have to force fed.. dont give it other vege for few weeks.. tat wat i do.. lol.. now anything also eat..

hahhha.. where he run to after u say take the whole thing? so cute.. mine 1... if u dont give .. malas mau layan straight..lol..

omai.. scurvy .. serious lack of vitamin c...

depends... but very low chance.. u need a critical pack and vitamin shoot d.. pls go to vet for further advice.. one of the most critical thing in GP care is weight... u guys need to check their weight regularly.. if sudden drop.. sure something wrong d.. ur case is very late case d... hopefully can be heal

soli to say... it is ur responsible to read up b4 taking it as a pet .. carrot don contain all d nutrients it need... u need good pellet , hay, other vege n fruits as well.. I find most of d new owner fed their piggy carrot , cucumbers, cabbage only it is only time ... problem will surface... pls read up 1st page b4 u decide 1 next time....

hahhaa.. same la.. mine also lov to eat baby tomato.. but i jus can make her do the turn around... hahhah... if i use the tomato to lure her to turn around can la.. but ask her to turn.. by saying turn.. " she will give me a death stare as well " lol...
u may ask ur gp to stand and play basketball as well,..

the chance of in breed from local pet shop or some newbies breeder are very high.. they often buy a pair straight out of the shop.. which often are sibling.. so nothing u can do.. their health, some might be more susceptible to disease and sickness.. but if u give them the right care and food.. they should do fine for at least 3-5 year.. on average a pure breed should live up to 5-9 year.... so in breed guinea pig have shorter life span..

changing ur bedding type.. wood chips or shelving is not advisable.. wood pellet is ok.. or fleece...

no problem... my piggies last time ate vege after 4 days...

welcome.. take some picture of them.. and share it here

pls check the front page... all the information needed is at page 1.., frontline is strong... normally we jus use revolution or ivermetin.. tat also have its dosage.. it depend on ur piggy weight..

mummy 1st timer? is she with another GP ? did u provide a fleece or something for it?

big chance she is stress ... plus 1st timer.. so can't blame her but u should b able to know whether she is pregnant or not through weighing her or noticing the size of her..

those shampoo are a big no no... either use johnson baby shampoo or pet shampoo... johnson baby shampoo is aint expensive.. u not gonna bath them all the time.. at most once a month to once every 2 month..

remove the dome... dome jus instill timidness in them.. so in order to build confidence.. left them at the open.. lol... tat wat i do.. provide shade but not hiding place.. jus make 1 part of the cage abit dark.. it is easier for u to toilet train them anyway.. becos they tend to pee and poo at dark places..

dont manja them too much.. jus provide them with a shade.. not a dome.. a dome will jus encourage them to be timid..

pls dont go to pet shop and ask for liquid.. pls go to a proper vet and ask for revolution application and antiseptic cream..

yea.. u better check ur cage.. giv them something to chew on instead.. and pls besure to give enough floor time to them, biting of the cage tell that they wanna come out and play..

Crys_Crys:

i guess u need to mix it with the normal type 1st.. normally when u wanna change the pellet , u need to mix it 1st.. let say 1:5 ratio, then 2:4... u get the idea... slowly only increase the ratio if the 1 part ratio is finished up.. if not jus maintain..

PrinceKhai:
it is advisable to used fleece as emino has said.. this is because fleece absorb pee quite well.. so ur piggy coat will not be easily soil and stained.. u need to have a toilet as well.. to toilet train them cover the toilet area.. i mean provide shade on top of it since u are using C&C , it is pretty easy to add another cube on top and cover the cube .. they will normally go do their business there.. but u still need to monitor them which corner they prefer.. once identify.. jus cover that corner and place ur toilet there.. the 1st few week wil be hard.. u need to constantly pick up their poo and place it in the toilet .. but sooner or later they will get the idea.. ** it will smell really bad if u dont change them tat is for sure... but i foresee u change ur bedding every 3-4 days .. so be prepare to have a few sets of fleeces... cleaning the pee <-- u need to have vinegar (any type) jus soak ur used fleece in vinegar for few hour and then rinse it with soap... u are all done..

PLC should be open..

erm.. they dont bite when u are around doesnt mean they dont bite at all.. wat cage are u using? what u put on ur base? easy said.. with a picture of ur cage setup, i believe most of us here will be able to identify the problem for u..hay also need to cut.. this is the 1st time i heard .. wat hay u feeding la? try give western timothy or bermuda grass , they are softer, or u can try oat hay, it is more fragrant so it open up their appetite..
