Hi there, so I have been noticing for a few days now [since i have been using pet pads in stripes cage] that the pads are a rusty brown where he peed. Is this normal? I need to try and find a spot fresh when it happens to seei f its coming out that way or oxidizing over time? any one else go through this?

thank you!
 
I don't know about brown, but usually Gilbert's pee dries white or yellow. I don't know much about this, and most people in UK are sleeping. So you'll probably get better advice in the morning :))
 
oh man I keep doing searches on internet and thinking a uti, I just took him to the vet for mites and now this started a few days ago. Stripes was just apoted 2 weeks ago from craigslist. May have to take him in again..I'm from united states so its only 10:20 p.m. :)
 
Is he squeaking when peeing? usually they'll squeak in pain with an UTI (i say usually...... piggies are very good at hiding illnesses)!

I'm sorry i'm at work and need to go out...... have a read of the info link on urine i posted :)
 
thank you for the link my hubby thinks its the meds hes on for mites, he was fine until he started those? He makes no noises when peeing hes a quite guy, other wise happy and popcorning and eating/drinking well
 
Just keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't make sounds when peeing. Hopefully when the meds are over, his pee will be back to normal. If not, then you can reconsider what you should do from there.
 
oh bless him could be the meds. Bertie does lovely orange wees when he eats carrots!
