Guys, can I ask why GP thread don't have care guide on first page ah?

Duno.....didnt have any moderator update the info or guide for guinea pig...
n didnt have any extra page on 1st page for edit........
mayb have to wait until V3...

their care is different from hamster ?? alot or lil bit lea ?? haha i dont knw how to check the condition... for me .. i choose the healthy pet is depend on whether thy active or not de

of course different..
gp eat gp pellets only and hays.. and has to be fed with fresh vegetables and fruits for their source of vitamin c regularly.. no seeds or nuts on their diet.. need big/wide cage cuz they like to run around.. use cage instead of container cuz they need the ventilation.. have to throw away their poo everyday if u don't want to get a mountain of poo.. how bout if u do some research first before getting them.. if got anything to ask, u can also ask us ere.. sharil, jamien, juztiny, jaswwp, hun, reanne have lots of experiences in keeping gps..

@JTL: No idea why first page don't have also. our TS hardly comes into the thread.

Their care is different from hamster of course. Because they are not hamster mar.

Necessities include:

1. Cage (budget: RM 100) - Please get a rather large one. At least 2ft x 1ft if you can't afford any bigger. GPs grow pretty big, about 27 cm in length (for males) if given the right nutrition so they need ample space. Buy those cage with bars on top but without bard at the feet area. Can cause bumblefeet if they keep stepping on the rails. GPs need proper ventilation or they might get heat stroke.

2. Food bowl (budget: RM10) - Please get a ceramic bowl that can't be toupled over by your GP. Consider his head size so he can comfrtably fit his head into the bowl as he grows larger.

3. Water bottle (budget: RM10) - Get those like Living World bottle lar. Don't ever put water in a bowl as ulternative because stuff may get in the water and foul it, and if ur GP drink it it will become unhealthy. Make sure you get a bottle that fits the size of how much your GP drinks daily. My Micheri drinks more than 50ml a day.

4. Food (budget: RM 20) - Please buy brands with enhanced Vitamin C. Don't buy those with seeds in it because it will poke and hurt your GP's mouth and throat. My 3 GPs at home love Kaytee rainbow premium pellets but dunno why don't see it selling anywhere.

5. Hay (budget: RM 25) - Hay is VERY important. It helps with your GP's digestion and keep their ever-growing teeth in their proper size. Babies should be given alfafa hay for the extra calcium content. Seme adults should start eating timothy hay, which suits their requirements more than alfafa, although alfafa hay can still be given as a treat.

6. Bedding (budget: RM 25) - You can use common wood shavings you can find in the store but please stay away from pine or anything scented as it is very bad for your GP.

7. Nail Clipper (budget: RM20) - You can get the clipper for small animals or small dogs. You can use the human nail clipper but using the animal clipper is so much easier. Please read up on how to clip their nails. Clipping into the quick can cause bleeding and discomfort for your GP.

Additional:
1. Chew toy: Not sure if GPs chew. My GPs just "hot hot chicken shit" chew a while then don wan dy.

2. Hide house: For them to feel safe. It helps them to feel that they are protected.

3. Comb : GPs shed. So a comb is the proper thing to buy. For long hairs like Sheltie and Peruvian, you must comb daily or it will matt up. For short hairs like American Satin(or the Normal) and Abbysinian, You don't have to comb daily but doing so reduces shedding.

4. Vitamin C - You can get those vitamin C pills like chewies for your GP. GPs are like us in the sense that they do not make their own vitamin C, so they have to get it through their food intake everyday.

Addtional infor:
1. Please offer vegetables everyday. You can google for Veges high in Vitamin C.

2. GPs are herbivorous. Please don't offer meat.

3. Having contact daily wth your GP creates trust. Then they will want your company.

4. GPs like living in groups. But there are some exceptions that don't mix well with others ( Like my 3 GPs at home).

5. If you've decided to buy a friend for your GP, please be sure that they are the same sex. Or your GPs will breed non stop, which is bad for the mummy GP. To prevent inbreeding, please don't buy 2 from the same store (if you insist to breed them, please read up).

6. Please buy from a home breeder if possible. Some petshop GPs are frequently underaged and underaged Gps might develop problems when growing into adults.

7. Please supervise when your GP has flooring time with other pets. Dogs may be vicious to it, etc etc.

8. GPs can be toilet trained! Then all you have to do is empty the toilet daily while most of the bedding remains clean! GPs are quite intelligent so toilet training is quite easy!




That's about all I remember at the moment. Hope it helps.
