Hi and welcome to the forum 
what type of bedding is your piggie on? could it be from that?
Are you in the UK if so i'd go to the vets in the morning as a precautionary measure
Meanwhile make sure your piggie is warm and comfortable, lots of water and perhaps bed them on towels or fleece so you can see if there's any more blood in urine. It could be an UTI which they will need meds to clear it up.
Healing wheeeeeeeeks for your piggie x>>x>>

Sometimes certain veg can discolour the urine like beetroot, carrots, etc. If not then I would take your piggie to the vets in case of blood in the urine.

Hi bmblx3 ... yes it could just be carrots that they have eaten staining the urine.
As has been said above, both carrots and especially beetroots can discolour piggy's urine.
Keep an eye on them and if it continues, and/or they seem in discomfort when passing urine or go off their food, then seek advice from a vet.
