lol is not mine ... jus grab from internet to wish every1

it is all up to u... coroplast is there to give a solid ground... nothing else.. sometimes they like to dig.. so if no base.. all their poo will go down lor..

u can feed them ... or u can also intro them to other hay.. not necessary to jus feed alfafa.. u can try other hay such as western timothy, timothy, bermuda, oat hay, orchard grass..etc..

Manufacture:

twice a day.. 1 handful each time...

choke?? how it choke for the 1st place... buy some other hay which is more fragrant.. such as oat hay, garden hay, alfafa...and if they consume vitamin c.. let it consume it..

look like a teddy

try to go to pet lover centre.. last time i been there... i saw milk replacement for dog... it should be ok to be fed to gp as well..evaporated milk should be ok kot... but not sure not the cow milk thinggy... .. keep the milk warm at about 40 c or higher 45 c like tat...then only fed... tat should induce them... .. gp body heat is higher that human...

not getting the vital vitamin c... u fedding wat hay? alfafa right?

try give them red , yellow or green pepper.. those are high in vitamin c.. baby tomata also can..

those black dots are call static mites or hair mites..
normal look like this:

up close they look like this

they move when u drop some drops of vinegar on them.

they cause minor itch, not very serious... but u can give them revolution or advatage , solve ur problem in 3 weeks times

get the one for cats... for dog 1 too strong

vinegar slow way.. it might take up to 3 month and u must maintain the cleanliness of the cage and ur hay must be from a good source.. most of the time the mites came from the hay.. revolution would usually take 1 month which is about 4 application (once a week) then the black dot should be all gone by then... any way both way is do able... vinegar u can continue to use when u bath and clean ur guinea pig and its cage

tat 1 u need to ask cry cry liao.. she got experience there i think.. if not u jus drop by ask whether they can treat small animal like GP or not la..

it wont go away immediately.. but slowly it will ... jus take care of its surrounding..

u mean carewise.. ur piggies tame d? i found out 1 thing lor.. if ur piggies is kept at a enclosed cage, they are a bit timid, they are scare of people 1... the moment they c hand come.. cabut lari lintang pukang... but if u have a open cage system, they are more brave, curious, and friendly...hand come sit still let u touch...

food wise, jus maintain high vitamin c vege, my piggies staple food is, carrot, capsicum(red, green, yellow) , baby tomato, occasionally, green apple and banana..then the regular timothy pellet and hay lor.. i feed them twice a day only

toilet training wise... nightmare if u have many in a cage, 1 may have been train , the other will litter everywhere then the trained 1 also will litter every where... my way is a bit cruel... i totally cut down their water intake.. their water is totally from vege and fruits they takes only...at nights i let them have their bottle for half an hour b4 i take it away from them.. if not.. the cage gonna be so wet.. as they love to play water bottle.. drink it and pee ..

care wise, if u have long hair, u either trim it or care for it (comb, wash, comb) .. revolution and advantage medicine is a must have all the time to keep mites and lice at bay...apply once a week to prevent mites and lice.. as i found sometimes these mites might be coming from ur hay also...

topical, only buy the one for cats only.

ur pigs weight in kg / 10 = dosage in ml
example xxx piggy is 300g
0.3 /10 = 0.03ml of revolution on the the skin on the shoulder bone..done.. normally 2 to 3 application should do the job.. wait 2-3 week b4 each re-application



soli for my previous post: is advocate not advantage for cats... get the one for less than 4kg one...
packaging about similar to this..
dosage is 1 drops each application.

how old? unlikely for overgrown teeth if u feed them enough hay and pellet... pet store unlikely so sell older than 3 month up punya piggies also... usually those which die are due to infection, manges mites, stress...

its normal la... dont think too much la... u wont overdose them de la... jus give them enough water

hard to say... life is unpredictable.. there is no rules saying over 6 month they wont die easily... well at least he had a wonderful 6 month with u.. rather than cramp in a cage
