Worried Now.....

[soo's piggies]

I've been giving my pigs king alfalfa hay since they were two mths old they are now 6 mths old and have read this hay is too high in calcium so today I bought Woodlands Timothy , one of my piggies has white urine ( not gritty) could I have harmed them ?

I believe it is okay to feed till 6 months so they should be fine and my guinea pigs per whit urine all the time and they are 1, 4 and 6 years old

I think it is pretty common to have white matter come out of their urine from time to time, my piggies are 3ish and are fed on timothy hay and sometimes have the white stuff, I wouldn't worry about it unless it's a lot and it's gritty. Alfalfa hay is ok to feed babies, I'm not sure up until what age, but considering your little ones are now 6 months or so I would switch them to different hay now, but don't panic, I'm sure it hasn't done them any harm thus far.
