Oh..so sad to hear your white kumo-chan died. Well...may it find happiness over the rainbow bridge.

Congrats on your new babies, this time more experience already lah..

Sigh...quite disappointed...my favourite dark brown Shebby baby is a male, whereas the latte color Shebby is female. I normally like to keep female, as female GP can share cages with the rest easily.

Here are more pictures of my 2 days old Shebby GPs.

Well...you could put that female GP inside the same cage with babies provided she is not an aggressive type. However one thing to beware is the babies biological mom may protective over her babies, then will bully that female GP. Actually if those 2 females GP have been living together in the past, then nothing much to worry..the female auntie will help to care for the babies too. In the wild, they are caring for each other, except that there are 1 or 2 personality problematic type.

I have one female GP which I adopted from someone early this year, very aggressive type, also bully my other female GPs, she can never get along with anybody.

Oh...ya, here is the sample reference you could refer to identify your GP babies' sexes.

Well..I understand your worries, as your Jasper is quite a problematic one.. why don't you boarding them at Dr. Jenny's clinic? Would this give you peace of mind?

Hrm..... yeah,Jasper is the most problematic one.... Choco is abt 5 weeks old and i'm planning to separate him frm the mother to avoid interbreed. When i put him to Jasper big cage today and observe them, Jasper was trying to hump him(Choco).... Haizzzz.....seems Jasper is too agressive in this and i need to get something(maybe coropast) to divide the cage or else something bad might be happen....

Just wonder whether will male gp hump male gp? or maybe i identify the wrong gender on Choco?

Hrm....it is a good idea what maybe i should board them at Dr.Jenny there but i'm a bit worried that 1st thing is there are many dogs and cats boarded at there and just worried that my gps will feel stress due to the dog's bark and 2nd thing is the new environment at there also might cause them stress.

Btw, Juztiny, all your new born gps are so cute,healthy....

Kaoru, may kumo-chan RIP and congratulation to you on the new born pups

So happy to know that there are so many new born healthy pups ard LYN

Hmm..actually new environment won't really cause them stress till death, unless that GP is already very weak and have hidden illness.


Well...if your GPs are currently in good health, then I'm sure your sister could manage the feeding well..

Sure..no problem..it is good to share with new GP owners..at least they won't be fooled by the shopkeeper.

If Choco is already 5 months old, it is ok to mix with his dad. In fact, 4 months old is time to mix with the other males. Don't wait too long, as Choco become older, he may not respect the elder anymore and will try to challenge with Jasper to be the leader, then they would fight even worst. Now at least, Choco will stress for one day being chased by the dad. After a day or 2, they will settle down peasefully.

Someone already reserved the female one. Now only left red brown male.

You have the choice to wait for Daiso to restock its connector stocks, meanwhile you could use those plastic strip that people use to tie cables or wire to tie the wired frame.

Btw, how much does it sell per piece for the long/square wired frame in Daiso?

To stablelize the fence, you need to buy additional wired frame to support the base, unless you are using the fences for the legs of your table then it could be stable.

If RM5 per item, buy longer wire frame more worth it, as it will equal to 2 square frame. Last time I bought in Daiso Singapore, different sizes different price.

Sell off your commercial cage in LYN Garage Sale. Or else keep it as spare.

Fully agree with Jacklene. 5 weeks old is not too fragile actually....unless Choco is exceptionally weak and fragile. I normally separate the male baby from the SOW around 4 weeks old. I have seen a 4 weeks old male baby wanted to hump its mom, of course the Mom's size is bigger, the male baby cannot successfully reach.

I don't sell my GP babies to petshops...and I never like to sell to people whom ask for discount too..because I priced my babies quite reasonable...as they are very healthy and so far no buyers complained to me that my babies I sold died or having mites problem.


If those cube a set cost only RM54...then quickly grab..very worth it.

I think Muchan did mention she allergic to GP too.

If can't stand their blacken nails, then use a toothbrush brush their nails when bathing time.

Any idea what is the cause of death for Miko?

Actually she is only 2 years+ , not that old at all....I suspect it could be due to the garden grass or fresh food you let her eat has chemical substance causing the intestine problem or failure. I normally soak my fresh veg for at least 1 hr before feeding my GPs.

I think is ok to soak for an hour, to make sure the chemical is gone. I didn't use any other solution to soak, but my house is using Diamond filtered water. Hehehe...the Diamond advertisement said it is very good in soaking the veg.
