Hi..I'm new to this forum and new to Cavies. I've had Romeo for several months now and he is a real doll.
I have 2 questions. I would like to know if discolored urine is normal. It is a light rust color. He is healthy in all aspects, great appitite and playful. He purrs alot and does his romancing purr all the time when I pet him. At that time he also does the butt swing.
The other question is this, Is it normal for cavies to sleep in their urine? No matter where I move his igloo, that is where he wants to pee. He gets his belly soaked in urine. I have already bathed his tummy and legs, but he just goes right back to sleeping in it.
I've tried different types of bedding and it does not matter. What I use now is hospital pads and disposable pads. I change the disposable pads several times a day because they get filled with urine and poop.
Thank you.
