i found blood in the cage whilst changing the bedding. there is quite alot aswell. it does seem to be in the areas where there is wee.

i got ches and maisie out and had them on my knee one at a time and fed them cucumber to make them wee. maisie wee'd clear but ches didn't wee at all. he never does on my knee though. he is weeing though as i put them in the cage and checked later on and there was wee's from both of them (i know who's wee is who's!)

the strange thing is that neither of them seem ill or anything. there have been no sounds as though they are in pain and they are both eating as normal.

i have checked them over and i can't find anything. neither has any blood staining around their genital area either. :{

they haven't eaten anything that could stain their urine and it's not from the newspaper either. the only thing that has been different is they have had brown paper bags to play with.

any ideas?
 
no idea I'm afraid but i have seen a few posts over the years the same as this. Mystery blood. Very odd. Bumping up for you as Pebble may be online later with a better explanation :-) x
 
Sorry to hear about your worry.

It would probably be a good idea to keep both piggies out until they have wee'd. White kitchen roll is a good one to put them on and hopefully they will eventually wee.

Also watch closely for any signs of discomfort or straining i.e. arching their back, when they wee.

Let us know how things go.
 
sorry, i managed to post this thread twice. the other one has more details and updates.
