There are many places that sells cages. Pet Safari, pet family, pet wonderland, etc etc. I would say that Petaling street has the best deal for cages if you want a new one. Otherwise, you can just get a good second hand one right here in LYN. That's even better.

You can also DIY one just like Moozz. Just make sure it's big because 2 GPs need more space.

Jamien, I try search pet shop at petaling street before but i don know where.
If near at dat area I just know Wildlife zoological and petsmore.


@Jamince,
Before I forget for their diet esp hay don forget buy the quality one,

U can go to Pet Shack, Sunway,Pet Shack site or u can order from Chinchillas,Chinchillas site. They are the best !!!
(dont forget my commision u guys, hahaha.... )

U also can get their pellet at pet shack also, chew toy etc.

hi guys..
really wanna buy the texel but still thinking hehe..
usually, if i want something so badly that i always dream of it, then i'll buy it..
but dis texel still didn't play around in my dream.. maybe because i didn't see it with my own eyes..

Actually there are many other pet shops selling good cages. You see many of them selling birds right? Inside may have good cages. I don't agree with the way they keep pets but their cages are cheap and even negotiable.

Hay is very very important for GP's digestive system as well as keeping their teeth in shape. If they're teeth are too long they will be unable to eat and will die if not brought to a vet immediately. So do give hay to avoid this kind of complications.

@Rumizu: If you see the texel I think you will drool in the shop and just have to get it even more. I can't say no to a normal hamster, GP, whatever pets. How can you say no to a texel??

huhu Jamien..
i'm already half-poisoned now..
i know they're cute.. but kinda hate the fact that kl-melaka will take 2 hours journey.. huhu..

U said u GP die hard fan...

How come u cant take dat risk..? hehehe.. joking.

I try go to pet safari just want to look dat texel but now always rain other then dat far from my house.

ohh,, dat one la pet shop kat petaling street i thought there's other beside dat.

I posted the same question in a few pages back. My question was "does anyone had an experience where the GP will barber herself". BTW are you sure she's doing it to herself or the other GPs are barbering her?

I suggest you house the 3 males together and the female by herself unless you want her pregnant. I think males can bond with one another as long as there's no femaale around to fight over.

@jamien

so hows ur girl girl now? did she recovered?

i saw quite few times tat chinchi bite her own hair off frm tat area... her thigh area is bold now n the area increasing!!!

i bought her frm ikano, with another black piggie frm the same cage wth her.. joining her&blackie wth another 2 older piggies, i didnt see them fight... they mostly chase&run wth each other, smell each other butt, n jump jump jump... wen i separate them into 2 cages (blackie&she in 1 cage, aby&torty in 1 cage), both side piggies will trying to look for the other sides piggies...

seems they having good relation... m i right?

bite her own hair?

maybe they ithcy so they try make them feel better so they bite it, coz hav lice at their fur? hmm.. its just assumption.
I never see my piggies hav dat kind of habit.

I brought her to a vet. I know she's doing it to herself cuz she's housed alone. Vet checked her for lice and mites and fungus. Then gave her some cream and mite infection shot just in case lor. They say no mites, lice and fungus.

She's better dy. Hair grew back.

my amy n sheltie look hapi together..
but only in my sight....
other than eating n playing..
they sleep seperated.......

PHEW>...

But I feel your cage is great wor. Worthy to be an example of creativity and budget-saving.

You better make sure you watch them while they eat also. They can "hanky panky" anytime, anywhere you know...

@Sharil : Which GP you talking about. My house got 3 mar. I also wanna see your GPs pictures~

i was wondering how big can a aby n normal gp grow?
cant wait to see them big big~

Juztiny mentioned about 27 cm long. Look forward to it.

hi guys.......

did u know what the best extra food that i can giv to my gp.........?

beside apple, cucumber................................

Anything with high vitamin c. Broccoli is good. Tomatoes, orange, carrots, cauliflower, corn, green pepper, kale, and berries. And basically most dark leafy vegetables.

Just make sure you take out the seeds first. And don't give too much of those sweet veges.
