of pine or fur needles has resulted in red urine as well. The discoloration is unpredictable: two rabbits may be on the identical diet, and one may have red urine, and the other not. Generally, the changes in urine color caused by diet are intermittent and only last 2-3 days. Antibiotics: The administration of some antibiotics may increase the levels of pigments in the urine. Stress: Some have suggested that stress or even a change of season may result in reddish discolored urine in some rabbits. Dehydration: Dehydration will concentrate the urine, causing it to become darker in color and intensifying any pigmentation that is present. Blood: If the red coloration is due to hematuria (the presence of blood in the urine), it is a sign of disease in the urinary tract, such as: Kidney or bladder infection Kidney or bladder stones Kidney or bladder cancer Bladder polyps ******************************************************************************************************** Red/Orange Urine - From Welsh's Honey Buns site: What is it? - Often mistaken for blood, the urine will look uniformly red / rust colored. This should not be confused with obvious blood / ribbons of blood and bleeding in the urine. Symptoms - bright orange rust colored urine How do they get it? - It's caused by a pigment in the urine from something the've eaten. It could be veggies (carrots), long flat bladed grass, dandelions and other things. Nothing to worry about. Treatment - There's nothing to worry about. It's normal and will be like that every time they eat that certain food. Totally normal. |

| Malocclusion |
Malocclusion
is when the bottom teeth grow over the
top teeth. Can be genetic and not a
trait you want to pass along through
breeding. It disables the bunny from
properly eating if left unchecked. An
experienced vet would have to trim
these teeth down every few weeks for
the rest of the bunnies llife.
