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..

I had this problem as well ....
I separated Milky and Cotton from their Mommy to prevent interbreeding and put them together with an older maLe GP.
The Older one started acting aggressively ... chasing the little ones around and peeing all over and climbing all over them....
It went on all night and I was so stressed out & worried... I didnt know what to do....

Anyhow I left them overnight and by the next day... they started to settle down and get along very well...
It was really messy at first and I was really upset but now they R living happily together..
it just takes a while for them to get to know each other and get used to each other...
Just have to be patient...

p/s: it is normal for male GPs to hump other male GPs....

yesterday i go to petwonderland @ midvalley...they hav 3sheltie and many normal GP...sooooooooo cute...cant wait my sem break...heheh...

I might have missed this meiixiin, did u straight away give the oxbow? Or did you give it with old pellets? Coz GP take time to adapt to new food. You will need to mix it with old pellets for first few feedings is 80% old pellets and 20% oxbow. Then you slowly cut down the old pellets until 100% oxbow..

I think so. My old pellets almost finished in that time,
so i just mix a little bit old pellet for him when switching.
But now the old pellet had finished d,
then how? It's too bad I didn't follow the guidance.

oh if totally finish arr have some hay that they like? mix it with the hay in the bowl see got eat or not~

hrm....i was thinking to put Choco and Jasper together for overnight too....but i just worried that Choco might be too stress because Jasper keep on chasing him to hump and disturb him. And i also worried that Jasper might accidently step on Choco and cause any internal injuries(just like Snowy's case). But when i went to pet shack today Jack told me should be ok since Choco is already 5 mths old.....

I really dunno what should i do now (whether separate them wt coropast or no need separate them or still let Choco stay with Jingle).....anyone have any command on this?

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

Thanks!! I have updated the pic on the first page under how to sex a GP.. credits have been given to you too

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.

You still in the progress of switching. If your old pellets is finish and do not wish to buy a new bags, you can introduce your new feed very slowly. Example, take as your GP eat 100% of pellet, now you give 20% of new pellet and feed unlimited TIMOTHY HAY ONLY. You switch like this : MUST company timothy hay.

20% first week
40% second week
80% third week
fourth week 100% new pellet + REWARD some alfalfa hay.

If you notice your gp still not eat much or have much appetite on new pellet, mean she/he still prefer the old pellet's taste.

Every animal nid times to intro new food~

Meiyan, jus be patient ya~~

We don feed our pets whatever they like, we r the owner, we nid to do proper research what is good for them, then slowly intro to them with patience and love...

Oppsss....sorry Choco was 5 weeks old not 5 mths old...apologies for my mistake .....should i put him wt his father in same cage now? Just worried that Jasper might injured him....or maybe i should put a coropast to divided the cage so that at least can avoid some accident happen?
