Hi all,

I intend to get a guinea pig as a pet as my hamster died a few months back and I am feeling lonely without a furry animal T.T

Question is, where will the pigs poop/pee? do they do it amongst their bedding which then I will have to do spot cleaning?

Is it more advisable to get a bottom wired cage (but I'm afraid it might hurt their feet but I read at forums they said its better as the poop will frop to them bottom making it easier to clean ) or a plastic bottom with bedding?

Thanks.

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.

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.
