parents are out of town too. just got back from work. called the vet and its closed already. gahh! nearest time wud b monday. wanna bring her back to the vet at kelana jaya i went awhile ago. she got the same thing and the vet there treated her. mm hope she will b okay till monday.

what type of hay to feed young gps until what age?
i read they stated alfafa for young, adult timothy hay. so how old is considered an adult?
thanks..

awww Guinea pigs are so cute!! it looks like chipumunks??

0 to 6 month and pregnant pig ,alfafa hay lor.. 6 month above timothy, oat , bermuda or any other hay la. But alfafa r jus feed as treats to adult.. As alfafa contain calcium which is needed less by adult..

thanks for the reply... that really helps a lot...
happy new year!

Happy New Year every1

quickly bring her to the vet, it is mites!

Which GP of yours have wet jaw problem? I hope it's not the baby I sold you, as the baby could not have over-grown teeth problem at 1.5 months old. Usually over-grown teething problem will start by the age of 4 months old if not monitored properly.

oh it wasnt the one that you sold to me justiny. she's perfectly fat and healthy now. hehe. its pepper, the other one that i have. yeah she's about 4months old or so. but now it seems ok already. mm not so wet. mayb its the water bowl, she dip her head too in into the bowl. but the previous time my GP experienced this, the GP died a few days after, so i was pretty worried.

glad to hear that she's fine now. Do keep monitor on her.... And please post some cute and fat Pics

You don't use water bottle? Use bottle is cleaner than using water bowl, and could avoid water contamination that may causing diarrhea too. Did you check your pepper's teeth? Does the teeth look long?

my cage the sides are not wired, its full so the bottle will need to b hung from the top. finding for ways to innovate the bottle to hang from the top. urm it only gets dirty at times when they start jumping and the saw dust goes in. bsides that its fine. anyways my GPs are toilet training themselves. no idea how. they only poop at one corner of the cage, both of them. hahha kinda cute.

looking for baby gp... anybody has any idea where i can get one? if possible frm a good breeder...

I'm trying to stay away from petshop...

hi. i am newbie for guinea pig . any recommend for the place got selling those fleece for piggie bedding?? I hv 2 piggies. Hope to change their cage bedding by using fleece.

Buy a water bottle and metal wire.. Use tat wire to tie around d bottle the jus hooked it lor.. but 1st u must poke a hole big enough for d water bottle tip to go through.. Hang d bottle at the outside ya..
Sleepymiao:
Jus go to those kamdar or nagoya cloth house and look for it.. Or if u r hav extra cash to spend .. Buy those selimut for baby 1 lor.. I got mine at kamdar at rm6 for 1.5m

i bought a coronet guines pig today. only 8 weeks old. its a male. Anyone can help me how to feed the Vitamin c pill my coronet.

Hi albie welcome to GP thread. Altho GP's cannot produce their own vit c, its not necessary that you need to give them vit c pills. Sufficient vege's with vitamin c daily is enuff. But if you still want to get the pill, you can get Oxbow Daily C from petshack. I personally never tried this, but with oxbow brand, nothing can go wrong

Toilet tray u can find in petshack also. Here.

hi there...
1. was wondering what to use as bedding - i am using cat sand and wood shavings. but got to change as they smells. i have 3 gps.
i find they like to pee and poo where they eat or rest/sleep.is that common?

2. can i train them to only pee or poo at a corner?
i line the area where i cage them with newspaper in a big cardboard box.plenty of space to run.

3. i find they do not like the hay after i left it over night. any reason? i bought timothy hay chopped and put the hay in a bowl.

thanks...

It is best not to use those sand type cat litter.. As ur gp respitory might be affected...they pee poo where they eat is common.. U must help out to train them.. Pick up their poo and plc it at one conner only in order to train them... It take time but it is easier nex time when u cleaning them..

Ya same aa mine .. Mine gp will not even touch the leftover hay.. So i will jus shove it away and replace with new hay.. Dont put to much hay.. Jus accordingly.. like mine i put two genggam of hay as i only hav two pig.. they like their hay fresh.. Once the 'tea' smell is gone from ur hay.. They loss appetite on it.. Lol

hey mind telling me where you got coronet? cos im looking for coronet now.
