GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Mine is like that too!

Heeeeeeey! Been wondering how they were doing.

They look great in the picture and Coco Crunch looks like its grown bigger.

Hey, here's my bit on DIY.









It was hard work, but when I saw my little piggies happily exploring their new cage, it was worth every drop of sweat.




(Yeah, you can bet that I got an A for my Kemahiran Hidup )

Nope, their legs won't get stuck. The holes are small so they can walk around properly. I line the ground with newspaper too, so I can do spot cleaning everyday. I find it easier and the cage keeps cleaner longer. Then after a week, I clean the entire cage. It can be lifted. The bottom canvas acts like a slip-on diaper. So I simply carry up the cage and empty the canvas into the garbage bag and rinse it clean.

I plan to make another one. The normal cavy cages are a real hassel to clean and needs cleaning every 2 days or it starts to smell.

Damn tiring...

When I asked the harware shop aunty for 10ft of wire, she was like:

Aunty: For your gate is it? You want to keep the darn cats out?
Me: No, I'm building a cage for my guinea pigs.
Aunty: Huh? Can keep pigs in your house meh? People won't complain, ah?

Hahahaha, people are so funny.

Just thought I'd share the cuteness with you guys.

Hahahahahahahaha!
It's Abby type, like Tobby said.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose something you care dearly about.
Pet shops are a bad, bad place to buy guinea pigs. There's a reason why they are cheaper than home bred guinea pigs. It's because they are produced in masses and not many are healthy. If you have visited GP farms, you'd never want to buy and GPs from there. The cages are crammed with so many GPs and babies are born in all that chaos. A lot of inbreeding occurs which usually leads to many diseases and short lives. In the future, perhaps you could get one from home breeders here. And if I'm not mistaken, Bengy Pellets are only for rabbits and not for guinea pigs (though the label says it's okay for both).

The little babies

My current setup.
Penthouse
Bachelor Frat.
Family Quarters.


New babies, born on the 16th of May.
All having red eyes despite both their parents having black eyes. So strange...


Caramel Fuzzy Bunny and Mocha Milo Bunny Crunch have gotten so fat!
That's their mom over there. Babies are 50% abby, but their fur is like...not-abby. =_=

It's Woody Pet Professional Animal Bedding. Comes in pellet form. I tried so many beddings before but this seems to keep the smell away the longest. I have to put cardboard coz before this their droppings would somehow end up on the floor and one GP has a habit of pointing and sparying his pee out of the cage. =_=

Anyone want want to adopt this fellow? He's a year plus and his cage mate is begining to bully him.


I am out of cages and he needs to be rehomed as soon as possible. For those regulars here PM me. I can trade him with timothy hay or bermuda grass (Sun cured). .

Toffee Nut Crunch


Teddy Bear, also known as the Little Peanut, now 7 months old.



PS: Can rolled oats be fed to GPs? My mom gave them some the other day and they seemed to like it a lot. There are a lot of mixed reviews online, some say it's okay, some say "CANNOT!!". So I'm confused to whether it is okay. So far my guinea pigs are doing well.

5 months old and above.

But you should breed female guinea pigs (first time) when they are too old. At 7-12 month of age the female’s pelvic bones fuse, making natural delivery next to impossible

No, no, no.
When the female gets older, it'll have more difficulties to deliver the baby.
So, when it's around 6 months, it should be okay.
Read up more about it before breeding please.

Hey, can someone tell me where to get fleece for lining the bottom of the cage? Thinking of trying out new material.

Thanks.

I'm letting go these 3 female babies. They're 2 months old.
Anyone interested, just pm me.

No time to take care of so many anymore.

no breeding them until they are old enough, ok

Shower time!

Did you touch the babies? Or was the surroundings noisy (stressful)?
Maybe that was the reason. Or perhaps you didn't provide enough food for her.

My GP just gave birth to 3 pups yesterday and all is well. There was blood on the fleece cloth but that was to be expected. Also, there was no sound when she gave birth. I woke up and went to feed my GPs like normal and saw the 3 newborns. I gave the mom a lot of veges and hay to eat. The pups are all running around now.
