sob sob ..... my guinea pig (chimchim) died last night.. so suddenly T_T he was having heavy hiccups which was jerking him quite violently.. i had no idea why he was like this. I picked him up and checked on his airflow... then he was lifeless ......

I only had him for... 4 dayssss.. he was only 3 months plus

Bought him in Pets Wonderful @ Mid Valley... he was one of the most handsome gp I ever seen... he has his own style as well... but he wasn't active at all.. maybe he was already ill when we bought him

Here.. i wish chimchim runs free and wildly to his little heaven

This is my first time having these cute little fella. I didn't know we must first bring it to the vet for a checkup because I assumed that pets from such mega wonderland will have them checked up before selling them I learned my lesson.... Now having phobia to get new ones again... cuz it's so heart breaking to see them suffer

BTW, not all types of vege they can consume. Esp cabbage. Google it yeah just in case you dont know about it

I bought it last Saturday around noon time. At that time there were many GP not for sale due to fungus infection.... I picked chimchim cuz he was so handsome and sitting there quietly (maybe he is already unwell that time =( ) ... btw, nice GP u have there... so miss mine now

I dont have chance to witness chimchim's growth.. sigh.. but its ok... next time will be extra careful when handling my next GP...

I wonder where did u guys get the customized cage... After chimchim's death. now i took extra care for the other 2 GPs which I got it from the same place. This time I spent some time to look into it.. choosing the bigger size (which is deemed healthy?) also asked a lot of questions about GP care from the chinese girl (Kathy) and she is indeed very helpful and GP lover

Now I spot the different service received when I bought chimchim and Healthy (Kin & Hong) from Mid Valley. I was served by this short haired or bald malay guy which they said it's a new staff there. No information given and he placed chimchim in the box without giving any wooden hay and food so pitiful... haizz... lesson learnt here...

So now.. for kin & hong.. they r very active and very manja... hong alw bullies kin which is very adorable acts and kin alw seeks for attention when we passed by.. like purring I will soon upload their pictures... but right now I m seeking for bigger case for them.. gonna get them more toy and "houses" for their comfort

it means ur GP is having an upset tummy.. feed her with more vitamin C food like fruits? Observe for 2-3 days.. if it gets worse please bring ur GP to small animal vet

Me too!!! I will upload Kin & Hong pictures later.. they love fighting for foods lolz

lol... fighting for food is more appetizing ma.. even humans too... fighting for foods more excitement and delicious

Ermm.. perhaps you can put some honey into ur GP's water bottle.. it's good for them. But I bought a bottle of vitamin C which is meant for GP only.. you might ask for the assistants for the right product also same, pour some into the water bottle for them

i bought RM21

cutiebaby, thanks for the sharing.Please do not feed ur piggies with premium as these food are more for hamster than guinea pig. They cant have corn or nuts in their pellets because the nuts or seeds tend to stuck in between their teeth then it will hurt them. I did bought one for them and they dun eat at all i guess they know it is dangerous for them or they are picky type of gps... ur gps are really adorable...

[/quote]

Chubbyagel, thanks for your advice I thought the premium one is for GP only because of the big big GP's picture is on it? Also, my GP is picky... they dislike eating the adult pellet.. (the green pieces) and chose to eat hay and sunflowers seeds/corns only what is your recommendation then? What food you're feeding ur GP

It is highly recommended NOT to feed them seeds. The best pellet is Oxbow pallet. How old is your guinea pig? if it is below 1 year then need to feed then alfafa based pellet and if more than 1 year then timothy pellet.

you can read here for more info http://www.guinealynx.info/nutrition.html

You can give them vegetables. Remember guinea pig are herbivore animals and they cannot produce their own vitamin C. So it is important for them to received enough vitamin C in their daily diet.

Here the link for their diet.

I feed my piggies with timothy Hay(as they are adults gps) as per Tobbychan said baby gps feed then alfafa hay..then twice fresh vege breakfast and dinner and unlimited hay with pellets...I used Hagen...although a little strong smell but my piggies only eat hagen if feel others they dun touch it...picky gps... the older they get the more picky they are...
Oh ya i got a funny incident happen at my home...I feed my piggies timothy and also grass (forgot the name) and then I tot my piggies so clever eat all the hay I feed them...until the other day I clean my balcony full of bird shits and all...and saw bunch and bunch of grass at the balcony...the birdies so clever used my gps hay to built their nest....almost pengsan when I see tat...even birdie also bully my gps...

Stylist GP u have there Mine is also the same. As I always wondered if they're real siblings itself as the so called 'smaller' but 'bigger butt' GP (kin kin) will always follow his big brother (hong hong). If he's left alone then he will make a lot of noises like crying or complaining?? If hong hong is there, then he iwll either run with him or just stick very closely to him - Like two big fur balls together

wow!!! pretty GP u got there!! What breed is it

LOL!!! What did u get the baju!!! I want to dress my GPs too

btw.. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and LOVELY GPssss............

Happy New Year, happy 2012 to all GPs owners!!!!

pls specify ur choice of pellet and hay?

ok, got the info.. will get back to u via PM

OMG.. certain pictures of it... looks like a puppy!!! so much fur
