Hi all I am new to owning guinea pigs. I have a 4 month male who has had white wee for a while. He isn't leaving behind white powdery deposites. It's just white amd smooth. Should I be worried. I cut back his high calcium in take for a week to see chAnges. But no change in wee?

All pigs are different, but his weight seems normal to me. I have a pair of boys who just turned 7 months old and at the four month old mark Scooter, the smaller of the two, was 928g and Punkin was 1129grams

How much fresh grass is to much for a guinea pig?

Start with a very small amount and gradually work up. Too much fresh grass at once can cause bloat, and that's a medical emergency.
