Is it defiantly not from the substrate you bought? I occasionally come across random coloured flakes in the shavings I buy from PaH.
I wouldn't think it would be blood or wee if it's that colour - I'm not sure what our more experienced members think?

Dandelion leaf/root, beet root additives, and raspberry leaf in nugget foods, and some other food sources I can't remember at the moment, can cause discolouration of the urine. It shouldn't be a difficulty or problem at all.

I do give them forage so it may be something in that is doing something to the colour |

What have they been eating recently? Have they been drinking less than normal?

deguconvert is probably right - Dave the chinchilla used to scare me with the same thing regularly. Any veg with beta carotine can also change urine colour. Vitamins B2 & C also. Found this deguworld.proboards.com/thread/8790, might help |

Bark can discolour wee quite dramatically.

Doesn't look like blood to me – too orange and too much all the same color. Blood in urine more likely causes bright red streaks and dries brown.
