xavi5567, I just read your first few posts and it was so long and informative but I did not read until whether it says GPs can be reared in rooms or whether it didn't mention at all but anyway this is my question la.
Can i rear my GP in my room cause im afraid it causes my room to have lots of their fur in the air. Another thing I'd like to mention is, I have a cat at home and I reared a hamster before in a cage. The cat somehow managed to open the cage and killed my pitiful hamsters. Do you know of some ways to overcome this, other than lock my door when I'm out. I wish for the GP to feel safe if i am going to rear it.

QUOTE(xavi5567 @ Mar 30 2011, 07:35 PM) 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) 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. |

QUOTE(xavi5567 @ Mar 30 2011, 10:50 PM) 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.. 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. |

QUOTE(xavi5567 @ Mar 31 2011, 08:20 AM) 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.

Yea, that's exactly what i had in mind, have to make sure when the piggy arrives everything is adi like a hotel for it. |

QUOTE(xavi5567 @ Apr 1 2011, 02:30 PM) i tell u .. every1 or most of the people here would love to own a long hair 1.. but u will need to groom it once a week at least ( groom include--> comb, trim, wipe, touch up) .. do u have the time.. u stay in room, expect hairy experience if ur bedding is not fleece type.. because at least fleece type the hair stick to the fleece not fly around.. u need to comb it daily to keep it at jason condition.. mine i comb once every 2-3 days.. as mine piggy hair is straight and straight... not much tangled..wait till i show u mine house mate 1.. lol..hair very messy Hmm, i'll thinker that out, i think that should not be a problem for me if i put effort in it. I just went to Jusco and bought coroplas but I was looking for the cubes but there wasn't any. I guess i have to go daiso to look for it. does all daiso have them or do you noe of any daiso that can find it easily. Google results gave me IOI puchong, sunway pyramid, 1u and the curve. What is the price range for them btw? for the food bowl, can they be found in petshops or should i get them from the kitchenware department instead. |

QUOTE(TobbyChan @ Apr 1 2011, 07:16 PM) yeahh..back2natural is expensive  depends on how big you want your cage to be lor. plus u need to add extra since you will put a closure on top right? i think you just better use cable tie. Daiso also got sell one. TobbyChan, yea lor i need closure for it too, darn cat Cable tie can get nearly everywhere la, i go jusco oso can c, go giant supermarket oso got. wat i wanted to ask xavi was, 5rm can get how many keping, so i can estimate how much the cage will be in total. i oso cant afford big cage if the cubes are expensive. |

QUOTE(TobbyChan @ Apr 1 2011, 09:05 PM) Daiso got many size nia. This one a long one + the small one » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « depends on your space also. how you want to design it. try go daiso and see first la. from there you can see what size u want. cage is one of the expensive thing. u need to think about hay and pallet also. oxbow pallet rm39.90(alfafa) rm 49.90 (timothy). Hay depends. and you need to provide vege also everyday. there is a lot of things you need to consider before getting one. Tobby, the cage like that for 1 gp good enough ah? |
