Is it normal? I havent noticed it before but one of the trio did a white wee today, I dont know if it was stress as they didnt seem to like the play pen we built for them so we could clean them out, When one of them did it all 3 were huggled in the corner and Dobbie was frantically biting the bars, they are all happy again now they are back in there cage.

I dont know if its normal, stress or something I need to get checked out, I dont want to bother a vet if its normal :red
 
It's quite normal. Just calcium. Sometimes it's more noticeable when the wee dries and looks chalky. :)
 
Just keep a casual eye out for any traces of hard grit in any white powdery calcium patches - those are crystals and can indicate the presence of bladder sludge or the beginnings of bladder stones, but don't go obsessive about it!

Powdery white patches in themselves are nothing to worry about; it's the normal way excreting any not needed calcium. An interesting variation to that is when a piggy pees over some of its poos, so they start looking "mouldy" with speckles of white once they dry up!
 
Thank you, I will keep an eye on them, I havent seen any mouldy looking poos yet, who thought something so cute could be so skanky:))
 
Pmsl its not the first time I have discussed wee and poo online, my human babies have been the topic of that conversation many times in there first months lol. Maybe I'm the skanky one? :))
