Hi, T Bag has had a URI for a while now and today I noticed that he had brown wee. I read that it could be due to them eating cardboard. I have been using card bedding and I have noticed him eating quite a lot of it. Doesn anyone know anything about this theory?

Thanks.
 
I doubt the cardboard is the culprit.If the urine is a rusty brown colour it could be blood.Keep an eye on this.
 
no I stuff loo rolls full of hay and have never had problems with their urine/droppings.
 
I haven't had that problem with any of my gp's from cardboard. I agree with MaryH - could be bladder stones. The urine might have small traces of blood in it.
