I am just in the process of cleaning out my little boar and have put him in a large plastic box and he has just weed in the corner and its white,looks like milk!?In his cage his fleece is a dark brown so not really noticed before.Is this something to be worried about?thanks.x:...

No don't be worried - cloudy wee is fine!

NORMAL:
Urine may be clear to cloudy in color. Calcium compounds in the urine cause this cloudiness. Normal urine is not gritty in texture. Dried urine may leave powdery white calcium compounds. Very young guinea pigs often have an orange or brown tint to their urine. Urine sometimes changes to an orange color on standing (this may be the oxidation of porphyrins in the urine).

mine is the same if they wee on me it looks normal but every now and again its like milk

Milky wee means that excess calcium has been excreted. That is perfectly normal. The deposit should dry powdery. Only worry if the deposit contains grit.
