DSC_0298.webpDSC_0299.webpDon't know how easy it is to see in the photos, but this is typical of the marks left by my 2 boys' pee. This is a pad under one of their favourite sleeping/hiding spots and had been in for 24 hours. They are just over a year old and their pee has always left white/beige/orangey marks since I got them as babies. I don't know whether I need to worry? I feed timothy hay, around 2 tablespoons of Burgess pellets each per day and usually pepper and cucumber. I rotate other veggies in addition to this, like gem lettuce, celery, carrot, cabbage, baby corn and give the occasional small bit of fruit as a treat. I don't live in a hard water area. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Hi! Sorry, I can't see the critical area. However, blood in the urine doesn't have the same specific weight as the urine and separates out when drying, usually as red/hot pink spots inside the puddle or - if there is a lot - as a red/hot pink ring around an orange or rusty pee puddle.

If in doubt, please see a vet during regular week time opening hours. This is not an emergency.

Thanks for the reply. I don't suspect there is any blood in it, I was wondering if calcium could be a problem or if this looks normal?
 
It looks like my boys pee, sometimes they have little white marks on their fleece that look like talc, it’s calcium being expelled, I found this mainly when they have parsley

Thanks for reply, this happens daily for my piggies, even if they haven't eaten anything high in calcium.
