Never seen blue snow, sounds kinda weird, and if a rabbit is causing it, might be scared to eat it to.

European buckthorn. Apparently a chemical passes through them with the urine and turns blue when exposed to sunlight.
I have seen blue-green urine from deer too. I believe that is from eating cedar.

Thanks Jamie,  

I knew there had to be an interesting scientific explanation.

Your mojo arrow was riding at my side.

I'll be buggered. I saw that in Ontario when I lived there over 40 years ago and although I knew it was bunny pee I had no idea why it was blue. And I recall there being buckthorn in the area.

Thanks Ishiwannabe. Where did you learn that little gem???

I've seen that too a few years back, there was blue snow right next to a row of evergreens that were stripped bare by deer. They were so hungry they resorted to eating this type of vegetation, poor buggers.   :(

I thought they were drinking windshield washer fluid.   :biglaugh:  

It was amazing how much blue snow there was in the rabbit tracks. I thought it had something to do with mating.

My 1st thought was someone was trying the carpenters blue chalk dust on their fletchings in order that they might easier find their arrows after missed shots at said bunny rabbit...lol

God bless,Mudd
