milky urine

[kimlou5288]

One or possible both of my guinea pigs have had milky urine the last day or two, I have googled this quick and it says that there calcium intake could be too high, should I be worried or just lower there calcium.
They both seem fine apart from this !

Milky urine is generally a physical reaction of their body. The bodie selects out the calcium which is too much.
But milky urine also means like you already said that there had been eated too much food which is rich of calcium.
Do you feed veg. which is rich of calcium like fennel or herbag (dry and fresh). Or hay which is rich of herbag?
The problem with the calcium is, that it can cause bladder stones.

As long as they're their normal selves, behaviour wise, eating wise, there's no blood in the urine and they don't appear to be in any discomfort, I'd just play around with their food and reduce their calcium intake a bit

Which foods are high in calcium which I should lower ? Which are the best foods which can be eaten daily ? Thanks for your help

Which foods are high in calcium which I should lower ?

Watch out for spinach and parsley - both tend to be piggy faves but are very high in calcium.

Which is low of calcium are these (for example):

cucumber
tomato
carrots
sweet pepper
parsnip
salad

What you should avoid (example):

herbag (dry and fresh) only as goodie
fennel

maybe someone has a list...
I have one but only in German.
