We are working on securing the reprint rights to “Red Urine: Blood or Plant Pigment?” by Sandi Ackerman and Dr Debora Deeb DVM.
In summary, If your bunny’s diet is high in beta carotene from spinach, carrots, etc.) or red berries (strawberries, raspberries, cherries, etc.), your rabbit’s pee may become a red color.
In The Meantime:
- Retrieve a web archive of “Red Urine: Blood or Plant Pigment?” from The Wayback Machine.
- Read Pet Coache’s Red Urine article.
- Read WabbitWiki’s Urine resources page.

Our Think Tank
The Rabbit.org Think Tank is a collaborative author credit used when an article reflects shared expertise rather than a single voice. Contributors—educators, behaviorists, and experienced rescuers—publish evidence-based guides on house rabbit care: health and wellness, safe diet and nutrition, indoor housing, litter training, enrichment, behavior & bonding, spay/neuter, adoption prep, and RHDV2 updates. We synthesize research with real-world rescue experience, cite primary sources, and update articles regularly so guardians can make informed, welfare-first decisions.
