So it really isn't a big deal to keep them in my room i suppose

no laaa... i also keep them in a room, i stay in college only

got 5 of them, but stil ok

doesnt hv d flying 'bulu', haha

about d cat, yes, it wil get excited to get to d gp

its from my observation cz b4 dz i'd bring my gp to my maksu's house

she got a cat, n trying to open my gp's cage, haish...

Yer.. takot la lidat... the stupid cat will scare it until it lose half its life. Right now i have zero knowledge on GPs and I am fond of getting 1 to hug! I read OPs first few posts and started to get some information, feel like getting it la, but worry about the stupid cat... any known petshops in cheras ah?

Cheras? Y not u try looking from a homebreeder? u can try ask Juztiny, or tobbychan

i hv few experienced, bought from a homebreeder, petshop, n from breeder*......

end up wf 2 of them leaving me, huhuhuu

luckily i bought Timmy from xavi (a good homebreeder)

if u buy from a gp's lover, i believe u'l be satisfied also

i dont really encourage u to take up guinea pig as pet if u dont have a safe location for it..
they might be cute.. but they are not toy for jus hug hug.. they need constant care.. every day u must at least feed them twice a days with fresh vege and occasional fruit.. the hay and pellet is a vital for every meal as well.. u need to ask urself do u have the time and will to take up these responsibilities .. guinea pig can be vocal when they want ur attention.. so will u or any1 in the house stand it..
about the room thinggy, if ur room is well ventilated.. then it should be fine.. but if urs is a close room , prepare to be stinky.. even 1 day their pee and poo mix together will make ur room smelly if it is not well ventilated..
so dont get a guinea pig on impulse. think and rethink (things to think bout,--> time, financial, will, love and patient)

I second this.
Daily feeding with fresh vege is a must for them plus pallet and hay. Hay is very important for their teeth. Vocal yeah their voice can be like fire alarm really!

btw I have bear for adoption since humaiera can't adopt her anymore
Will only let her go for those who really really serious in taking care of bear.

bear bear is a gal or boy d ah? haiz.. i have jus adopt 2 hammy.. so no more times for more piggy.. lol..

haha, thanks xavi, i balik reply again, now dinner time

girl girl la..but the voice very the siren bomba She is not gadis ayu

she is a gadis sayu. hahaha

haha gadis sayur pon will do.since she love capsicum and salad a lot!

emino do poison me with your grandchild again!

which is why im considering the location i should place them and how much space i should get for them. I do understand the consequences for rearing a pet. This is not my first so i do know the factors that have to be taken into consideration. Although I like the idea of C&C Cages cause it feels so close the the GPs, you can grab them anytime you want but definitely a nono for my situation. Petstore Cages on the other hand is more safer I can find a way to seal it off from being wrecked by the darn cat but it certainly is not an ideal home for the GPs imo. I might be getting ready to get them so some of the things in mind are 1.) should i prepare the home for them before i get the GPs and 2.) who should i get the GPs from, i believe it is best to get them from some GP lovers here.

wat cats is this? is it the cat u are having as pet now ..? if so pls hinder urself from the intention... i dont mean to be straight.. but i m scare for the guinea pig sake.. if the cats u are taking bout is a stray cats.. how can it enter ur house? zoozone cage is actually not very suitable for guinea pig becos it will be stuffy for them after they poo and pee..

thank you very much, u r really helpful and saving my times to do research about the allergy.

Yea it is my dads pet, aiya, if u say zoozone cage is not suitable den i believe i best not get one atm la, my cat dont enter 2nd floor but i never noe wen no one at home la. Is there a way like i create a C&C cage but a way to cover it while i am out.

I think if i want to stick with the idea of rearing one, i need to close my doors at all times while i am out.

I will!! But I need to do more research to make sure I can keep em myself this time. I still miss abby thou.. cause she will just lay down on my lap watch videos with me T-T u got any updated bout her?

ya...she is now with my friend at johor... he sent me her photo no long ago but i just formated my lappy..will update u ..keke

ya, you don't want to make an organic furtilizer factory in your room with that happening

Anyone seen Kaoru lately ? pretty quiet...

C&C cage is highly customizable .. u can design it to be so .. jus use a bit of ur ingenuity... mine is a close top.. as my piggy love to climb.. but it still might not solve ur problem as cat are know to be naughty.. they will stay there play around with it.. even drag it out using paws..

thanks, i'll try coming out with an idea to give it more protective measure. any idea where is the easiest place to get chloroplast and the cages?

edit: i think i noe what chloroplast is, the one where we can use to seperate fishes in the fish tanks right, if so i think those can be found easily. but i think i have to find those cages in super/hyper markets.
