OMG juZtiny. how many u have?!! and how u cope with so many?!

12-13 of them. How I cope?? Well...I bath them less often already...only once a month. Very tiring to wash 7 cages every 3 days.

i'm aLready half dead washing 4 cages...
And I thought I have aLOt of pets... I think u have MoRE!

Actually I have a maid to do those cleaning chores...but still I am the one bath them and blow dry them one by one. And they eat a lot...10lbs of pellets a day.

Congra for the new v5, thanks for Sugar for her affort to setup this cool V5 for Guinea pig......sorry for the late turning up as i just return to office today aft 4 days leaves and too many works need to follow up.

Well, info for my gps are as below:

Jingle - Female - normal/short hair mix Abby - 6th June 2008 (She was the only baby of Joy, but not sure who is her father as Joy was already pregnant (but the owner dont realised) when i adopt her on May 2008.)
Jasper - Male - Sheltie - Aug 2008
Choco - Male - Sheltie mix short hair/abby - 12ve Apr 2009
Snowy - Female - Sheltie mix short hair/abby - 12ve Apr 2009

Hrm....maybe i should include both of them also as they are always in my mind and my heart.

Joy - Female - Abby - ard 5-6 mths old (RIP on 19th June 2008 due to contagious virus infection)
Jester - male - Abby - ard 2-3 mths old (RIP on 16th June 2008 due to contagious virus infection)

p/s: Both of them are adopted from my sister's housemate on 11th May 2008.

Attached here with some old photos of Joy, Jester, Jingle, Jasper, Choco and Snowy.

sorry to hear your gp already died even you already try your best to save her, hope she rest in peace
why don't you bury her on your garden or near to your house and put some stone on her grave.

Bury her? Actually if GP doesn't want to eat, you could have tried baby food. I don't think milk is advisable unless it was a baby and you fed the animal milk that you can buy from pet shop or vet.

Just went to Ikano Pet Safari and check out the cage, the cage are almost 98% same as zoozone cage. I'm actually using zoozone 2 since somewhere mid of last year untill now. Basically, the material quality for the living worlds are not so good compare wt zoozone (as zoozone's material is more harder and think). I'm still consider which one to choose now (whether choose the living world or the horizontal wired cage) and i have throw this decision to my hubby since he used to make the decision on the cage for the gps.

Hi Sugar, i actually put the zoozone cage at my living room and wt a ceiling fan (wt 2 or 1 volumn during raining day) direct on top of the cage, so i think it is not too bad in terms of the ventilation or maybe you could advice me on this.

Hi Scorpal, Jasper was having bloat or so called foreign body obstruction in previous,Dr Yeoh there do have the x-ray facilities for Guinea pig but not Hands n Paws,so have to go there and take the x-ray to check the condition of blockage in the intestinal of Jasper.Dr.Jenny wrote a letter to Dr.Yeoh on mentioning the condition of Jasper and the needed part of x-ray from Jasper.

Not sure whether both of them know each others or not but i think they have heard each other before lah. The x-ray for Jasper cause RM55 at Dr,Yeoh there but no consultation. Then we went back Dr.Jenny there for consultation on the x-ray and medicine. Total cost for both Jasper and Jingle at Hands n Paws there was RM98 included the ultrasoulds for Jingle to check the condition of her babies.

Hi Xiawa, Mian is really cute and the video is super nice.

i misunderstanding or you???
what i understand what she say is her gp died and don't want to throw the 'body' just like rubbish
i'm soooooooo confius

Hi Yan, i'm sorry for your lost and cheerup dear as you still need to take care others of your gps. i wrap them wt a small tower and put inside a small box with cover then bury them under a tree at the playground which is 10 steps frm my house last time.

I think he meant she could bury the GP as stated in the 1st line, then was giving some comment on feeding a GP that doesn't want to eat.

@carol - yes thats right the original zoozone is much better in terms of durability.. the pet safari one.. aiyo mahal nak mampos and looks really fragile. Since you already have the zoozone 2 and your GPs doing so fine with it.. nvm let it be ^^ its ok with the fan no 2.. just not to cold ya during rainy days.. you can give them plenty more floortime if you have the time.. that way they can breath fresh air and have exercise XD

@Valeri - sry to hear about the loss. I think you did your best.. so chin up ^^ if you have a garden, just bury her there.. make sure other bigger animals wont dig it up.

Btw to others who sent me pm on gps names, will update it at nite kays XD a bit busy today.. huhu my sister in law gave birth last week and i havent seen her yet.. so gonna be out whole day..

cheers

u guys know any solution that can clear black spot on GP hair?

It's very cost if i brought them to Yeoh Vet, rm30 per spray...

ermm last time nubby had those too..but i bath him like once a week and the black spots went off...but i'm not sure it's recommended...still bring ur gp to the vet and ohhh i remember they said something about a medication shampoo maybe that would help and maybe cheaper..

wow v5 edi. congrats.

btw i got a new cage for my gps! theyre loving it. hehe



bought it from pet lovers center for 117rm. quite large.


living happily in their new hideout

i think you may bring them to hands n paws...the map is on few pages back...
should be cheaper rate compare to dr. yeoh...
