White Discharge

[Maddykins]

I've just noticed some patches of white discharge on the fleece in my boars' cage. They definitely have only came to be over the last few hours or so. There are just a few patches, quite thick, dry, in places next to poops where they normally wee...I've seen people post about having too much calcium resulting in white urine, is that what it is? What does 'boar glue' look like, is it very distinctive as opposed to the white urine? Not sure exactly what it is. Both pigs see fine, pooing as normal and eating their veggies and wheeking happily as usual. Should I be worried?

It sounds like it is just excess calcium they get rid of through urine. I find white patches with mine too.

Perfectly normal like piggyfan said

Just a quick link for you to read up on as others have said deposits are normal http://www.guinealynx.info/normal.html

Thanks for all the help. So I don't need to worry about toning down the amount of calcium in their diet? I'm trying to get them to start eating less pellets though as I've noticed the pellets I'm feeding them (Science Selective) have quite a lot of calcium in. They love them so much though and wheek endlessly if the bowl doesn't have any left!
