Hi, I am new to this. We got my granddaughter a rabbit for her birthday in April from a very nice rabbit breeder in our town, any way....I have been taking care of \" Princess\" and I really have grown quite fond of her.... Spoiled her very much! She is a beauty. I don\'t know what kind she is but she is white and grey and it looks as though her lines were painted they are so straight. But on to the question. I don\'t know much about rabbits, but I have noticed Princess\'s \"pp\" urine! is quite strange looking. What color is it suppose to be to put it bluntly!? I clean her cage daily, and it is on my front porch out of the sun so she is quite comfortable and the cage is very airy and large. Upon changing the paper in the bottom it seems as though the color may have changed lately. Her droppings are the same but the \"liquid\" is somewhat different. Could it be from my husband \"getting attached\" and giving her a cabbage leaf every morning, is it normal, or do I need to take her to the local doc? Thanks for any help with \"Princess\" as she is a much beloved bunny of the most spoiled granddaughter in the world! Smile
Yes, the discoloration in her urine is probably from the red cabbage. Discontinue feeding it to her and give her more milder greens such as organic basil, cilantro, carrot tops, and parsley. For more information please read the House Rabbit Society\'s list of recommended vegtables and fruits.
Thanks very much. She does love her carrots. I will cut out her cabbage and watch for any change! Thanks again!
