yup, like emino said. more like rabbit. and like xavi said too..... if got mix up will smelly more lor

like rabbit?! @__@ cos had rabbit b4 their pee really corrosive..

so what do you guys do? I mean, let them pee one corner and poo another corner? and pick it up everyday?
how do they do their business actually?poos and pees altogether in one corner? if keep 1 GP, will the pees and poos smell as bad as mentioned?
if use fleece method as bedding, wouldn't it be heavily smell?
btw does bedding quality affect the smell?

sry guys, gotta ask these noobs questions..

so far he doesnt hav any bald spots yet....his fur is juz dropping whenever v carry him and 'belai' him....is that normal??

Well i advice u not to use fleece 1st if u dont hav not much free time and if ur pig r not toilet train yet.. Even mine which is 80% toilet train will still poo and pee everywhere once a while.. but i suspect only 1 pig is pooping.. Lol tat 1 lazy a bit.. Lazy to come out of d house to pee and poo.. Will ocasionally come out.. Yes they normally will pee and poo at the corner so buy a triangle toilet bin for it.. It order to toilet train. It. U need time and patiences..lot of it.. Pick up their poo every day and put to where u wan it to do their business..
In order to replace fleece maybe u can use those toilet mat 1st.. Cover ur cage's base with newspaper and then the toilet mat on it.. U still need to do cleaning ya..

Probably cos of hot weather... and animals shed their fur... but still need other experts to answer.. this is just my 2cents logic... cos my pets shed their fur when it's hot...

Added on January 25, 2010, 12:44 amhahaha yeah bathing n cleaning gp cage is a very good workout XD. everytime i finish cleaning all my gp cages (3 of em) and bath 4gps i'll just drop to my bed n zzzzz......

i wonder how Juztiny manage all her gps, rabbits, dogs... @_@;


I'm so sorry for ur lost...may ur beloved gp RIP...hope he can find my Cyndy who died last year up on the rainbow bridge and become gud frens... cheer up ya, u did all you can...

yes try having a gp from a breeder..i also have 1 more for sale and 1 for adoption if you wish to look for a new fren, and here oso got good breeders who really care for the gps more than money...

OREO....~! i miss u~!! XD Oreo looks rounder now...u must have feed em alot XD

did u ever groom ur gp? like bath it once a month and comb the fur at least once a week? combing can help the fur drop less, and ur gp will look xtra handsome too XD. and try giving him vit C supplements, u can get it in petshops like Petshack,

i think it is not advisable to bath her tht early...i usually giv my nursing gp a month wihout bathing...and i oso limit myslef from handling her, just move her when i need to clean the cage...she is stil recovering from her delivery and now nursing the babies and gradually healing herself, so its better to leave her alone wit her kids as much as possible.

living hall no problem, as long its not direct sunlight, good ventilation and not too hot oso XD


its upload already dear...go go see her XD

how much is the cage?

Photo times piggies~!!!

Here's my dear GPs, after a bath, nail trim, fur combing, and a big bowl of fresh veges XD Since I cant sleep and I'm bored I like to make a re-introduction of em too, since there's lots of new ppl here in LYN's GP Corner

1st n 2nd pic is my male GPs. The !st is Shiki (Shiki Kokuto),an Abby agouti. I used to tell ppl his a brown/grey agouti, but now i dunno how to say his color...coz my fren said it looks like green color @_@; btw he is the father of all 4batch of baby gps i had so far. The 2nd pic is Merlin (Merlin Teardraw), the latest addition to my GP family. I adopt him from a forum fren about 2 weeks ago. He's an abby too, and he's easily startled (very jumpy guy) and reminds me of my fave character Merlin in the drama...XD i oso dunno why...

3rd n 4th pic is my GP ladies. Yui (Yui Yulia Yurihiko) is a tricolor normal, which is the mother of batch4 babies (Coco/Wolfie/Teddy) thts on sale now. She is my very first GP, and a special one to me as she likes to express her content by licking my fingers when i let her rest on me while i watch TV The other one is Nao (Narwhal Eurynome), Black/White Abby mix Peruvian. She is a special gp too, mostly bacause of her 'noble'-like attitude, like a princess XD She have a look of an abby, with some extra longer hair than normal abby that is very soft and thick. All her babies possess almost the same quality of fur too, and in quite a unique variation of colors.

In my next future batch, i'd ilke to match Nao and Merlin, to observe how different the color variation and fur quality will be. Shiki's babies is rather unique in color, I wonder how Merlin's babies will turn out to be

i bet ... becareful water getting into thier nose also right?? haha i love ur OREO!! cute!! hehehe... i wonder when i can get my very own GP...

Thanks haha. Yeah just make sure everything is alright lar. But will abit water will go into their nose or ears if they keep moving when u bathing them. Mine was like that ... so sometimes i worried wan but nothing happen in the end. But if they stay still, water won't go in.
