Hello there! Rabbit urine can be a rainbow of colors and still be normal. Rabbits excrete a large amount of minerals in their urine, like calcium, which can be whitish in color. Their urine also changes color based on what they eat - for example, a rabbit that eats a lot of carrot or sweet potato in a day will have dark orange colored urine. Milky white urine is probably nothing to worry about, but if Blacky is exhibiting any other symptoms (like anorexia or diarrhea), or you see any mucous-like substances or red streaking (potentially blood) in the urine, be sure to visit your vet right away. I hope this helps, and good luck with Blacky!

    Thanks for reaching out about Caramel. Urine consistency can change depending on hydration status and other factors. This is a very young rabbit to consider excess calcium in the diet affecting the urine but keep green vegetables to a minimum. Hormones can also change the consistency of the urine and she might be old enough for initial estrogen levels. Monitor hydration and try to encourage water intake. If the problem persists, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess for an urinary tract infection. Good luck.

    Hello there! Rabbit urine is commonly milky white in color as it contains a high concentration of minerals, such as calcium (which is white). It will sometimes also change color based on what Kiwi eats - for example, it might be orange if she eats a lot of sweet potato. I hope this helps!
