faster post pic le....

Ok ok. First one is girl girl. She looks a bit like a panda. White whole body except her buttock area, 1 leg, her ears and light black markings around her face. She's the biggest size and most garang.

Second dark brown is Kiki. She is exactly the same on both sides. I will name her Mocha if she is mine. Very brave, likes to walk around. Very easy jealous.

Third is My Micheri~ Very sticky to me and love to hug hug~ She also likes to groom faces and is the most intelligent. Easy to train and very disciplined.

hye all, im new here. this is my piggy, robbie.

@Tolly : Don't have a lot of pict also show us some ler. HEehe... You bought at Midvalley got mites or lice? Must be very cute.

@Demon: Hahaha... Thanks for the compliment. And yes I like sugar glider but Girl Girl is family. Cannot give her away. Have to boast a bit to say all my GP got their own redeeming qualities. And they're so gonna stay virgin all their lives so don put too much hope ya.

@yanamichiyo: Such a cutie! Reminds me of my friend's Piggy. How old?

i got him as a bday present, so i am not sure if my fren knew the exact age.

but i estimate he shud b around 3 months maybe.

1 Q, can i mix normal piggy with abys?

im planning to get a fren for my robbie. poor him playing alone. although he loves my company.

i was surfing the net n saw so many possible diseases for gps that are pretty complicated.

just a question - have u guys put ur pets to sleep before? i know it's pretty common for dogs, but anyone done this to gps before?

LOL....jamien.....
worth.........
trade a sugar glider with ur GP.......

@Tolly: Yes you can mix different type of GPs together but I suggest u get a male companion for your Robbie? And also do a proper introduction before making them stay together.

@Bubbles: I heard the cost is the same as putting a dog to sleep. It would break my heart to put my GP to sleep. Never thought of it...

@Moozz: Cannot!! Family is priceless de ma. How can u trade family away. Some more so many people admire her so her value rise jor. HEhe...

yea that is his cage, but i usually let him wonders around in my room.

Nice weekend to everybody..

Some useful pointers for all GP lovers..

GP hygiene
-----------

1. Bathe GP once a week. Mild shampoo for kittens like Bunny is cost saving and good.
Avoid night bath. Noon bath is advisable. Either put them at a warmer place to dry or blow with dryer.
NOt advisable to keep them damp for too long.

2. For male GP, check their testicles DAILY and remove hairs or dirts stucked to prevent infection and swelling.

3. Put newspaper at tray bottom and wrap the newpapers once every other day.

4. Use greyhound comb to groom their hair and apply baby powder without boric acid, at least once every other day. You
will have lovely, sweet smelling darling.

5. Annually, once a year, purchase 10 mg/ml (concentrated) Ivermectin from vet at the right dosage, drop only one drop
at the bare skin part near the ear. Once every 2 weeks for 3 months.
Overdose is deadly. This is for fur mite prevention, cleansing and treatment. Mange mite, a seldom case, is another story.

Prchase from:
Klinik Haiwan Subang Jaya
No. 19, Jalan SS15/4E, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor.
Dr. Sivabalan.
03-56332459

6. If they have lice, white kutu, treat with Advantage, never Frontline. Advantage is sold in Pet Family, Tmn Megah, PJ.

GP diet
--------

1. Overfeeding with vege is the common mistakes that leads to deadly diarrhoe. Always maintain the following rule.

Standard:
For a 4 inch diameter bowl with 1.5 inch height, fill 3/4 of that bowl with chopped vege and chopped fruit per guinea.

This amount will be just right.

2. Get a bottle of tablets Flavettes Vit C, 250 mg. Split one tablet into 4 parts. One guinea will require around 50 mg.
Crush that quarter part and sprinkle it on food daily. Guinea cannot manufacture Vit C, they need supplement.

3. You can mix guava, apple, celeries, carrots, other greens like sawi, spianch...etc daily. Shred and chop them fine.

4. Important, give them endless supply of good quality timothy hay.

5. To prevent girdiasis, refill bottle with water that is boiled at least every other day.

6. Once a year, deworm your guinea with Metronidazole (Flagyl). Can get from Klinik Haiwan Subang Jaya.

GP diarrhoea home treatment
-----------------------

1. Symptoms: Watery and messy stool, guinea stays at a corner.

Attenttion needed immediately!

First, go to pharmacy and shop, buy these:
1. Immodium - medicine to harden stool.
2. Ors - Oral rehydration salt
3. 3 ml or 5 ml syringe without needle
4. Vitagen or Yakult

2. Add a little oral rehydration salt into water and syringe feed the patient every 2 hours to prevent dehydration.

3. Give Immodium once a day. Just a little bit will do.

4. Once a day, syringe feed good bacteria Yakult, Vitagen. Not too much though.

5. On the second day, it's important to force feed the guinea to prevent his system from shutting down.
Crush his daily guinea pig pellets and leafy hay to fine particles. Use your hand to shove it into his mouth and let
him slowly munch and swallow. Feed him 2-3 times a day..


It requires tremendous patience, care, time, effort to pull the sick guinea through. It will recover within 3 days the
most.
Please follow a good guideline when giving vege to prevent such trying moments as diarrhoe.



GP Injury
----------

1. Most common injury/infection is Bumblefoot infection. More info on Bumblefoot:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumblefoot_%28infection%29

Bumblefoot happens with those GP kept in wire cages and mattings with holes.

Check their foot pad every week to see such symptoms. Apply yellow solution to the infected area.

If it occurs very very frequently, then you should consider changing to other matting.

2. Red/swellig eyes.

Purchase antibiotic drops for eyes that is meant for us, from our clinic and drop one drop per eye daily.

Actually the cage is too small for your GP. Even twice the size of that is not enough for 2 GP. Hope you can purchase a bigger home for cute Robbie.

Thanks silverwenius! The tips are great! But wouldn't bathing GPs once a week cause their skin to be dry?

Gp can eat dragon fruit????
coz mum jus bring alots for me..
if they can eat...i can share..haha

true2. he was small when i got him. nvr thought he can grow up real fast. i just got back from cage hunting. no luck though.
