Coronet has special look, like thick eyebrow-like hehe..i like it..

Hmm..like flip open the fur, can feel d skin texture a bit rough. Sometimes there are dandruff, but like once / two flakes..no bald spot , no reddness, no inflmmation.

Like this?

Man, that looks like a grandmaster for piggies

Grand Mistress! Ahahaha

lol sry my mistake

If everything goes well, might pick up a cagemate for my timid lil girl since everyone from local vet to the dudes in petshop keeps encouraging me to get her a friend.

Yess..they always look old altho might b juz baby gp..hehehe..

It's not because its not popular. Its because its rarer, thus often priced higher than the rest. And you know us Malaysians, we like cheap cheap stuffs!

And yeah, thats the mum of my previous batch. I missed them dearly.



I hope thier new owner treat them well.

true also..and yea they are WAY MORE expansive than other breeds..yea i saw those lovely babies but tat time i was not ready to take in gp yet.My gp sleep with me in my room everynight..LOL..air conditioning privileges

my friend better - -

his aircond spoil , and the guinea pig super super pampered.

will wheek if no aircond!!

so my friend had to open the fridge and let it sleep inside lol!!

Yeap, i bathed my gp before with baby johnson shampoo.

Last week i bathed once with vinegar too coz getting rid of some black dots on the fur. So according to the steps, once a week vinegar bath, so i bathed today again.

wow spoilt gp..aiyo if my gp become like tat habis la

hmm..do u think the vinegar might be the cause?
black dots maybe is the seeds/residue from alfafa sumtimes stuck at the fur..last time also i saw in my rabbit, i tot my rabbit got mites but luckily is just the alfafa residues/seeds

erm.. dont bath them too often liao.. the more u bath.. it will dry up their skin soon.. did u dilute the vinegar? i think u should not bath them once a week le... try go for once every 2 week..

Yea..diluted d vinegar. 1:10 ratio right? I juz put a few drop, then dilute with warm + cool water. After bathing, i used baby johnson's powder then groom the fur too.

Ohhh..i tot shud tapper down d frequency after few weeks tim > < Aiyakkk...

Olive oil cant use oh?

Added on July 3, 2011, 2:43 amDun think so is residues/ seeds le..coz after a week, is still there...but lesser in quantity i think.

If condition still persists, maybe i will get ivermectin from vet then...

yea bathing frequently causes dry skin..think it's ok to rub a little olive oil

dont simply ask for ivermectin injection..ivermectin is for parasites oni..not for skin problem..if skin problem cause by parasites then yes oni use ivermectin..actually ivermectin injection if take frequently can cause liver damage to any animals so dont simply take oni when it's needed

err..i dun think u shouldn't use johnson baby powder..coz it's talc..u wanna use powder i suggest u go for Pureen corn starch powder..the label is light blu(normal pureen is dark blue which is also talc)..can be found in pharmacies,sumtimes i see in tesco,carrefour..if not u buy the rabbit pawder lor from plc

Oh icic! Thanks for the detailed informaton!

Is there any topical application for ivermectin instead of injection? It said to be the only way to cure mites.

Next week i will b going to kl, i will go look out for powder suitable for my gp. Btw, how often cn we use d non-talc powder on gp?

ivermectin is the drug..no matter is u use topical cream or injection it's effect is the same just different route of administration and probably diff dossage in the medication

after bathing i suppose u can use a little after u blow dry the gp just so tat it's not damp..i just saw it selling in guardian just now

ivermertin is injection... very painful to the piggy.. revolution is topical application.. but it act the same way as ivermertin.. need to know the weight of the piggy b apply.. usually apply to the spot between the ear there.. it is only given if u really have a mites, or lice issue..

haha!!sure.. 24/5 rite? hehe!! love him..
