I've just noticed that there is orange on the shavings, I'm guessing it's someone's wee!
Is this normal?
They are both healthy like :)
 
If you fed them carrots that could cause the colour of their wee to change. My Chubby pig wee'd pink two days ago as I had fed them beetroot just before. It can be quite alarming!

I've had that before from my own girls. A couple if times when they have eaten carrot, when Ena was a tiny baby and randomly when the pee has had chance to stand. Stop worrying :)

I worry to much, thats what my mum says lol!
Should I stop the carrot or leave them with it?
 
So they have had carrot yesterday or today? If you pop her in a box with a white towel then wait for her to wee you will get a better idea of the colour.

I wouldn't stop the carrot, maybe give it 2-3 times a week instead though as too much is supposed to be bad for them :) Mind you Poppy (RIP) used to demand carrot every day, I never saw any orange wee & she lived until she was 7 :)
