So one of my rabbits (I think its polly) is peeing in spots. I don't know how rabbits pee really but I'm posting a pic with it. They're being bonded also and her diet is probably changing with the veggies I added.

I suppose it's possible, Bandit has only peed on the floor a couple of times, but when he has it's always been in a pool. Maybe there just wasn't a lot in there? If it continues to worry you though there's no harm in a vet check for it.
 
I just want to know if its important for me to do BC with school starting idk if I could pay for it.
 
In a word, no. The pee looks totally normal. This page has a beautiful illustration of the range of different colors and consistencies of normal rabbit urine:

However, it is good of you to pick up on the slight change in behavior (peeing habits). Sometimes the best way to see a problem before it becomes serious is to note the behavioral change because those are more sensitive measures of something being wrong. IF this were a bunny not going through something stressful and territory-related (bonding) and it were all her pee or for several days in a row, it might be worth taking her to the vet. Or, if she had a history of UTIs it might be worth checking out. For a bunny being bonded, I assume otherwise young (<8years) and healthy, peeing outside the box is expected.
 
OK thank you! If it persists beyond the bonding I will take her to the vet. Can utis be fatal?
 
I don't have anything to add but wanted to thank TH for the link :). FG I hope everything works out for your buns.
 
Is it everywhere? Because that just looks like it could be a sloppy bunny at the water bowl.
