Not really. I know they'd greet me when I wake up.

Guys, there's 3 GPs up for adoption. Anyone wants them better pm the guy and grab em.

since I joined LYN...
each and every day i started to haunt many threads to found out that there are lots of animal lovers here!!! and.. it made me go crazy

1st.. hedgehog because I'd loved them long before I join here and finally got one from a nice breeder...
2nd.. gliders... have became so addicted to them but unfortunately I'm not ready for the commitment as I can't provide a stable house
3rd... maltese.. well. this confirm to get one but not within these years
4th... syrian.. became that day go hunt with Jamien n hun.. lolx
5th... which is now.. guinea pig..

I guess.. If i have money now.. surely will buy all in one shoot and prepare to made my self busy with pets..

anyway.... just came in here and found out that guinea pigs are lovely
saw many piggie in pyramid before but never knew they actually are very lovely~~~~
now.. wanna ask some questions after i finish reading all from the 1st page

1. For 1 pig if i used cage that for rabbit can ar? like the one petshack have...
2. Is it possible to have only 1 gp? cuz I dun think I have space for 2 pigs... ><
3. Any different between male n female? I mean which one is easier to handle?
4. Hmm... what else??

Well.. these Q 1st then.. sorry if this has been asked before... maybe it pass through my eyes when reading it

Jamien : gp or syrians?

i might want to let my GP free adoption too... i just bought 1 bigger male to him... and they will fight sometimes...

Muchan~ you also kena poison here? Hehe... Anything you can message me mar. Actually myself also kena poison suggie dy but no space and no parents permission yet. gotta wait for next time.

For your Qs:
1. As long as the cage is barred on the top for ventilation and the bottom part is basically like a rectangle with no bars, then you can use it. The ventilation is important to prevent heat stroke and the flooring area cannot have bars or it'll cause the GPs to develop bumblefoot, which is a infection of sorts. Any shape or design of the cage is otherwise fine.

2.Yes it's possible to have 1 GP only as long as you give it attention. You will become its only source of companionship. And maybe some like my house punya Kiki don't like other GP so must stay alone. But all my GPs are housed seperately.

3. I think the difference is just size. Males are bigger. And I read that males MIGHT mark their cages. It's a funny smelling greasy thing their body produce to mark territory. This is a might because I don't know anyone's GP who actually marks their cages.

4. GPs are herbivours. They only eat vege. Don't give meat lo. They are like us in the sense that their body don't produce vitamin c on their own, so we mus give through vegetables and fruits. Must give hay to keep teeth in proper size and digestion healthy. Can toilet train. Can bathe. Can let you hug hug and touch.

What else you wanna know? hehe...

Muchan, I like both syrians and GPs lor. Hehe... Syrians are cute, nice to see and have fun with. GPs are better for company. Can put on your lap when you watch tv. Seem to better understand you by the things you do. It will know you're scolding because it did something wrong. It will pay attention when you talk.

And you should see my Micheri. When I lie down watch tv put her on my stomach, she will slowly slowly step by step start climbing up to my face. She think I dunno she doing that. Then she'll groom my face.

Go get one lar. Hehe...

piggies can watch tv together?? can give attention to the owner???? OMG, this is what i'm looking for!!!

Err... Yeah. But don't expect them to be like dogs lar. You really should see my Micheri. When I bring her up to my computer room, she'll watch the screen when I watch anime and turn away when I stop watching. She'd sometimes lick the messenger chatbox area on the screen. Kinda funny.

But if you want to talk about attention, they'll squeel squeel in the morning when they see you for food and sometimes company. One of their features that I like so much.

and also, gp not only easy to take care, looks cute, pet-able n pamper-able, well responding to owner, and also hav unique personality on each of them... evry piggies hav thier own characteristic... n is sooo adorable when u see them show different characteristic...

Gosh, i couldn't agree more.

Girl girl is the biggest GP in my house. She responds EXTREMELY well when you're holding food. It's like she'll burst right out of her cage to be with you (and the food).

Kiki is very independant. She likes to wander around o her own. And she gets jealous very easily. Once, she wouldn't eat her vege because my sister was playing with someone else's GP and not her.

My Micheri is the sweetest girl. She's never bitten anyone. You can hold her and play with her however you want. She likes licking faces (actually just mine). When you stroke stroke her and stop stroking a while, she'll groom you wherever she can like a signal to tell you "don't stop lar".

Absolutely wonderful creatures.

hey my GP got a white spot on his skin, like kelemumur...
how? is it lice?

anywhere i can bring him to cure it?

i cant have a dog coz only rent a room here...
so, i need another pet..
will decide whether i will have gp or not after my semester break next month...

my 4 piggies characteristic~~~


aby is the eldest (few days) than those 3 kids.. but his character more like a girl than a guy... will oik loud.. anything he dont like, he'll use his head push away... n he is the magiciant to cheer up evryone n could make evryone popcorning once he available... he is the leader or core of the group..

torty love to eat... a vry quiet but vry reliable partner wth aby... love to stick to aby only... suspecting he is racist!! coz he(normal breed) dont really mix wth the other 2 abysian, except aby only... is it the age matter? the breed matter? or they r not staying together?

blackie has a vry happy character, always popcorning... love to eat too~ oiik loud for food... but he eat gently... he having a vry soft gentle character... sometimes got bully by aby a bit... poor thing...

chinchi vry manja... love to oiiiiiik loudest for attention...same as aby, always use her head to push away things which she dont like.. the most choosy on food...

hee..

Of course can.. maybe next time if have gathering at pet shack, i will bring mine.

lol 4... but that's good.. never heard they fighting with each other...

take good care of GP... i will too...

Are u going to pet shack today?

sharil : u're going to petshack or u already there by now huh? if u're there... maybe i can go there a while lar..
to inspect gp stuff and to see how many should I spend if really getting gp.... now 50% sure oni... but still wan to wait till semester break and see what else I have to know before having gp


Jamien : wanna ask again!!
there are normal, aby, and sheltie breed right? basically... what's the different of these breeds? I mean for the way to treat them? as for sheltie I know we have to comb the fur to make it nice right? how bout the other 2? well.. sheltie confirm not for me if i really gonna have 1 pig

I'm not going today.. hav some work to do.. very sad..
But dont worry my students (Jack/joan), hahaaha.. will explain to u what basic necessities dat u need for GP.

While waiting jamien answer those questions, let me explain explain a little bit.. hee...
The different between those GPs are their fur, Abby hav rough coat that has cowlicked rosettes of hair, normal hav straight and short hair and sheltie has long hair that flows back over its body and never forward over the face.
Daily combing will help remove some of the loose hair and lessen shedding either its sheltie, normal or other types of breed, except hairless type. hee..
