Does my guinea pig have a kidney disease? D:?I think it's been about a year since my guinea pig peed. He always poos, but he never pees anymore. At least not that I've seen when I take him out. Does he have a kidney disease? I've read that some people with kidney diseases lack urination, so I started thinking about this.

If its been a year since your guinea pig peed- he would be dead.
It is probably a good thing that he is not peeing on you. They usually wont pee when they come out of their cage... unless you hold them for too long.
They can be very clean little animals- and it sounds like you just have a clean one, that always goes in the same place.
It is very possible that your guinea pig is just going outside of his cage and onto the grass to pee.
Is his bedding ever soggy? If it is- well- thats where he is going!
Normally, kidney problems in animals makes them pee more, and for longer periods of time- and with a little animal like a guinea pig- it would kill them pretty quickly. But I have never heard of a guinea pig with this problem.
If you are really concerned about your pet, you should get him checked over by a vet to make sure that he is in good health.

No animal goes with out going to the bathroom, you just are not seeing him do it. If he drinks water he goes to the bathroom, if he eats veggies he goes to the bathroom. He is just doing it when you are not looking when he squats!! The only animal that does not urinate is a dead animal.

It's impossible for a Guinea Pig to not go pee for over a year - he would have died by now, you can read more at http://cavycare.net, and take a look at the vets page for more info

Your guinea pig does not have kidney Disease.
If he hasn't peed for over a year then he surely would be dead.
Guinea pigs don't like peeing on their owners so they usually wont.
Guinea pigs will pee roughly every 15-30 minutes.
You are just not seeing him doing so which is normal.
Male guinea pigs will pee inwards and females will pee outwards.
That fact will come in good handy.
