White pee

[C&C <3]

I recently noticed that, during playtime, one of my Guineas peed a white liquid, it wasn’t powdery or sludgey like it would if it were too much calcium I think but I’m not a professional so I don’t know, can anyone help me? They are currently 5 years old

Too much Calcium. Try lay off high in Calcium veg for a couple of days. Sometimes when you give a lot that contain high Calcium levels then it can take a while to absorb. Give them cucumber and lettuce till you see a improvement in there urine. :-)

I've just looked in the Guinea Pig Guides, at the top of the page, on the green bar, but can't find specifically what I know I've seen before! Here is a link that might be useful to you though: Long Term Balanced General And Special Needs Guinea Pig Diets

Another good place to look is on Guinea Lynx website, the link for their food charts is Guinea Lynx :: Nutrition Charts

Yes dark Greens such as Spinach, kale, parsley, broccoli, carrots contain calcium but also contain vitamin B,C,D,E, Timothy hay is low in calcium make sure your hay don't have the ingredient alfalfa as it contains high levels of calcium. Same with your pellet food. I know it's really hard sticking to the low calcium foods. I have just lost my guinea 14 months old on Saturday just gone due to bladder stones and he had white urine frequently. If you give lettuce make sure it's leafy lettuce and not iceberg lettuce.
