When guinea pig pee oxidizes, it turns a reddish brown colour. My boys have done this for a long time.

Is it red or orange immediately? Or is this dried urine on light coloured fleece?

How will I be sure it's not more serious? Like a UTI or something

Stop feeding the red stuff for a couple of days and see if the color goes away.
