I would remove the beetroot from her food temporarily and see if it continues. If it's from the beetroot it should stop within a couple of days. If it doesn't go away she should see a vet.

It is quite common for dried beetroot or treats containing beetroot to colour the urine in this way. I've noticed it multiple times in hamsters and gerbils.
