Hi there,

actually the eyes discharge is common only if you buy from a pet store especially from pet wonderland as they didnt really take care of any of the pets there. i bought my first baby there and a week after that, i need to go to the clinic as he get infection, due to low vits and do not had healthy food at the pet wonderland.

the best is, you should send ur guinea pig first to the vet, then after he is ok, then u can buy the new one. as the disease can spread really fast among guinea pig, so i suggesting the best is, you got to clinic first.

1. Just get 2 guinea pigs , they dont really need humans companion .
2. As long 1 day 1 time can d.
3. Just dont move the box too much.
Other info :

You need to be very careful with gp. They can get sick easily and they wont show sickness till its very serious.
They also poop and pee alot. Are u prepared to clean them everyday?
You need to give them GUINEA PIG pellets not rabbit pellets or they might die.
Give them a good space to walk about , they exercise by that.
I bought a few guinea pigs from pets wonderland and i tell u its my worst mistake ever.

My first one died of some intestinal disease. i had it for 5 months + , so its not pw fault i guess.
My second one died of upper respiratory infection. i had it for 1 week only.
My third one died out of no reason , i had it like 3 days.
My fourth one died the same disease at the first one. had for 2 week only.
My fifth one had URI TOO!!

If you are interested , i have a tri colour short hair gp for RM40.

BEWARE OF THE EYE DISCHARGE!! MY 2nd , 5th and 6th GUINEA PIG HAD EYE DISCHARGE AND IT ALL ACTUALLY HAD UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION!
THEY ALL HAD THE SAME SYMTOMS AS URS! GET IT TO A VET QUICKLY TO GET EYE DROPS!

Unless the discharge is liquid type , its okay cause that thing is what they use as soap to clean their face.

mabrofloxacin!! did the vet teach u how to apply? u applying orally or topically? this is medication for cat and dog.. so hopefully u get the right dosage for ur piggy..  from wiki-->It is particularly used for infections of the skin, respiratory system and mammary glands, as well as with urinary tract infections in dogs and cats. For dogs, a dose of approximately 2 mg/kg is used. The duration of treatment is usually at least five days, longer if there is a concurrent fungal or yeast infection.

urs is 200g = so should be around 0.4mg only the dosage..

Marbofloxacin should usually be avoided in young animals, during pregnancy where central nervous system accumulation can occur, or when there is an existing kidney problem. Under certain conditions it can cause discomfort such as cramps, treatable with Valium. Other side effects are vomiting and anorexia.

i bought 1 from petwonder land and die after 1week also... Waste my Rm58!"

i think he typo.. ya.. 1 month piggy should be around 250- 300(home breed well fed)

The new babies:

size wise yes jus shorter leg... like a 5 month old cat... lol. 

emino :
maybe due to the teddy mix rex .. which I remember form American...

Rex and Teddy mix.

Dunno yet whether their hair will be frizzy or curly like their parents. But sure looks like it.

bcos it d common breed unless u got d pure American breed n not Malaysia bred short hair.. it won't grow as big as other breed n they have longer nose compare to other...

^ you can use wet tissue. Gp dont need bath often so just use the wet tissue and it will be fine.

new pic the one with red eye like his father and the short hair (her parents are abbysinian)

Come to think of it. My Sotong stopped wheeking ever since then. Lol. No more painful experience I guess. Although occasionally he run too fast he fall down and flipped over. Still no sound. The only sound was those honking sound when he's running around

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. =_=

That's to show who is the BOSS !! hahaha

well put their cage near to each other so they can sniff and see each other and communicate

i have the triangle toilet tray already.. i used to have to change towels/fleece daily.. now just clean the tray daily.. much easier.. i think Yu Wat don't know how to drink from the bottle.. so when im having bonding time with her, i pushed it towards her mouth.. a little water dripped out, and she was smacking her lips.. gonna do it a few more times and hope she will learn to drink from there.. haha can give her treats if she drinks on her own, right?
im not sifu, but im just wondering.. i read that it is better to quarantine the GP first, in case of infections or what.. but buying from trusted breeders should be okay, right? because i'm planning to get a mate for Yu Wat as well.. so i'm interested in your scenario as well..

hahah ... u should try to take photo of them side by side .. that will be cute!! herm .. why u need to bring them to KL every month??

it will be cute see thier size difference 

i see i see.. i bring my Yuki to travel also ... so far she went to ipoh, kampar, melaka, penang, seremban, mantin 

yes u have to make sure water is enough for the baby ... and also, if u realise it is too shaky for her to drink ... den hold on to her carrier ... make it as stable as u can

I don't know ur GP la.. but my baby when i tell its ok to drink water ady, she will go drink    duno is it she know listen to me .. or she just knew safe to drink
