I was just giving the pigs a clean and I have noticed that in recent weeks the Peter/Jemima pairing has been drinking a lot more water and weeing a lot more. Anyway 3 days ago they were cleaned and I did them again today. They have a hutch with fleece liner in the "outdoor" part and wood shavings/hay in their "indoor" sleeping part. So I lifted a lot of hay out to start chucking it all in the bin and in one very very wet corner (surprised at how wet it is compared to normal) were some poo's which were apparently coated in white hair. At first I thought it was the start of mould so looked closer and it's not mould, it was like white guinea pig hair. I know it's Pete's poo's as Jemima's are always so small in comparison to his. I tried having a look on guinea lynx but that's virtually impossible to use from a symptom point of view unless you know what it might be a symptom of.

Anyone experienced anything like this at all?
