now this...

sigh.. it's ok... hitz... pm me when u R onLine...
soRRy..

ya ya its very hard to identify the sex at early age...now i'm abit confuse with 1 of my baby GP MiMI....now mimi's genital part looks like male, when last week its female....now takut mimi is male coz Mr.Hikano will take mimi n brownie, both is sibling, n brownie is female....
izzit possible that its the nature of GPs, when they are born their sex anre not determine yet, and the genital parts will only develop to become either one (male or female) only after a few weeks time? which means there is no 100% guarantee tht the newborns that look like female became male after 2 weeks? oh no scary.....

Jacklene cheer up ya, its proven to be a little tricky to sex GPs....

This is my Gal, she will automatic poo and pee in the mangkok , this is when she is poo-ing 
How Cute is she!!! 

btw here is a funny newspaper clip i found hahahaha~ this is from an overseas newspaper

aihhhh....i just bought a nice shebby from a breeder. i'm a newbie but already done my research. 
i bought her last saturday. this 3 days, she like normal. very active and always do that purring sounds.
i feed her sluis GP cuisine and oxbow hay. using zoo zone cage and sumtimes normal hamster cage if i want to bring her up into my room.
i place her at the back of my house. very quiet at nite and not very loud at day light. then...this day come, i dont why, suddenly she looks like very tired and sad.
doesnt move around a lot and sumtimes doesnt move at all    aihhh... i check her feet if got any injuries, nothing. her eyes look very sad.
but no tears la. so anyone can tell me if this kinda normal or i need to bring her rite away to a vet ?

Sorry for the loss of your babies Juztiny. Hope the Sheby continue to grow well. Pity you were outstation during when the mum wasnt providing o well for babies, else can handfeed them.

Thanks for the help. but the things is...she only like to pee in one corner at the same time sleep there.
i dont know if my gp automatically toilet trained because the seller said she is not toilet trained.
i try to put her bed there mayb she pee'd somewhre else, still cannot. mayb she like to sleep in her own pe

i think i going to get new cage like those rabbit cage where the pee will fell down on the tray and kept her clean.
its safe ka to use that cage ? can her escape ?
sorry for the mumbling

Ooo... what did you do with Blackie?

I just heard from a friend that if I give her the house, she'll get used to it and keep hiding. Is that true or can I make her come out?

Hmm.... I can see how food makes a difference. This afternoon I fed her some treats (carrots and cucumber). Tonight when I came back from outing, she was out from her hidey house and wheeking at me. She got louder when I spoke and came nearer. Now she's staring at me through the hidey house hole. Once in a while, she'll come out and wheek and then go back in.

She keeps scratching. Is that normal? Or should I go buy a special shampoo?

Oh yeah and one more thing, since she's new, is it safe to let her have floor time? I am afraid that when I try to carry her, she'll run away and distrust me. How do I go from shy GP to picking up and cuddling to floor time?

limie-san still looking for male GP? why dont buy 1? male GP in my opinion will not have many problems if mixed with older female at early age...

I'm very frustrated this morning. I woke up around 6am to clean my GPs cage (i usually clean them on sunday but this week so busy...) right now my male shiki is in his personal cage, female yui in another personal cage and another 2 female cyndy n nao share a big cage. i separate yui from the other 2 female after all of them pregnant at the same time, as yui has major fur loss and need special attention...

Since all their babies are sold, i wish to put yui back with the other 2 females to save space. but as i tried to move her (this is the 3rd attempt) yui starting to become very aggresive, she do those "mating" dance-like, purring wildly and try to conquer the food bowl. any gp try to get close her will be chased away. then she will try to chase them and bite them until some strings of hair on her mouth....i was so worried and checked the other GP that has been bitten, lucky there is no bleeding...if this things happen, can they eventually make up with each other should i separate them forever? Yui was the most friendly gp before her pregnancy, she live with the other 2 very happily before...i'm so sad that she act this way...T_T now have to buy another cage for her coz i plan to move shiki to her old cage as the one shiki lives in is a temporary one.... :sigh:

have 1 question, do lady gp got period ??

this morning i found some blood stain at a corner of their cage, i do check their body properly, no wound and their private part clean too 
any1 experienced this b4??
