Pink Pee

My bunny pees pink on occasion. I read this could be from too much calcium in the diet. I gave her cranberries a few times. Could this be what is doing it?

Certain veggies will cause pink (or red or orange) urine. Carrotsdefinitely make for colourful urine.

Hope that helps!

How old is she, and is she spayed?
Is the urine all pink throughout, or is the color in spots?
If it's throughout, it probably is caused by diet. If it is spotted, and especially if the bunny is not spayed, it is likely time to visit a vet.

The carotenioids in their food will change the color of their urine. Certain medications can lead to a change as well. Blood in the urine generally shows up as spots rather than an all-over color change. If you notice a sudden color change, think back to any recent diet additions and that's likely what's causing it. Also, many rabbit wood toys are dyed with vegetable dyes that will run when wet and if one gets near a pee puddle it can dye the urine too.
