We have had Baby since she was 6 wks old. We keep her inside the house. We let her out of the cage frequently for exersice. For the first 4 months, everything was great. She only pooped when in her cage and only peed in her special potty box. About 2 weeks ago she started pooping outside of the cage as soon as we let her out, about a week ago she also started peeing on our rug. So we have had to keep her in her cage much more then we would like to. Even when she is in her cage she does not always pee in her potty box like before. I have notice that some times her pee is a reddish orange color, sometimes there is a milky color to her pee and sometiems it is normal pee color. Should I be concerned? Will she eventually go back to just doing her thing in the cage and not all over the house?

Dear Cathy,
Normal rabbit urine can vary in colour exactly as you describe. If Baby's behaviour was normal I would say just keep an eye on her, however given that she is behaving differently there may be some significance to the change in urine. The red colour you see may be normal pigment or it could be due to blood.
The easiest way to differentiate between the two is to collect a sample of urine and take it to your vet with Baby for him to examine her and analyse the urine.
Best wishes
