I guess depends on the location of where you stay too, frankly I never seen Timothy hay before, went to almost all of the pet shops in Melaka, no one sells them, unless the new Jusco has this purple pack Hagen pellets.

Oh okay thanks!

Anyone knows any tips to prevent them from getting wet for stepping on the wet-pee area inside C&C? I'm thinking putting floor mat but then it spoiled the whole decoration.

The carpet actually absorb their pee, but still takes time to let the wet area to dry and they are not fully toilet-trained at the moment, so they are running and jumping about and stepping on the wet area.

@xavi5567: Heard other forum said use multi-layer bedding with fleece then underneath are towels, but then make me think that how the towels "breathe" if there is no air and it's underneath the wet fleece?
I bought a real dome replaced as their old house and a stool to make as a hidden area for them to pee and poo, hopefully they will do it only there though for the most of the time. Added a DIY hay rack too.

Wonder if sofa-shape mobile holder can be a toy for them?

@xavi5567: Ya their poo dried easily so not a big problem for me, the pee it is. Yes the canister works like a pipe water so they will run about in it. Okay thanks!

This is it?? Only will make your guinea pigs become lazy lol.

Unless if you are saying about organic plantation then that's different story, but fresh natural grass I don't really think so because it doesn't contain any minerals or vitamins just like hay does and those natural grass can be polluted easily through air and water.

Hi.. welcome the thread, please make yourself comfortable! What DSLR you using?

I'm worrying when they stepped on the wet pee area if they were to attract mites to come in their fur?

Yes I think always observe them to see if anything goes wrong.


Oh nice shot there!

@Nikki3010: Well yes, they make noise whenever they are hungry, fear or want to pee and poo then their hands and feets will start scratching on you

I just bought fleece and towels, I wonder if I need to buy extra fleece and towels for replacement when the current one in the washing machine? or simply just put them into a box first until the fleece and towels are dry?

@xavi5567: Okay, I got mine in Mydin 59" x 79" for RM8.90. The thing I'm worrying about is the towel underneath if I might need more for back up since towels are expensive.

@xavi5567: Oh now I'm having three layers, fleece on top, one big towel underneath, then last layer is newspaper. Well just in case the fleece is really wet so the towel helps in absorb just to get rid of going underneath to the raw coroplast basement. I read from other forum they said use fleece then underneath put towels so I follow it.

Yea just to make sure that their pee stain doesn't spoilt the coroplast on the basement. Yep cleaning frequently and to make sure of mites also.

I think I bought the correct fabric for my C&C!! my guinea pigs are no longer getting wet by the wet pee area after stepping on it since fleece dry easily within minutes.

@xavi5567: Well I bought the fleece blanket. Actually not 100% of not getting wet, still some small percentage that my pigs will still get wet unless when they naughty.

Better call up your friends or anyone you know if no response from here.

Talking about vets, well vets here in Melaka does not treat small size animals and the only vet that treat small size animals is the government vet.

Some vegs can be fed everyday, some cannot and best is to give organic vegs spending RM2-3 more for better quality is a worth it. I think any food given to guinea pigs, the best and safest of all and still contains good nutrition are pellets, hay and vegs, other than that I don't really recommend, and pellets and hay are the essential food to them, very essential. Even the cap ayam pellets still better than those kuaci mixed food lol.

@serene1314520: Yea, anyone that is first timer please make sure you done a decent research on petting guinea pigs, what to let them eat, what don't and etc etc.

About various types of pellet, can we feed rabbit pellets too, or just specifically guinea pigs?
