It is very unlikely that there is something wrong with your rabbit. Actually, buns pee orange/red for little reason. It could be because of the winter, something in the food or, at times, it's just a color. Even when you feed two buns the same food, one might pee orange while the other one doesn't.

Rabbits' urine varies in color from clear to yellow to brown to bright red. This is usually not a cause for alarm unless there are additional signs, such as sitting and straining to urinate, loss of appetite or a temperature. When you see red urine, don't panic; just keep your eyes open for other signs that may indicate a problem.

The red color will usually be gone in a day or two but can last for a much longer time. Actual blood in the urine would look like urine with red specks. If you're in doubt, don't risk your bunny's health -- have your vet test for blood in the urine.

You can have 20 different rabbits in your barn and feed them all the same things. One rabbits pee could be a creamy yellow and the others a bright orange. It is just the different pigmentation factors in each individual animals kidney's.
