Ah V3, congrats !! Will be posting our (me & my gf) new baby pic soon, don't wanna disturb it too much yet Finally we decided to name our baby boy : Ritoru Boru or short form just Boru.

It means Little Ball in Japanese heh. And yeah its the brown + white color one. Was it from sharil? or other breeder?

Our boru seems very intelligent, knows how to poo in the toilet box d, peeing not sure yet cause haven't see. Currently seems to like apple cubes more than baby tomato, will try cucumber & parsley soon, we plan to just give him a small cubes of them only in order to avoid diarrhea. Boru also seems to enjoy himself sleeping in the foodtray =_="

Just wondering, are Uncle Taro Nutri-Smoothie suitable for gp? Planning to buy for our baby.

Well we literally use the English translation cause Ritoru Boru sounds better than Chibi Tama to us I see, means no smoothies for boru dang.. he still seem very shy with us, recommended period of time to leave him alone without picking him up/touching? Don't wanna stress him too much but of course his alfafa hay and pallet tray are always full.

Edited: woah this thread response damn fast... cant keep up lol

@jtl ur joan right? allright hope to see a good formula smoothies for gp soon.

@sharil_routh: the notty boy is from u ke? allright less cucumbers.

Edit: Actually my gf love the gp in sharil avatar haha

caramel 1 (boy), i think both are males or am I wrong

Haha I pity little Boru too, from got friend to now suddenly all alone in another place. Do GP need dim lights to accompany them during night time? or can leave them in the dark cause i put them in the same room I am sleeping, dont mind switching on my table lamp (light orange bulb) so not so bright during night time.

Allright so means night time can just off the lights right? cause they aren't nocturnal, scared they are afraid of the dark. Btw is baby chiko = My baby Boru?

I see, haha muffin is boru bro/sis then. Since same d.o.b

Yeah a little paranoid here, try my best to give them the best comfort.

Dang, my bad but we still have no regrets over Boru nitez

Boru is my gp, and yeah just know that the one in youtube is muffin

Boru's 50% done home, pretty much a temporary D.I.Y type of cage for him till my other GP cage parts arrive from US (Ordering soon here http://www.guineapigcages.com/buycc.htm) since I have been hunting high and low for Cubes in Cyberjaya/Putrajaya/Subang without success, even asked my relatives & friends from Kelantan & Penang also say don't have =_=". Seems like my zoozone2 is gonna be his playpent while we clean his home.

Shots taken with w800 (very yellowish) but decided to post it up since its the only shot that can see Boru


Shots taken with iPhone (much clearer but without autofocus)

Actually yes, but our head is facing the outer side in order to avoid hair drop into the cage. And we put a bolster beside it as a "border"

You mean human health or GP health? I use to sleep with my cats and hamster as well (once upon a time la) haha

Ah I see, thanks for the advice heh but still I am use to it already

@Rumizu & MooZz : Thxs for the advice too but I don't sleep directly next to him, we actually put a bolster & sleep abit far from him thou the bed it there.

@gchin_st : I always believe the bigger the cage the better it is, more space for them to run & play or hide. Planning to get another male as his friend around in 1 month time hehe so bigger is a must. If I can give him the whole room also I would but pity I am just renting this room, next time when I have my own house, I'll modify one whole room for GP only

hmm =_= how can compare human baby with guinea baby.... guinea piggy run run climb climb good wat, where got roll roll hehe. Anyway I get ur point, thxs but this home is sort of temporary like I said... waiting for Cubes to arrive.

O_O i kinda boycott carefour d for their lame treatment towards pets but I did try finding it in alamanda carefour... could have miss them.

Approximately RM 78.30 excluding shipping I think, but if buy in bulk its cheaper they say.

My girlfriend was holding Boru on her lap and Boru made some small wheek wheek sound while we were petting him, what does it mean?

I see, thanks to all that replied. Boru is still very shy, running and hiding when wanna pat him =_= always look very scared. Pity him. Sometimes plan to just leave him alone but that won't solve a thing right? need to keep touching and sayang him for him to get use?

Allright, I always put my hand in front of him 1st slowly in order to "tell" him I am coming, then stroke a couple of times and only hold him up (thats when I am lucky) but most of the time as soon as my hand is in the cage, he runs and hide =_=, should I pursue or leave him alone?
