i fed oxbow cavy perfomance to hazel, she likes it but its makin her pee calcium a lot. Should i keep feeding her that or switch back to hagen? but i feel like hagen pellets are too big for her to munch

edit: forgot to mention that her pee is not grainy or coarse, so no worries about stones *phew*

continue ur current oxbow pellet.. until 6 month and above.. it still can be fed after 6 month but in a 1:3 ratio (1 is ur current: 3 is the cuisine)
peeing calcium is normal.. no worry there..

you can practically get everything at Daiso stores..

wire grids, baskets (as a hay rack, if you want), connectors and/or cable ties, ceramic bowls, plastic bowls (just cut away an opening and turn it upside down, to make its hide house), fleece (100% polyester).. those morning towels, can get at practically any hardware store..

get some good hay, pellets, and 1 pig or 2, bring to a full boil and leave it to simmer for at least 20 minutes before serving.. oh wai-

hmm what you planning to do with lil yu wat? tongue.gif

My hazel is givng me lots of cockstares. especially when she hears noise. Once even after flipping herself while scratching =.= Is it normal for them to only eat leaves n not stalks of hay?

washing fleece is easy only i teach u the easiest way.. buy 12 feet fleece(normal kain kapas) from ur local kedai kain... then cut them into the intended size.. u should be able to get at least 3 set... 1 week maybe u only use 2 set... buy a big 1-2 litre chlorox (i advice u to buy white colour fleece) when u change the fleece jus soak the fleece in chlorox soloution for 1 day.. after that rinse la.. no need brushing at all.. interchange ur fleece when washing or drying lor..  whistling.gif

sounds like a plan, will try it out then. N issit ok to cut out empty tissue boxes n use them as tunnels? coz my housemate has few lying around

I'm planning to switch to timothy hay + cavy performance+ vege combo coz i'm worried about the white pee. That should be ok for a 3 month old piggy right? Somehow i don't think its safe even when it's not coarse.

k i notice my piggy jumping and running very fast around the cage for the past few days usually after the lights are off, first i thought she juz popcorning. But today she seemed react that way everytime i tried to spot clean her cage with the brush. Is that normal? shakehead.gif

Edit: After checking out some vids in utube, that's definitely popcorning. But why for spot cleaning? hmm.gif
