A Urine Colour Question

[Chilli+5]

Hey everyone
So this afternoon when i was looking at my 2 female guinea pig's cage I saw a 2 patches of urine that are in a very light orange colour, somewhat peachy. Pretty sure it's not blood as it's dried as a light orange colour (nothing close to red). I've only been giving them romaine lettuce (cos lettuce) for the past few days so nothing new were given to them. They are not young guinea pigs though, one of them is around 2 years old and the other 1.5 years old (cause i have been reading lynx and they said orange pee is normal for young guinea pigs). They are active and nothing seems odd except the urine colour.
Anyone know if this colour is normal?

Thank you!

That's normal oxidization colour -(blood wee would be light pink. )- normal urine sometimes dries brown as well - that is also normal.

Thank you very much, as the wee dried off completely the colour turned even lighter - light whitish yellow. Just worried me a bit as it's the first time having such colour in their pee.

Perfectly normal as Tan as said above there is a little bit about it on Guinea Lynx http://www.guinealynx.info/normal.html

Welcome to the forum by the way If you could add your location, that would be great just means if we ever need to direct advice closer to your geographical location like vets etc... we can do. We can also tailor advice depending on which country you are located in

Hello and welcome to the forum OP :-)

Urine can come amd dry in different colours depending on what your piggies have been eating (raw beetroot, carrot or peppers). Usually you don't have to worry about any rusty colours and stains that have a rim in the same shade of colour. An orangey colour is very normal, as you will see.

If there is blood in the urine, you will either see some reddish dots in the centre or a reddish ring on the outside, depending on how much blood is in the pee. Please see a vet in this case (urinary tract infection or bladder stones).

It is good to establish a "normal" with your new piggies first, so you can spot what is not right later on.

Oh I've had them since they were a kid, It's just that I'm not so sure whether the light-orange pee is in the normal range (they usually have white pee).
Thanks anyway!
