I don't go to Pets Wonderland forum but since today I was bored in the office so here I am.

My story:


Currently I have 4 gp's in the house. Each kept separated. Only 1 of them is allowed to run in the garden as the rabbit only recognizes that one(the rabbit is super aggressive to anything else and has killed a new rabbit we tried to introduce to it). Also this gp bites the other female gp. The 2 males are not allowed to mix around with the females as we had enough of them keep breeding. All are fed pellets and different types of veges:
night to morning with hay.
Afternoon and evening with grass, bamboo, bazil (basically stuff from the garden that they like)
dinner they get scraps from the kitchen(carrot skin, apple skin, vege leaves).

PS: I admire a the cages people made in the first page but the question is how do u people clean up? The pigs poop like machine guns and one of them drink water and pee like a fountain.

Give them some time. What I did was slowly get them to get used to you. Feed them at certain time. Try and offer food. Eventually they will come and eat off your hand. Mine initially always hide under newspapers.

I refill at certain time. In the evening I will feed them fresh vege.

One of my pigs isnt eating. Vet said she has a blockage somewhere(not sure as it wasnt me who sent her). Even after feeding her the critical care, shes not getting any better. Any ideas what to do? Gotta send her again to vet.

Mine gets to run about in the garden.

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.

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.
