but i scare she sleeps on the poo den she will have skin problem and stuff

bath them lor if dirty liao. If u wan less dirty, use mat is the best solution

So sad to hear that...you must be really heart broken on their early departure. Yup..I know how painful you feel on watching your own pet struggling for survival until breathless.....it reminds me of my Harliquine.

White tear? Never experience that.....

Here ish some photo of baby Yuki

"hi there, i'm Yuki "


"My bodeh smexy leh... my 'mommy' like to hold me in her hand oh "

I have no idea. usually she loves to eat pellet few days ago i notice she almost like licking the pellets...

open mouth.. saw.. then top part is broken..

there are 2 teeth on top. one whole teeth gone missing and other left half..

luckily bottom 2 is still intact. feeding hay + grind pellets.. she enjoy grind pellet alot.. the bowl is clean..

So sad to hear about that catherine.. but you did your best.. give yourself a pat ont he back RIP T.T

Im presuming the white tear is just a discharge from the eyes, as GPs excrete a milky white liquid which lubricates their eyes and is used to help them clean their faces.

den if the hole too small for the poo to go thru den how to go drain the poo? clean the mat everyday?mm.. and sorry to hear about your GP catherine. white tear?

his tear is very different from other gp. before he died, i saw his eye the day before got the dried tear, like when we human when our eye infected, keep coming out tear one. Other gp very clean clean wan. But his eye got dried tear.

Try to get a mat that can pass their 'kacang' easily. IF too small ya cant go thru. My friend has this mini vacuum last time. Everyday she vacuum the poo >_< her cage is cleaner than mine LOL.


It could be that catherine, since u say like that. it makes sense

Do not feed your cavy any of the many commercial pellet mixes that contain seeds, dried fruit or colored cereals. These commercial treat foods are geared to look pleasing to us humans, but they are definitely not in the best health interests of your pet. Cavies are not seed or cereal eaters by nature and these types of junk foods are high in sugars and carbohydrates, which can lead to an overgrowth of bad bacteria.

The poo used to be able to go through, now so fat already, shit also fat . So everyday, i will sapu the shit. The reason we did this flooring is cos usually the pee is the cause of the messyness. Poo + pee = very sticky. Poo smells! Dried poos are okay We tried a bigger gap one last time, but she had trouble walking due to the gaps (get stucked or imbalance), so we changed it back to the previous one.

Wa.. Introducing my female guinea to my two male pig is a big big mistake.. Now tat d female is on heat.. My male is darn wacko liao...they jump out of their cage for d 1st time in order to go to d female cage... Lucky didn get in and got lost.. Lucky my friend heard all d rackus they make off.. Both of them stay close to d female cage..with d female on heat.. She keep spraying pee..all wet wet.. Haiz... Now make me hav to rethink and make a roof for d male cage as now they can jump over 20cm easily.. Sigh...

Dear all,

Just wanna ask how to identify GP de sound?? >.<" sometimes i dont know baby Yuki is making which type of sound... cause she sounded sooooo soft ~~~

Juztiny, this is a great idea!!!pls advise where can I buy the plastic wiring conceal tube case I am looking for this kind of frame.I cant afford to buy the dog cage for my piggies so thinking of layer this frame in the cage for them to avoid soaking in poo and pee more clean and easy for me to clean the cage too.(lazy master)

You can get all these stuffs from traditional hardware shop. Even the glue gun.

HAHA. last time when my female gp on heat, 1 of my male GP even can jump through a 30cm wire mesh. Luckily he din't get hurt =.="

that sounds scary LOL~

i plan to introduce them.. but not so early.. as the female is jus 2 month + not safe to reproduce yet plus she hav a bit of mites on her fur so dont wanna mix yet..... but during dinner they saw each other.. wheeking none stop.. the female is surely on heat.. prompting my two male to go motorboating .. as i usually feed them on a chair.. i feed the male while my gal feed the female.. while this time ... they make contact.. the female even try to jump to the males' chair(feeding area.. i was like wahlau eh.. then my gal say let them check it out each other (bad bad idea) female keep spraying pee all over the place.. i notice it and immediately take her away... then the cage jumping happen tis morning bout 5.30 u guess.. i was sound asleep but my friend heard the ruckus made by my two male offender.. and wake me up.. they didn make it to the female cage but didn got far either.. jus hang around the female cage area and get spray with pee all over their fur by the female.. lucky nothing much happen ... take them back and close their cage top.. tonite will reinforce the top .. i know they r very miang d.. lol..

hey juztiny, wanna ask, can the GP walk on that comfortably? cos the size of the opening looks like its big enough for the poo too pass thru. so if they can walk on it, i might just adopt this in my cage. cos now the mixture of pee + poo on a flat undrained cage makes me wanna clean the cage everytime i see it.

Need to put another layer of the toilet mat on it. Just plastic netting alone cannot support the weight of GP.

Added on March 2, 2010, 10:11 amThis morning 2 healthy babies were born. One male and one female. Breed unknown....not sure pure Sheltie or mixed. They look like Sheltie, but need to wait till 1 month later only can confirm. As I cannot remember who the father was, I had been switching the SOW till lost track.
