Anyone know the best place to buy a hairless guinea pig? I believe it's called Teddy as well.

Saw one in Pets Wonderland MV but not sure if it'll still be there when I want to buy it ... Aiming for Xmas purchase.

Thanks!

Hi all,

May I know how do you clean your GP?

I have recently gotten myself a hairless guinea pig and I think a weekly clean is essential to maintain cleanliness (avoid parasites or sickness)

He is a lot more active and friendly compared to day 1 but it still is quite hard to actually carry him and him not running around due to fear.

I purchased GP shampoo but it is quite hard to handle the GP as he is still very shy. Pet shop is recommending me like a powder wipe where I will just wipe the powder on him and wipe him clean.

So may I know what brand powder are you using and where did you get them?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link

Much appreciated !

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?

Sorry to hear about your experience.

Not trying to defend her but my experience with Nico has always been very pleasurable:

1. I buy all my GP food supplies from Nico and my pigs love them all (timothy hay, pellets and alfafa hay (in the form of pellet, the pigs LOVE this)). Her hays are one of the freshest I have ever purchased and it's all individually packed the night before actual COD. Say you buy a 5kg load, each bags are packed 1kg individually so you do not lose its overall freshness.

2. She was very helpful and responsive when I wasn't sure what was happening with my pigs (1 was feeling unwell) at 12pm midnight. Yet she stayed up to help and ensure everything was ok.

3. Her time is usually quite packed, so I will always plan in advance to collect from her.

Perhaps there was a miscomm between both parties with your initial intent to purchase, perhaps you can try again in the near future

I just started buying from her 2 months ago so our "relationship" is still fairly new. Anyway, too bad then
