Junior Guinea Pig
Hi all, I recently gave my Guinea pigs some forage with dried beetroot flakes
Tonight when cleaning the cage I noticed some drops of red in two places. No piggie is off their food/losing weight or squealing in pain so I haven’t suspected any urinary issues but the red drops are scaring me.
I did try wetting some of the dried beetroot (incase someone peed on some beetroot lying on the ground) but the colour isn’t as concentrated as what’s on the fleece
I haven’t seen any other red drops but I’ll keep my eyes peeled now. Would it be a good idea to isolate the piggies and see if anyone is peeing blood?
If it helps I have two sows and one neutered boar in the cage
Definitely stopping the beetroot for now though!
Thanks for reading!
