Question
Lily has this white powdery waxy stuff on her toys food and bedding! Its not throw up because we looked it up! And i dont know what else it could be! What is it?

Answer
It is most likely from the acid crystals in her urine, guinea pigs do have acidy urine, not as bad as rabbit urine but almost. It will come off with some bleach or vinegar and water. Once you use a cage or a toy for a while it will get urine acid stains on it, the only thing you can do is clean the cage and toys out often and well.
