How do you work out if there is an issue with one of piggies? I habe 1 boar and 3 sows, lately their cage (c&c indoors fleece) is stinking. Its really odd as if i smell poo or the fleece it doesnt overly smell like what we can standing around the cage but do think it is an odour from urine more than the poo. Nothing has changed in diet etc but is quite a lot.of white deposits on the fleece..wondering if one may have a uti or something.. looking at all of them all their genitals etc look okay. Fudge looked a little sticky but shes been in heat, so cant identify if/who it can be. Fudge does have vrry regular heat cycles compared to the others so wonder if maybe something up that I'm not familiar or aware of..any ideas from you more experienced owners for something to look for..they seem totally fine other than the smell really so hard to know what to spot x

It might be that they are a little dehydrated or they are eating less or more of something
 
Yeah dont think dehydrated they drink pretty well, but maybe they like a certain somwthing than the other. Just not sure how to identify it/who x

Yea I have a bit of smelly pee too but my vet said that it might be their vegetables. We didn’t touch on the topic much becuase I went on for a piggie with a URI
 
Nothing has changed veg wise which is why I'm a bit baffled. Ill see how we go and if still an issue ill have a word with the vet thanks x
