Hi guys! I have been finding white calcium spots on my piggies fleece cage for 6 months, they are only one now and the spots have been starting to get chalky they get peppers, cucumbers, raddhiccio, cherry tomato and ocassionally red or green leaf lettuce. I feed them small pet select pellets and their hay is a mix half orchard grass and half second cutting Timothy. I'm very concerned about my piggies and idk what else to do. I also give them each an oxbow urinary support every day do you guys have any suggestions. I'm really nervous for their health. I also don't know which pig is leaving the spots or if it's both of them. Thanks !

Feed them veggies with less calcium. Google the nutrition facts to see.

Thank you! I will start feeding lettuce more often I give it only 3-4 times a week right now and yes I have heard great things about Kms hayloft pellets and as soon as I'm out of the pellets I have now I will order them !

you can always just switch between red and green leaf letuce or romaine. I try to keep 2 kinds at a time.
