Today when I woke up, I gave George some pellets and water and I noticed that his urine dried white in 2 places. It's not sludgy, just chalky.
Is this because he's getting too much calcium?
He gets 1/4 cup of pellets a day (1/8 cup twice daily). 1/2 bell pepper, 2 cherry tomatoes, some wheat grass and red leaf lettuce. Occasionally I'll give him celery and cranberries, as well.
And he eats plenty of Timothy hay. :p

As long as it's only powdery and not gritty he's fine. Also you may want to offer a little bit more of a variety of veggies.

I'll definitely add more variety! The only reason I didn't get him more than just that is cause I was in a rush and didn't write down all of the stuff that I wanted to get him when I went to the store. :p

And yeah it's just powdery! Thanks :)
