Petsmore is not stocking Hagen GP Pellets or Verse Laga Cavia Pro. Anyone know any other shops selling it?

I wonder why they're all out of stock (Or not stocking the brands anymore). Sigh...

Not sure how many owners face this , guinea pig teeth falling off and new ones growing out underneath.

I check my pig's teeth daily and yesterday it seemed a little skittish and afraid to be taken out of its cage. It couldn't even chew its favourite grass or vege leaves. So I checked its teeth and the two front teeth looked like it was snapped. It was snapped near to the gum area but the teeth was still dangling there.

My dad brought it to the vet this morning and the dangling teeth was no longer there. The vet said that the teeth will fall off periodically and new ones will grow out from under. It's completely normal and there's nothing to worry about.

Just thought I'd share it.

It was so scary....

Mine automatically lies down and closes it eyes when I put it on my lap. It behaves like a cat.
Train it with carrot bits or food that it likes (hand feed). After a while it'll trust you enough to be comfortable around you.

My fat lil' rascal can just drop flat and sleep anywhere now.

This is Milo my Abby-American mix guinea pig.
I'll be 3 years old this coming April.

Here is a video of it in the garden eating.

My guinea pig Milo passed away last Thursday morning.

It had suddenly lost its appetite and was having the slobbers. On the day I brought it to the vet, its 2 front teeth fell off. The vet said it was normal and that it was doing okay. Said I needed to just monitor it and I may need to bring it back for regular oral examination and teeth cleaning.

Milo was the same, no improvement. I chopped carrot into very tiny bits and had to had feed it. I had to hand feed it pellets and tear green veges into tiny pieces.

It would sit in the food bowl all day long. It's poop looked very soft and it's bum would be smudged in poo. Its mouth also smelled like gastric acid.


Not sure what happened to it. Died 4 days after the visit to the vet.

It was 3 and a half years old.
