Hello, this is my first post here. I am an owner of two female guinea pigs and recently they’ve been having suspicious looking urine.
I am not quite sure if it’s blood or not but I am really worried because I want to be able to make sure they’re okay but I don’t know what to do.
Could you tell me if this (their urine) should be a concern or not? I am not quite sure which one of them it is. Their other urine puddles are fine so it has me confused.
I am so so so worried.

Blood will turn brown when it dries.
It’s also possible any pink/red urine may be porphyrines rather than blood. Porphyrines are common at the start of infection.
The best thing if you worried is to see a vet.
