Yea he will stop at a corner. Yup he got treats like apples from us but sometimes he would just stay there quietly on our lap without eating the treat. Then after like 15mins only he'll start eating.

Here is how Boru looks like :

wohoo GP thread is so happening

My GP also gila apple hahaha, btw welcome to the club

Went back to Alamanda Carrefour and saw the cubes. RM 199 8 cubes pack somemore the hole (gap between 1 metal bar to another is quite big ), then shopped for fresh carrots in Cold Storage and Red Capsicums (Cost me bloody RM17+ each for capsicum) thats why can't save when having pets, gotta give them the best.

Yes very expensive, I haven't order my cubes yet, just planning only but since JuzTiny said Carrefour got sell then I went to have a look again. Not sure same size or not but I don't think its suitable for small animals =_= gap quite big and boru can run away if he wants

@ everyone : Anyone can own a pet, but only a handful can provide their best to them most pets are abused and neglected everyday thats why some GP communities insist on "adopting" a GP from a shelter instead of buying one (Don't think Malaysia have GP in SPCA) but my point is, their intention is really good. I respect those type of people.

yea i know that link but i still scared he jump and run out or chew the coroplast till got 1 hole & escape thou i have read before that GP dun really try escaping from their cage.

Really RM199 ler I saw =_= I also stand there and keep looking at the item cause really plan to buy but my gf keep saying "think carefully, cause the gap is big" and ended up didn't buy lo.

here is the link and the best part is they do international shipping http://www.guineapigcages.com/buycc.htm

No doubt zoozone is the better cage out there in the market but still I regretted buying zoozone2 as I consider it small. Boru can hardly run in the cage which is why I made my own. Check here for the zoozone review which I pretty much agree : http://www.guineapigcages.com/petstorecages.htm "Hagen Zoozone". 1 GP needs minimum 7.5 sq ft while zoozone2 only measure around 4.25 sq feet

Holy cow.... Rm500 O_O I can build a grand palace using C & C already hahahah but no worries, zoozone2 is still the better one out there. How come didn't notice that cage in petshack

Yeap zoozone2 is so far the better one thou not the best la but still for that price is good enough if own only 1 GP

My GP Home set-up is also similiar to JuzTiny or Rumizu.

I put coroplast, follow by newspapers (3 layers) and last put toilet mat so Boru wont chew on the paper while allowing his poo to drop under the toilet mat. I only use Breeder Celect + shredded newspapers in his toilet tray to absorb urine. Clean the cage every Thurs and Sunday.

What is a Toyogo box? if its a plastic container then I suggest you better change it, NO plastic containers are recommended as it has very bad air ventilation. Check here for example of good cages http://www.guineapigcages.com/index.htm. Woodshed musn't be pine based as it may cause breathing problems and some are toxic to them.


Small box is fine I guess but what type of box ur using? Some box may be hazardous to them & yes do leave them alone for a day or two but of course still feed them la.


NEVER feed the baby piggy with too much cucumber or carrot or cause it may cause diarrhea. Their main diet would always be HAY. For baby piggies below 4months old must be fed with UNLIMITED Alfafa Hay cause they need all the protein they can get. A good brand to consider is Oxbow. Once they are older then you may start feeding them with Timothy or Oat Hay. Fresh fruits and vege must be serve in moderate proportion e.g a small cubes or stripes of carrots and apples.


Don't use water cap!! a water bottle is always the best in order to avoid contamination which may make ur gp ill!!!

I suggest you should had make more research and readup before purchasing it but its a lil too late already. Always remember never budget when owning a pet. Give them the best.

Add on: Do lots of reading in this forum http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/index.php or ask around in lowyat forum. Read Common Misconceptions about Guinea Pigs and their Care as well http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/specia...their-care.html

Oh yea the water also musnt be those chaplang tap water. Always give them boiled filtered waters or else they are gonna have stones in the future. Operation is gonna cause more than a basic water filter. Take good care of ur GP & PICTURES PLS!!

Floor/Toilet mat price usually range around RM16.90 for a 6 piece set. Manage to get mine for RM 11.90 in Subang Pyramid Jusco. Alamanda Carrefour and minimart/hardware shop around cyberjaya/putrajaya are selling them for rm16+

No problemo, glad to be of service nitez

Guinea pigs sleep with their eyes open and they take short naps from time to time that totals around 4hours per day. its their nature since they are at the lowest in the food chain pyramid. So chill yeah think of a name !!!

Does your GP move around alot during bathing? Haven't bath mine yet but soon

He made it himself

RM11-20, depend where you buy it. So far Jusco Subang Jaya sells the cheapest : RM11.90 for 6 pieces. Yesterday Alamanda Carrefour suck my RM20 for the exact type of mat zzz

KL area? Just head to ur nearest shopping mall and visit any hypermarket such as Parkson, Jusco, Carrefour, Giant, or Tesco and u'll be able to find them

No prob, regarding sending ur GP to the vet, if you have the extra cash its really advisable to send them for maybe vaccination and anti flea/lice injection. Then send them maybe every 3months for regular health checkup as prevention is better than cure

Not sure cause depending which vet you go cause some are really overprice while some charge quite reasonable. Gotta let other forummers reply this.
