call hands n paws in pj, ask for dr jenny's email. she only contacts through email and you can set up an appointment from there.
she specializes in small animals, especially guinea pigs.
been taking ours there for past 2 years.

Any suggestions on where can I get selfed color, silkie guinea pig?

Hi Lyn piggies, I've always wondered if I should get a pair of guinea pigs. When I'm studying I don't have the money, now that I'm working, I'm afraid I don't have time. I work from 9-6pm. Is guinea pig suitable for me? Can they be left that long? I have a dog too BTW.

If you're getting a pair its fine. Else no. GP are a very social creature, they need constant companionship be it you or their own kind.

Also will your dog bark a lot? GPs are easily startled and can suffer heart attack (serious woi) so barking might stress them out.

Nope, my dog rarely barks at all. My dog will be outside the house and I plan to keep the GPs in the living room. Is it better if the GPs keep in my room? Scared smelly and noisy la. Plan to get a pair of sows.

Guinea pigs are normally very quiet creatures, often the only sound u hear from them is when their on plastic and they start scratching their body.
This only applies when its not feeding time where they will yell the lungs out to get attention. Regarding smell, as long as u dont have irritation to hay and u clean the cages often then it should be ok.

Thanks yadea. How often do you clean the cage? I saw in YouTube they clean it daily with fleece as bedding. I don't think I have the time. I just ordered 2 GPs (1 American, 1 Abby) and am preparing their cage. Planning to DIY.

Anyone have experience keeping their GPs on artificial grass mats that we can find from home stores?

Sorry for the late reply as I was busy clearing up my backlog.
Daily pick up poop.
Weekly bath + complete cage cleaning + replace the sawdust. Dont forget to wash the bottles as well. During this time I will let the big one roam around in the garden freely while the small ones I will leave them in a cage top on a patch of long grass to help trim the grass

Im not very sure about fleece but probably gotta maintain the daily picking routine which I heard fleece owners do.

I was at a Pet shop just now and saw this himalayan guinea pig with a price tag of RM700..
Didnt expect that it is 8-9x more expensive than a short hair
