OMG, my Piggies got the hair mites too. When I Close see it the mites were moving up and down. Yucks.. I used the guinea pig shampoo to shower them with warmth water... then rub their fur. After finishing showered, I then let them ran around. Finally I put some baby powder for them and guess what ? they look happy. I did use vinegar with towel to clean around the cage, changed new bedding. Hope this fine after what I've done so far to get rid of the mites.

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 doh.gif ..  laugh.gif

care wise, if u have long hair, u either trim it or care for it (comb, wash, comb)  sweat.gif .. 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...

Wow, I got it.. Thank you for all the information and I will get them the revolution from the vet for ICE. notworthy.gif

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...

itu choco ah.. still recovering from her recent manges mites  sad.gif .... 1 month application of advocate liao.. hair growing back...  sweat.gif

He was about 6 months++ . Yes I did. I fed him everything. He got no stress. He was extremely active. He knew how to manja me. I still cannot accept the fact that i've lose him. He was the 2nd piggie I got. I thought if the piggie got 6 months old will not be died so easily but why? cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

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

My another piggie is still very innocent. I afraid that he will feel lonely. Is that a best way to replace him a female now?

blink.gif the infection that bad? pity choco. Convey my kisses and hugs!  biggrin.gif 
My Totty live more than2 years with me. I also dont know how he died. my friend suggest maybe because a heat stroke since nowadays super hot. But yeah life is unexpected. But knowing that we already care them the best we can is ok enough smile.gif
At least they didnt die because starving and all.

2 years. What breed was your Totty? Sometimes I have no idea why my piggie love to pick what they love to eat... Aren't them love hay and pellet? icon_question.gif

Totty is a white crested breed. Black short hair with white crested on top of the head smile.gif

You pig alone now? No other companion? I believe they will be ok if you spend time with them a lot. My Toffy alone for almost 6 month before I got her a friend since I always outstation. What type of pellet you give to them. Mine is Oxbow brand and I always give them high vit C vege. Believe it or not I rarely give them carrot. Maybe 2 times a week. Most of the time I give them capsicum, spinach and salad.

So far with the diet all my 4 guinea pig (now 3 after Totty died) doing great. Do you weekly weight your gp? With this you can track if they have sudden weight lost. Weight loss indicate they are not eating well.

I afraid he is lonely so I got him a female companion. But the female is just too young I can't mix them together now in the same cage. The male will go excited and seemed like wanna rap her rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif Where did you get the Oxbow? Do you placed them the bedding too? wink.gif wink.gif

Well, I didn't weigh them, but I know my piggie is pretty fat now doh.gif I can say he is a real piggie that love to eat only icon_question.gif
