Noticing white in your rabbit's urine can indeed be concerning, but it's not always a sign of a serious issue. Rabbits have a unique way of processing calcium, and sometimes they excrete it in their urine, which can appear white or cloudy. This is generally normal for them.

To ensure your rabbit stays healthy, it's crucial to provide a balanced diet. Their diet should primarily consist of hay, with some fresh vegetables and a small amount of pellets. Be mindful of calcium-rich foods like alfalfa hay or certain vegetables, as excessive calcium intake can lead to urinary problems.

If you observe the white substance in the urine along with other symptoms, such as changes in behavior or appetite, or if the urine appears thick or gritty, it would be wise to monitor your rabbit more closely. In such cases, adjusting their diet or consulting a veterinarian for further advice could be beneficial.

For now, keep an eye on your rabbit's overall health and behavior. If the white substance in the urine persists or if you notice any other changes, seeking further guidance from a veterinarian would be a good step. If you have any more questions or need additional information, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
