Quite nice layer cut, you DIY? Or sent to salon cut?

Rupanya macam wearing layer lace skirt.

I never been the farm actually, it was the seller who did. He told me the farm owner is called "Mathew". I don't think this name is the malay guy lah..Or could it be there are more than 1 farm in Banting?

If using wire base cage, you need to put another layer of plastic netting to prevent their foots get stuck in between the wired. Also can use bathroom plastic mat as base layer too.

See the picture of the base.

I bought from that guy before. The hay are quite fresh, really value for money. But don't buy the dehydrated Alfafa Pallet, as our GPs don't like to eat, don't know why. His GPs also don't like to eat too. That pallet only Rabbit likes.

Actually the picture you shown above, the base hole is too big for GPs' feet too. Still need to put a layer of netting on top of it. Those base are designed for rabbit if I am not mistaken.

Selamat Hari Raya to Muslim GP forumers!

Sure it can, in fact you probably use less grid since this size is 12" length. But if your GPs are good climber then probably you have to use the 12" part as height.

Yes, you can add the height. DIY cage has such flexibility.

The SOW is 2 years+ I think. Not very sure, it was adopted from someone early last year. It had became mom for the 3rd times (including this time).

After miscarriage no need to bring to vet if your GP is recovering well. You need to bring to vet when you spotted your GP is abnormally still and inactive.

[B]Pregnancy Risk/Difficulties During Birth[/

Dystocia: Female guinea pigs intended for breeding must be first bred before 7 months of age. If the first breeding is delayed beyond this time, serious (sometimes life-threatening) problems with delivery are encountered.
A portion of the pregnant sow's pelvis must widen for successful delivery of her young. This separation fails to develop in females bred for the first time after 7 months of age, usually necessitating a cesarean section to deliver the young and save the sow's life.
Signs of dystocia include straining and uterine bleeding. Veterinary help must be sought immediately. The veterinarian will evaluate the pregnant sow by direct exam and by taking x-rays. If a vaginal delivery of the young is not possible, a cesarean section will be necessary.

Pregnancy toxemia is a serious condition that usually occurs in overweight sows in their first or second pregnancy. Signs are most likely to be noted over 1-5 days during the last 2 weeks of pregnancy or the first week following birth. These include inappetence, depression, weakness, reluctance to move, incoordination, difficulty breathing, coma and death. Some afflicted sows may show no signs and suddenly die.
There is no single cause for this condition, but stress and obesity are major predisposing factors. Others include advancing age, lack of exercise, fasting just before the onset of signs, and a large number of developing fetuses. The fundamental underlying problem appears to be inadequate blood flow to the pregnant uterus.

Sows showing any of these signs must be seen immediately by a veterinarian. Because treatment is often unsuccessful, prevention of pregnancy toxemia is of paramount importance. Pregnant sows should not be allowed to become obese. Fasting and stress must be avoided, especially in the last several weeks of pregnancy. Pregnant sows must be supplied with fresh water at all times and fed a nutritious diet.

In summary, my premature babies deceased case is most likely due to lack of nutritious diet, recently I noticed all my GPs are losing weight, just realized that all their teeth are too long and just trimmed them few days ago. In fact last month I just trimmed them, never expect in a month their teeth suddenly grown so fast.

Hello..I am Lao-Ta (means Eldest), a 5 year old boar Sheltie....today I am going to show you all how I play "dead"!



My mommy rub-rub my belly first, then I relax saja.....


Nice...still want to lay down in this position.


Mommy let go her hand, I still....


Until the dog also thought I am dead...came to check on me.

LOL! After you mentioned it, only then I realized my GP is indeed have very even color marking. Looks like wearing a tuxcedo.

Last time got one girl, her GP is slightly older than mine. She disappeared from LYN. Not sure her GP is still alive or not? I was the second oldest that time.

Yes, I trimmed my own gp's tooth. I learn this through my own experiment using a dead gp May be next time will upload that in my blog if I could grab hold of my son to help me hold the camera. Haha, my blog is quite a big hit, I could see many visitors traffic from oversea coming to my blog.

Not by word of command type. Can trick it to do play dead only.

Baby boom period coming again, 2 SOWs confirmed pregnant, 5 on suspecting list.

If all jadi, then will have Sheltie, Peruvian, Abbyruvian, Abby babies by end Oct -Nov.

Recently my Abbyruvian SOW given birth to 3 babies.

Very weird though, both parents are Abbyruvian, but one of the babies look like American short hair.

All babies following the father (boar)'s color, agouti, brown and white.

Leave it...if you pull the tooth out, then how is it going to eat?

Congrats! Big time baby boom!

The Abbyruvian baby that looks like American Short hair, now turn out to be Sheltie look-a-like, its fur has slight wavy and a bit fluffy. Interesting...!! This is how the mixed-mixed breed turn out to be many surprises. The Abbyruvian (Abby X Peruvian) gene I have probably is Shebby (Sheltie X Abby) gene instead. Their parents I bought from nearby local petshop. I thought they are Abbyruvian, now I should called them Shebby.

With this breeding experience, now proven both Shebby parents can produce a Sheltie look-alike baby offspring and Abbyruvian look alike baby.
