  Thanks for reaching out about Caramel. Urine consistency can change depending on hydration status and other factors. This is a very young rabbit to consider excess calcium in the diet affecting the urine but keep green vegetables to a minimum. Hormones can also change the consistency of the urine and she might be old enough for initial estrogen levels. Monitor hydration and try to encourage water intake. If the problem persists, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess for an urinary tract infection.
  Good luck.

  Hello there! Rabbit urine is commonly milky white in color as it contains a high concentration of minerals, such as calcium (which is white). It will sometimes also change color based on what Kiwi eats - for example, it might be orange if she eats a lot of sweet potato. I hope this helps!
