Brownish pee?

[Plumcore]

So, because it is summer, i placed a ceramic cup in Pips cage a while back, so she can cool off in there. Funny enough shes been using it as a toilet.

Well today when i went to look, the pee was fairly liquid, bit more than usual, and a milky brownish color, like when you add a lot of milk to your coffee. It smelled but her pees always smelled, so that wasn't different.

I know she is drinking because i can hear her. I also know that their pee does turn brownish after a bit before it dries up, but im not sure how long the pee has been there.

I know it's pee and not diarheea because i can see her poop grains in the cage.

We've bought her some cashew nuts (uncooked unsalted) yesterday, and some yogurt drops.

Anyone got any clues? Shes sleeping now still, but yesterday she behaved quite normal. No weird posture or anything.

I think pee can be a kind of milky coffee colour - I remember wondering what this creamy liquid was in the early days when he pee'd in tubes. I haven't seen it for ages as it gets soaked up in litter these days.

Someone else might know if female wee changes colour with hormones or something, but sounds to me like it is either normal or just a bit strong due to the warm weather. I should check her water bottle is letting water out well so she can drink plenty.

The water bottlevworks fine, but ill place a bowl too just in case.

I have had a female Syrian hamster before and her urine was somewhat brown. I put it down to her urine being very strong since it really did pong.

Sometimes that can be a sign of a urine infection, if she's having problems peeing she'll need to see a vet.
Is there anything you've given her to eat that may be the cause of the strong smell?
I know that when Twinkle had that she was eating a lot of mealworms and once I stopped them, her urine wasn't smelly. Since then she hasn't bothered with them.
