how long is their life span lea ??

ha...i duno tat i would b that bad..all is the sales person recommended to buy..I will stop put the deodo..haih...kesian my dudu.
i alaskan her cage with suratkhabar,and i change the suratkhabar everyday,to remove the pee n poo.can i do this actually?

Yeah you can. But better put some shavings cuz shavings absorbs pee faster and beter tha newspaper. Actually sometimes shop just wanna untung, so they will tell us things that are not true to make us buy. You're not the first one to kena la. That's why we should all research before we get something.

@Sharil: Congrats thread owner! How about putting basic requirement on the first page? Like cage (and cage size), comb, bottle, ceramic bowl, etc etc.

Can also put a list of food that's high in vitamin c for GP nourishment.

@klaze: GPs have an average lifespan of 6 years although the record of oldest GP is 14 years old.

Ok.. i will update later.. need to go now.

haha..go bak kl only plan how lor
still left half pack of hagen now...
for two guinea pig..n they seldom eat the pallets...
llol.....

I thought you say they like Hagen?

I always buy 2 brands of different GP food. When they seem bored with one, they will eat the other more. I decided to give up waiting for the kaytee premium rainbow and buy the kaytee fortified.

yea ...when i at cyber..
they like to eat pallets
but now i at my hometown..
they jus eat vege n hay more.....
haha...mayb my mum supplier more fresh vege ...

The sound as horrible as my GPs. All ar, got hay and pellets, will make a lot of noice when hear people open the fridge door, open plastic bag or chopping someting.

But fresh is better for them. Remember that GPs survived without pellets before they were domesticated. They lived on fresh food. So fresh is better than the commercial food we buy for them (although pellets do help to make them healthy).

haha...i sure give him alots pallets everyday..
but it depends on them whether wanna eat or not..
coz i oso put hay put vege...
alots for them to eat..

my sheltie really duno wat is dirty..
he always pee n poo on small place..
then sleep on there..
OMG...make the fur so dirty n smelly..
haihz....clean how many times oso no use

Just toilet train your Sheltie. Then he won't lie there. My Micheri used to do that before I train her also.

My dad came back with a lot of hay, hagen, etc etc to stock for our GP before price rise. But he bought some GP food got seed wan so my hammie are getting those. Hehe...

actually b4 i change sheltie to the coroplast cage
he almost know wer to pee poo...
but when i change him to coroplast....
he always pee poo everywhere......haihz..
only success in cage....

hope can toilet train Amy only..
she got shorter fur...more clean..
lucky..

Sure can train wan. It's like he move into new house dy. He dunno where the toilet is, so he just use anywhere that look like toilet space to him. Slowly la.

Exactly why I don't want sheltie... Butt fur so long, when pee and poo sure kena.

i stocked up a kg of hay n 6 kgs of gp food.
i feel so kiasu when i pay the bill. haha!
anyway pet family having an extended sale now so it's worth it to buy. moreover, i think the price there is among the cheapest in town (if + member card, of course).

i'm considering to buy the texel @ pet safari. but today i went there left onli 1 n i dun really like the color either. am hoping that they would have more texels in the future n hopefully, a more reasonable price

my gps love hagen + ocean free pellets. but most of the time they eat fresh vege & carrots though.
i've always bought kool bunny hay.
bill is okok la. good thing early of the month so still got $$

the texel i saw was white + brown - maybe it's defined as orange? not sure.
but the maggi mee hair look so cute. hehe!

i thought of breeding my female gp before it reaches 7 month - she's very healthy and pretty so very wasted if don breed. this afternoon i went shopping for a male gp. so sad man... ikano's one all sold off and those at pet family not so attractive cant find my baby a handsome hubby
