erm.. Same case like mine.. My Abby around 350g at 4 month old. While my Sheltie 250g when 2 month.Now my Sheltie become bigger than my Abby..
I suspect that my Abby is inbreed case.. growth rate seem too slow, but she so fat(round) at the moment.. No healthy issue.. I provide same food same nutrition for both of them..

Read somewhere..

for US standard show size, GP at 4 months should be around 625g..
but, it is US..here malaysia..i'm not sure..

thats why lar i believed my gp was 1 month yr old when i bought him. sweetiewawa have u weigh yr babies? i weigh with digital scale tt my wf use to make biscuit raya. hehe. My wf was angry after that i senyap2 timbang Jojo.

cannot compare to my GP..since Suha n Milo is already 1 year..Sorry

yes urs is healthy.. It is a norm for tat weight at tat ages, normally shop wont sell gp older than 2 month old de la.. They only sell from 3 week to 2 month old.. Older than tat is old stock which either no one want or got penyakit.. initial weight from shop are always around 200 g plus plus.. bt sometimes due to the shop gila untung bring out those which r jus 2 week old.. Mulnutrietion since birth hence weight less.. At 4 month old the pig will weight bout 400 to 600 g d..

LEGA! hehe..thanks ya xavi!

normally how long gp mother milking her baby?

whenever the babies want the milk, the mother will give it..without hesitation..but Suha stop feeding milk to Joey when the baby was 20days..that's what i observed..n i think definitely the mum will stop when realise herself doesnt have milk anymore..

white moving thinggy is lice.. brown spot moving- mites.. double deal.. tis 1 u need to c dr. for revolution application liao.. but while u look for the proper dr. at penang.. continue the vinegar treatment.. warm water plus vinegar (ratio 1:1) rendam ur pig for 5-10 minute.. in doing so get a old toothbrush and brush off the foreign moving object(FMO).. dont do tis everyday though -->i mean the bathing.. do it two times a week... after the bath rinse again with warm water and dry ur piggy off with a hair dryer and while doing so comb its fur/coat .. u should c those FMO fall off..

My experience treating lice using baby oil. Next time i will use olive oil as xavi said baby oil is mineral based and harder than olive oil. I dont bath my gp that time bcoz i am afraid to bath him until now (now, i force my wife to bath him and i help her). I put the oil using my finger not pour a lot on his body. At first i use my finger and put on the spot where the lice stay. I found that the lice like to stay at the rosette (abbysinian breed got this). When i put the oil on the rosette, they run to other part of the body . Lastly, i put the oil on all over his body except face and ear. I take time so that my gp not so stressed eventhough i feel his stressness that time. After putting oil, i let him alone in his cage about 15 to 20 (i think) minutes and after that i swept lap2 using dry towel and brushing him slowly using toothbrush. After that i clean all the stuffs i.e towel, brush and the cage and made new setup for the cage. I think i repeat the 2nd and third days but only using my finger on the spot where lice stays and lap2 using towel and brush. I can see the improvement starting from the 2nd day. Eventhough, the wet effect by the oil stay about a week bcoz i didnt bath him.

In my opinion using baby oil and vinegar bathing are two different treatments. If u run both treatments at the same time it can make yr gp stressed. If u can see vet just see vet. Last time i didnt see vet bcoz i didnt know any vet here in jb. But if u still want to alternatively treat yr gp, u do your best for your gp. Good luck.

Here is the picture of my gp during his treatment.

These pictures remind me when i was in my childhood. Every morning before go to school my mum put hair oil on my hair. The smell of the hair oil made me active and not sleepy

Thanks guys, the brown spots are only visible when his body is wet & it's not moving. Anyone feeding their guinea pigs with vitakraft here? Is it good for the guinea pigs? I'm mixing vitakraft with hagen for Zizou but he doesn't like the hagen pellets.

My friend said he always geram with that cat because that cat enter into his house and jumping to catch his bird in cage. That cat colur is white plus grey shorhair.
