Hey all... Cindy is inside during the day but i have her on the floor in a C+C cage when she isnt in her house... she is peeing and pooping lots but today i noticed white stuff in the middle of her wee.

Looks like calcium/mineral deposits. It is in their pee and dries to look like that. Run a finger over it (it's ok, it's dry!) and see if it feels gritty or smooth. If it's smooth just keep an eye out, if it feels gritty then you need to re-adjust their diet. Too much excess calcium can cause bladder stones. The usual food culprits are things like too much parsley and spinach (among others).

The best advice is on GL at http://www.guinealynx.com/polycitra.html. If you look at the very bottom it has charts showing which veggies have the best ratios of vitamins and minerals. There is also a good chart on the Guinea Pig Cages forum that tells you more about it - http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum...cavys-diet-read-me-nutrition-charts-info.html
 
its sort of smooth... should i adjust their diets anyway just incase? There is some in the rabbit cage too (wilson is in there) lol

Thanks
