Unhappy How concerning is this color of urine?

It's brighter orange in person, and exaggerated a bit because the paper towel absorbed it all instead of the sand. Probably going to take her to a vet tomorrow but wondering if anyone has seen this color before? Thanks so much I'm super worried about her.

I know it's a couple of days since your post, but oh well.

If your hamster is otherwise showing no issues, then it's likely not a problem. If the food your hammy eats has dyes in it, or has a strong natural colouring, like beetroot, that can change the colour of the urine.

My hammy pees in his nest, annoyingly, and sometimes when he pees in a certain spot several times, and it sits for a while, it can have result in a brownish-orange colour. Of course, if you are worried, there's no harm in going to the vet for a checkup.

Hi buddy ! It seems like you're worried about your hammy. I've kept 7 hamsters and I know this is nothing to worry about until his behavior changes !
Hamster pee color can vary and that wont be an issue unless its bloody color . It may pee yellow , whitish , orange or even brown ,these colors are absolutely normal and it sometimes depends on the water consumption and the particular food items.
You may consult vet but in my opinion its totally normal.
