Default Re: Very Dark Urine-is it something to worry about?

Hamster urine is normally a very concentrated sort of thick, opaque fluid which can go browing when exposed to the air and mixed with shavings etc. This is normal as they are desert animals and have efficient kidneys.
If it seems bloodstained though or smells abnormally bad he could have a urine infection but they usually seem quite unwell with this. Sounds like he is OK if nothing has changed.
