Pink sawdust...

[kassidylangiano]

Okay so I may be panicking for no reason or it's something serious.

Cleaning Ralphy out as I am typing and I noticed his sawdust from his litter box is almost red....

Could it be his pink litter box that's causing that mixed with his pee?

Or could it be that I gave him two raspberries yesterday?

I am freaking out.

But he peed on my bed last night after is berries and it was normal colour when I was cleaning it up... So I don't know what it could be?

I use a lemon sawdust in his house and the other area he pees wasn't red at all so I'm hoping it the litter box but want to be sure... I checked his bun area and no redness at all.

Help me I'm a mess!

Rabbits can sometimes have very orange or pinkish red pee and be totally normal.
So if his pee last night was notally normal then you're find Blood in the urine will look a bit different.
But if hes litter trained why are you using sawdust in his house? Litter should only be in the litter box. The more litter elsewhere the more likely they are to go potty elsewhere, and especially if using shavings/sawdust the more likely respiratory issues are to arise.

Really? I didn't know that...
What should I line his house with? News paper? Or? It's a plastic bottom?

And thank god I was totally worrying about him!

if hes not a digger or chewer you can use blankets, towels, fleece, carpet, etc. Otherwise newspaper would be okay. I use textured ceramic tile as the floor in mine - super easy to clean and non-slippy.

Ahh thank you! I can get ahold of carpet so i might use that with a blanket!

Thank you!

I use nothing as my bun prefers laying on the plastic floor of his cage.
