i woke up with a cage fulled with poo poo!!!! i just clean up her cage... and new bottle of water .... now she starts munching away again...

i hug her this morning, she sit still on my hand palm and let me hand brush her fur... den slowly she explore my hand i even able to hand feed her already... use baby wipes to wipe her butt a bit cause she pee until very very dirty at her butt ~~

haha. wat an eating machine huh haha

hey fellow forumers. need your help. i need a new cage as the one i am using now just aint working. the one i am using now i like solid at the bottom, so there is no where to drain the poo and pee. it gets smelly very very fast now that i have 3 GPs in there.

i was thinking abt getting one of those cages with grills at the bottom and another level where the pee and poo will go, den i can just clean the tray instead.

the only worry i have is what size of the grill shud i get? i am very worried that the GPs leg will get stuck in between the grill. and if i buy too small, the poo will not b able to go thru. mm it wud b very helpful if all sifus here can help and advice. thanks.

get a floor mat for toilet use will do.

BTW, is corn pellet bedding suitable for GP? back2nature is out of stock everywhere!! this is de closest i can find...

You can buy this type, very good, the gap is small, size is big enough...it cost around RM80-100 only. See the picture below I have 4 small rabbits in there.

Wow, juz, nice idea on the place u put the cage. No need to wash the tray also.

Haha..put in on top of my old cloth iron rack hanger. Top part use the zinc cover sheet as roof, then use old PVC banner cover up the side so when rain also no need to worry they get wet.

hey, maybe i should do something like that

I dont use the metal grill, instead i use the plastic one, so it wont cut itself (who knows)... Been using it for 3 years .

Won't it chew the plastic netting? For my case, even bathroom mat also chewed up, plastic netting also chewed up....I every 3-6 months need to replace those stuff.

mine seems to like to chew their toilets.

was wondering what comb to use to comb guinea pig's hair? thanks

i am so happy with baby Yuki ~~~ she is getting more closer to me as hours passed .. just now as i online chatting she sit still on my lap .... time to time stands up to smell me .... den she make little noises .. i take some hay and hand feeded her ... now she is sleeping in her home ...

i have one problem.. she seems to poo and pee every corner of the cage and she sleeps on it.. i tried to pick the poo up put aside to the corner toilet but she stills poo everywhere and sleep on them... gosh ... what can i do to make her sleep more clean area... i have to be very alert with her.. as she sometimes sleep on her pee!!! ... oh yeah .. as she sleep she poo =.=""""" and she seems more relax at her new home ..

Ok, using new product from Japan named Marukan モルモット　ディナー is very nice and fresh, mix with fruit, vitamin, 3 type of hay and veg, red bean, nut and many more, nice leh~~~

See my blog showing the comb:-

Juztiny... does yuki always sleep near poo poo??? i tried to clean the cage as frequent as can.. but she still keep sleep on or near her poo

it's normal for them to pee & poo at de corner as they r marking their territory. if u want toilet train her, need a lot of time & patience.

hey but can the poo go thru the holes of the green plastic?

lol, too small for the poo to fall down.... should change bigger.... or use mat.

Today i have a very sad news. My brindle cannot make it.He was ok yesterday, still eating like mad when i'm feeding him last nite. This morning, i saw him lying there and keep struggling for survival. He kept move his legs. I dunno what happen. I felt so horrible. I thought i can save him, but i can't. I saw a little white tear coming out from his eye. What is it? Can anybody tell me?
