I think the proper word is "stale" for the hay. GPs under 4 months are recommended to have alfafa hay. It could be that it's not that fresh. Next time, choose the hay that looks more green. I also find that my GPs prefer grass than hay. They eat a lot when I got them timothy grass but less when I feed them timothy hay.

Fresh hay. Get Oxbow hay or hay from Chinchillas, confirmed super fresh quality.

My GPs all prefer fresh hay and do not like cheap brands like Bengy.... sigh.... they eat expensive brands, plus love drinking vitamin C water heheheh.

wanna ask...

Added on May 25, 2008, 2:37 pmIf your father can even spot the hay is "dry n yellow" I think your hay is already a bad hay, don't even use it to feed your pet.

I see I see. then I suggest you better go and get greener and fresher hay. Those stale hay doesn't have the nutrients needed by your GPs anymore because the nutrient quality is already lost. So there's really no point to make your GP eat it.

Your dad has a point. Who will eat someting that is expired and not good already. Go get a new pack lar. If your GP can't finish fast then get a smaller pack. Then u can give them fresh hay all the time.

Hahaha.. mine always finish it everytime I put. Now the 2 weeks old babies already eat it and also veggies.

but tats the most greenish wen i bought it frm pet family...
n i getting the smallest pack, 500g...

saw GP for salein Pets Wonderland.. rm35 for normal n rm48 for abby, peru... is dat the price?? anyway, all seems not healthy at all!! n some hair are soo thinn... lice i think.. better watch out lo...

Then try changing brands. Maybe that particular brand is not appealing to your GP. It happens to my GP.

juz wanna know, can a baby gp eats some timothy hay? cuz i've ran out of my alfalfa so i gave him (btw, now i already knew that the baby is a he) some timothy.. is it ok?

one more thing, i found out that a small rat got into my house and i noticed that it came from the hole below my back door.. did it got attracted by the smells of my gp?

juz now playing with my baby, named him Kojiro, after a japanese swordman.. his fur is getting thicker.. when i put him on my palm, it looked much like a furball.. kawaii...

I think the rat attracted by ur GP food. Coz I always monitor my GP when I gave them food, then i can see uninvited visitor coming. Hahaha... Just be careful if the rat eat the GP food, scare the food will be dirt by dirty rat. .

Yes, it can eat a little. But alfafa hay has the sufficient nutrients a baby GP needs while it's growing so you should go get some as soon as possible.

I'm pretty sure the rat's not attracted by your GP. It's very unusual for animals to crossbreed that way. They're totally different species. Probably interested in food as sharil mentioned. If the packet got bitten and the food eaten by the rat i suggest you buy new food. You know... rats aren't very hygenic.

How old is he? Good name.

Thanks guys..
but i did put all the pellets inside an air tight container..
btw, i tot the rats think like this: "Hey, this house got some smells just like me, maybe i got a friend inside".. haha.. just imagining..

Kojiro is 2 months+ i think..
now already knew how to oink2..
and likes to sleep on my laps/chest..

Hope can see his new appearance, I can imagine when his fur thick he will look chubby. Ahakz~

How come others country GP look very chubby, fat?
I hope mine also like dat coz when they chubby, they look VERY CUTE.
Especially when I watch GP from Japan, WOW !! SO CHUBBY!!

Yes, get Oxbow. They're a bit expensive, but there're one good reason to buy even at the high price - the nutrient and the good quality!

I also purchased Timothy from Chincillas. They're fresh, sweet smell and crispy... I'll purcahse from him again once the previous one finish...
