Thats why i said i cant be certain, but through my research i have read about URI which the symptoms are sneezing frequently. URI starts off by bacteria. Also this is possible if you are using bedding like wood bedding. But if your GP isnt sneezing frequently, then it just could be the damp weather.

Well i have been pregnant twice and i have managed to live with my mother in laws ferrets.. so it actually depends on the pregnant lady itself and how healthy your pets are. Like emino said.. best you consult with a doctor.

sneezing 'sometimes' is nothing to be alarmed.. URI is usually if sneezing occurs frequently..

The chloroplast should be at least an inch high.. The cubes should be double the height of the chloroplast:) but i got mention before the cubes are hard to find XD

I went sunday.. heheh too bad missed to meet you on saturday hehe.. Kelvin said you were there hehe ^^

Delikate is actually not a good brand huhu... I now support oxbow all the way Btw guys.. i would like to ask around.. who else here is still on Hagen Pellets for their babies?

Try searching garage sales, also taking time to go around pet shops surveying for healthy ones are the best option. This way you can check yourself.

I agree with you chamyk

Yes hehe.. PM would be the best method.. Good luck getting new owners ^^

Yes home bred is the best.. coz they are housed in a much stress free environment.. But sometimes you need to see what the breeders feed, how they treat their GPs and such also.. There is a lot of petshops ni hehehe.. just take a day off to go to the many2 different kinds of petshops.. BTW dont buy from Safari You be the judge of how healthy the GPs are ^^ Good luck~

None that i dare to recommend at the mean time coz their live stocks change from time to time.. sometimes healthy.. sometimes the other way round, so best you go check out different shops.

I dint say all is bad.. Probably i survey more pet shops than you do.. Read properly what i quoted before.. i stated the livestocks sometimes are ok and sometimes are not.. so the best thing is to FIND OUT YOURSELF BY VISITING THE PETSTORE.

As for Hagen Pellets i was on it too until i find out MANY MANY MANY BAD FEEDBACK ON IT. They have stuff like corn glutten and corn corbs in the mixture and there was once a case where a GP DID DIE of eating excessive pellets from this brand. Delikate is even worst because of the seeds and hard corn inside which can practically choke a GP!

It's hard to see peruvian here in selangor even.. if there was peruvians, probably only 1 or 2.

Once there is an eye injury somewhere in the stock or a very sick GP, i rather not take the rest even though the rest look healthy.

Yup im actually compiling the links now wait for it yeah... BTW nice home for your piggies!

I'm still compiling the proper links showing that Hagen pellets is not so good. But i still can't find the link where there was a story where a GP died of eating excessive hagen pellets Those who are still on Hagen, don't fret.. you can slowly change.. Refer to my first post and read what kind of Quality pellets you should find. Not trying to promote or what sort, but Oxbow has gotten a lot of good feedbacks. It might be expensive, but at least we know what we feeding them is safe.. Take time to read the ingredients of the pellets when buying.

I made a mistake by judging that Hagen was a really good GP pellet the last time coz i dint bother reading all of the ingredients. I just jumped to conclusion that it was a good brand since a lot of people are on it. But after a while, after reading many forums in the overseas... i see that MANY strongly Recommend NOT feeding Hagen.. and that is where my research began ><

anyways will try to post the links up asap.. im currently really tied up with deadlines XD

AHAHHAHAH yeah a bit expensive rite but im now 100% on oxbow.. i just realized i making a bigger hole in my pocket too XD coz my girls have gone crazy over it.. First few feedings i mixed with hagen.. swt leave aside the hagen edi! No touch =.= usually GPs take a longer time to change food.. seems like they dont even care about hagen anymore

Japan pellet? What brand is that? ^^

Yes after 6 months they can depend fully on Timothy only.. don't need to mix.. alfalfa is meant for growing GPs~

Keep repeating pressing flour on it.. Like put the flour in a bowl, then press the bleeding nail there. If still bleeding then you will have to bring to dr jenny.. It is possible for infection..

Hie Chamyk, there are no pregnant tests for GPs ><; But here is a method you can try.. pick mommy up then feel her left and right side and see if got lumps. Or the bottom there. If your GP is the kind can know how to keep still on your lap.. put your hand at her belly and see if anything is moving in there. Also the back part is not proportional to the front part of her body. She looks obese at her back These are based on my reading last time. But i think its best to ask Juztiny. He has breed a few of his litter.. Or maybe Jacklene too you can ask them.. I haven't experience such events coz mine are both girls How old is mommy chamyk?

I find it weird that they are fighting.. they got along fine before this rite? If you can do a divider within the cage then that's the best option.. they still keep contact with each other and can touch within the divider and no one gets hurt, BUT only do this if they are fighting til things get too rowdy. But it will cut space for them to run around or alternatively get a bigger cage so that one can get away from another.. If they are just fighting like not so bad, then i suggest leaving them as it is for the meanwhile but you will need to supervise. Or separate them everyday and put them together at nite and see if they still fight.. do this until it stops

It is a common misconception that two male guinea pigs will fight. Compatibility between two guinea pigs is determined by the personalities of the individuals rather than their gender... Some piggies will fight with any pig, but the vast majority delight in having a companion. Usually males fight if there is a sow in the clan.. other than that.. they are all good

bumblefeet caused by wired cage bottoms and especially those cages that bask in the sun. I use the same mats for my piggies. Its very soft on their feet.

Xiawa's way is a good way i know a few people doing the same thing too.. Another option.. which is less expensive, use the hay as bedding underneath the bathroom mats XD coz yea.. breeder celect is super expensive ahhaha and the cage is like soooo big =.=;

breeder celect is recycled paper cat litter.. You can find info about BC here. BC does not contains chemicals that can harm GPs and very highly absorbant. What do u mean by newspaper to avoid fungus.. Fungus and parasites only come in tact with their cage bedding/flooring because of no proper care so this means, cleaning your piggies cage should not be taken lightly. Since i use fleece as bedding, i clean my cage every 4-5 days.. its a lot of work coz GPs are messy eaters
