Pitch&Riddick
Junior Guinea Pig
I've noticed the shaving in my piggies cage near the litterbox has been pink sometimes. I've been reading a few of the threads and some owners have mentioned pinkish or red urine coming from their guinea pigs. I've seen some areas with the shavings pink and I assumed that it was just a coloration thing in the production of the shavings, but now I'm a little worried. I've switched to a fleece blanket but I white, soft bedding material in the litter box. I think that's the reason for the white substance on Pitch's gentiles. I noticed it and tried holding him on his back so I could get a better look but he bit my thumb really hard and drew a bit of blood. I don't blame him, I'd bite someone too if they were doing that. I washed my hands after and left him alone for the rest of the night. When I get home from school I'll try and check again, but I want to see what experienced guinea pig owners can tell me about it all before I let myself panic.
I had a 2x2 before and recently moved them into the cage my dog had, which is 2x3. Its a temp cage until my mother and I can get a 2x4 or a 3x3 or a 2x5, but they seem to be fighting less. They're also in the living room now
