Ok
https://www.sandiegorabbits.org/ - plus Georgia House Rabbit Society have extensive information published on rabbit care and behavior, also.
It's great to see you asking Qs about your rabbit's health! At a DVM appt. for our spayed girl who had a bladder stone and was peeing blood with her urine, the vet mentioned a client/patient who's sludge was so dang thick that the sludge could be scooped out with a spoon. One never wants their bun to have surgery for excessive amount of sludge.
You should post this on your own thread. Here is how to do that: https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/how-to-post-on-the-forum.92892/.I'm having a problem with my doe she's due yesterday and today she's hasn't build a nest nor give birth I'm worried she only lays around very clam not eating as much as she is to she only drink water
You are completely fine, welcome to the forum! Was the dad bigger than her? Has she been bred before? It is normal for rabbits to go a day over their due date, and I would not be concerned. Make sure you have a nesting box and plenty of timothy hay and water. I would also give her some newspaper for her to shred for when she starts building her nest. She will probably start to build her nest later today and then have the babies a few hours later. We would love to see pictures of the babies when she has them! Here is a link that should help: https://www.thesprucepets.com/pregnancy-in-rabbits-4171961.I am sorry I'm a new member I'll do just that but do you have no suggestions
I will certainly send the pictures but I'm living in Jamaica and I don't have hay we have pellets and various grass.You are completely fine, welcome to the forum! Was the dad bigger than her?

@shad2000, I would not be worried about the white rabbit pee, because rabbit pee dries white. If you do take her to the vet you will get answers, but I personally don't think it is bladder sludge and would not be concerned. I would still reduce or remove pellets and give her lots of timothy hay. I would add pineapple juice or apple juice to the water to make her drink more water and see how she is later.
She had a litter of 3 last year May from she had them I have been trying to breed her and it prove unsuccessful.I will certainly send the pictures but I'm living in Jamaica and I don't have hay we have pellets and various grass.
From the box I would recommend but if the can is Available use itShe never pees outside her litter box that’s why I’m a bit worried, and thank you I’ll give that a try. Where do I get pineapple juice from? Can it be from a can?
Yes, it can be from a can. I normally get the generic brand from Aldi.She never pees outside her litter box that’s why I’m a bit worried, and thank you I’ll give that a try. Where do I get pineapple juice from? Can it be from a can?

Give her lots of grass to build a nest and don't stress her. Since she has had babies before she should be fine. I would check on her every 1-2 hours and see if she is building a nest.She had a litter of 3 last year May from she had them I have been trying to breed her and it prove unsuccessful.
Please check from the 24 of may 2019 and March 23,2020 how much month it is
I just went to feed her again she still not eating much but still no sign of nestingGive her lots of grass to build a nest and don't stress her. Since she has had babies before she should be fine. I would check on her every 1-2 hours and see if she is building a nest.
Sorry OP for spamming your thread!
I wouldn’t worry too much. Does she eat a lot of kale or spinach? Both of those can cause white looking urine due to the calcium in them and as @Mariam+Theo said, rabbit urine does dry pretty white looking. Pineapple juice can be given from a can if your worried but I’d make sure it’s pure juice, no additives or sugar. Only gives a small amount a day. I get that your worried because she doesn’t pee out of her litterbox but it might be because she smelled a strong smell (like a new person) and had to mark the area.She never pees outside her litter box that’s why I’m a bit worried, and thank you I’ll give that a try.

I just went to check on

You need to post this on a new thread because you are spamming shad2000's thread. More people will be able to help you there.Getting impatient
If your really worried, it might be best to take her to the vet. You will get some reassurance and if there is a problem they will treat it for you. Does she eat kale or spinach often?
Is that fresh? If so I would be concerned, and call the vet. Give her lots of water and hay. I found this link that might help: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/white-urine-2/.View attachment 45900
Okay, so she peed again in front of me this time and it’s white!•_•
