(10 and 13 months.) my gf noticed there was a blood spot. did a doe ger her period or is somthing wrong. also they were all together in the same cage. we just seperated them so we can find out who it is. whats going on and wat should we do???

thanks alot i am just trying to figure it out.. we're new to the rabbit world. iv been giving them treats they are 16 percent protein and the food is 17 percent protein. should i cut down on the treats? i was going to get some diff food once i ran out of this stuff

You don't have to switch feeds. The color in the urine is excess proteins, that is whatever is more than the rabbit needs that day.

Have a good day!

yeah just like people will pass any excess vitamins they don't use in their urine so do rabbits... as long as the bun is eating and drinking and alert then there is nothing to worry about... Just means their food is plenty healthy enough for them
