Having trouble introducing my new Rex to my old skinny pig ... they are both male and about the same age (6 months)

Rex is more of the dominant type whereas Skinny is submissive. Did the buddy bath and it was okay but yesterday went to sleep with a separator in the middle of the cage and somehow Rex managed to burrow through it and bit the skinny (luckily only one mark)

People are saying that fighting NEEDS TO BE DONE as they decide on dominance. But it is painful to see my skinny getting hurt

Any ideas how I can introduce them?

dear friends, if there are any young guinea pigs for first time owner, pls inform me. i have a friend who's well versed in care of small animals to aid me if i have question. getting all the stuff needed now...

i & my gf will be taking care...

Tadaa built this for my sweetie little noty girl

Hi,

has anyone fed their GP Genesis extruded food pellet before?

currently feeding mine Oxbow Cavy Performance (Cause he's only about 5 months) but am thinking of switching to Genesis but there aren't many reviews about it online. Was wondering if anyone has tried Genesis? Your comments are much appreciated.

Also, my GP has a fungus infection on his foot, any recommended cream for it and where to get it? Also, what's the cause that he got a fungus infection?

Few others told me to get fungal cream or aloe vera oil but i have no idea where to get them.

Thanks.

i asked the same ques at another forum.
the members there said the calcium in genesis is too high and better stick back to oxbow.

is it? so if eat too much what happens? will fall sick? I think Genesis is good. the fur really becomes smooth and silky. my other frens also gave genesis to their piggies. so for me, i think is ok. but once in a while i do change to other ciplak brand cuz dun wan them become picky later.

my piggies eat genesis. no problems for me. their fur really smooth and silky. once in a while i will give them ciplak brand so i saw the difference. btw, i've never tried oxbow. where can buy this brand?

so the few others who told u to get the cream... they dunno where to get ah? last time one of my piggies got fungal infection. just bring to vet and the vet will pick a skin sample and check and give u the medicine a few days later.

how are they now? last time i divide them both in different cages but put them side by side and suddenly one day they just calling for each other. so after tat i put them together they started popcorning. until now no fighting.

This is such a nice cage!
where do you buy the C&C cage? been wanting to build one but I always cannot find the cage. so frustrating.
what do you use for bedding? is it fleece? will it smell?

what i noticed from my pig for having too much calcium is the urine is in a milky color, slowly will cause bladder stone.
that time i gave her cheap pallets then her urine straight away turn milky so i stopped.

do you face this kind of problem while giving her genesis? if not then i am thinking of changing to genesis too because i noticed genesis products always got promotion and the greeny pallets look so nice.

oh milky white? umm, so far my ones dun have, oledi more than one year old from young feed genesis. their urines are clear. sometimes let them run around while clean cage so will suddenly step on their urine but since it's clear u dunno it was there.

yalo genesis always got promotion tho expensive but my piggies will clear their bowl, never leave one biji also. if i change to ciplak one they will keep complaining for better food and then leave it in the bowl. so wasteful.

yay! can have second choice for my pig oledi.

luckily for my pig even i give ciplak brand she also finish
but for veggies she is picky, only likes romaine and kangkung.

oh kangkung also can give one ah? haha
btw, ur previous post u said u feed ur piggies oxbow. where to buy that?
i always buy my piggies genesis pellets from pets wonderland or pet lover center but i never seen this oxbow brand before.
or maybe i have but never notice the packaging? hehe

Hi anybody want to buy guinea pigs? I have 2 male Abyssinians to sell. reason to sell simply because my mummy piggy just have a set of 5 pups and i can't take care of them all.

PM me for more details and I will conduct a short "interview" because well, I'll be really pissed if you turn out to be a breeder or just someone looking to make fast cash by selling them at a higher price. I'm looking for genuine ppl to care for my piggies. PM me if you're one. Thanks.

My pig loves kangkung the most lol.
I bought it from pet lovers centre. Petsmore also got.
Try to google image "oxbow cavy cuisine". The packaging is red in color.

The price I survey before Plc is the cheapest with member price. Hahaha

From what I know, it is true that too much calcium is harmful to adult GPs.. For baby GPs it's ok cause they are still growing.

Oxbow can buy at Pet lovers centre branches, and oxbow is more expensive than genesis. Based on other forums I've read so far best recommended pellet is oxbow la..

And my Gp loves oxbow, finish it most of the time. I guess I'll stick to Oxbow for now cause his fur and stuff all looks good to me (soft and shiny) plus I feed him veggies everyday

Only problem is he hates alfalfa hay , never touch them. So I have to give him Timothy hay only he will eat.

As for the cream, I found it at PLC also called Natural Pet.

ok i will check oxbow out.

Oxbow user here. Been using Oxbow for more than 5 years now.Tried Genesis before, I found my pigs better with Oxbow. So will going to stick to it


How old is your pig? If he is more than 6 month old stick to timothy hay. Alfafa got too much calcium for them.

Hi! I bought the C&C wardrobe from Groupon deal for RM118 plus delivery then Just fix it to the size or pattern you want Yeap that's fleece I wash it once a week no smell oh... I recently bought a litter pan for her. she is litter trained so it really save a lot of the time for picking up poop haha.. only once a while she simply wee2 on the fleece.

aiyo so good! i tried to potty train my piggies but failed miserably eventhough it's their favourite spot... maybe cause they keep pee2 and poo2 everywhere in the cage except there. SIGH....
