I cleaned the pigs out today and when i was putting the boys back in their cage, I noticed a couple of brown patches on the towell like pee. I've never noticed this in our previous boy piggies so we're a bit worried that it's something bad as they're so young (10 weeks). Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
Many thanks.
 
Hi - I am. I have moved your post to the health and Illness thread where it will likely get more views.

Was this old or new pee? Old pee can oxidise and look brownish. Or have the piggies eaten anything to discolour their pee? If it is fresh pee and continues to look red or there are any other symptoms (increased water consumption, squeaking when weeing) then I would get them vet checked.

Thanks, they are not squeaking when the pee and it was new pee as I had only just put them out on a clean towell. They aren't drinking more water. We are taking all the pigs to the vets before we put them out so will ask then but if I notice anything worse, we'll take them sooner.
