Is white pee just a normal color? I feel that all of mine just have white pee without any problems. Even with filtered water and no pellets they all seem the have that white color. If I do give them pellets their pee gets extremely white. Is that normal? They used to have orange pee after it oxidizes, but I don’t see that anymore.
 
White pee is normal, Powdery deposits can also be normal - it’s the body’s normal way of excreting calcium. It’s if it’s gritty which is of most concern.
However it’s important to note that cutting calcium down too low is as bad as having it too high. If you’ve cut calcium intake down too low it can also cause white pee and powdery deposits - the balance is still wrong, it’s just wrong in the other direction. It’s about finding a balance which is right for your piggies
