Calcium

[Tiamolly123]

I picked up Tia Yesterday, & see she had white pee. I only saw it because I was going to put her in the cage & she was midway between her having a cuddle & her home, I know it is excess Calcium but how do you, cure lt & is it bad for her health, which it probably is?

What is her diet like? Try cutting down on high calcium veg and limit the nuggets to one tablespoon a day

The odd one isn’t a problem - it’s a normal way for then to excrete excess calcium. If you see them more often and/or they become gritty, then do take a look at the diet as something may have become unbalanced (filter drinking water, keep pellets limited and ensure high calcium veg isn’t fed often more) and see a vet

One of them is staining the fleece, apart from Tia I assume the rest are doing it. The 3 of them have 1 & 1/2 lettuce leaf, 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 thin slices of cucumber, 2 thin slices of pepper & a small amount of baby leaf salad, & a piece of celery about 3 / 4 of an inch long.
I’m cutting them down, a reduction every couple of days.
They don’t have any pellets.

Do you filer their drinking water? Unfiltered tap water especially in hard water areas contains a lot of calcium
