My DS described it like custard (not the consistency just the colour) is this a too much calcium thing? Their current diet is pellets (though they are not very interested!) and then 1 cup of mixed spring greens, pepper and cucumber each day. We have just introduced fresh grass and of course they have tons of hay :)
 
Usually white in the pee would be calcium.

I THINK grass counts towards their one cup of food.

Let me tag @helen105281 for you, she can probably advise you.
 
A pee can be milky when it first comes out. If there is excessive calcium you will notice white chalky patches when the pee dries.

Def got those round the edges of the hutch. And yes the grass was in the 1 cup not in addition too. Never seen anything that eats so fast though, they are such hungry girls!
 
the colour of a calcium pee depends on how discoloured/oxidated or concentrated the urine is. It can be tinged with yellow.
