I've noticed some excess calcium in my piggies urine recently however I'm not sure where i need to change their diet. We changed the veggies a little while ago and there isn't much calcium in the veggies we've been giving them so I'm not sure what needs to change (picture of the pigs when they were babies for cuteness)

When my piggies had too much calcium buildup from their veggies it took a week for it to clear out of their system, so it may just need some time to clear up, that or you can check the vitamin contents in your pellets on the back of the food bag. Also the last thing you can do is swap from tap water to bottled filtered water!

What type of pellets do you give them?

Do you give them tap water?

And what veggies have they had recently?

Could you tell me what veggies you’re giving them? And what kind of water do you give them, is it tap?

Untreated tap water can be high in calcium, I’d recommend switching to filtered water from the store.

As for the veggies they seem fine. I’d recommend adding bell peppers for vitamin C tho
