I jst got my gp few days ago fr Ikano, but I'm not sure wat's the type?
Bt the fur wasn't short, long or curly hair... normal length.
Got 3 colors, Left face was brow, right was black, middle & body was white... then back was black.

It cost me $85, there got other type like spike hair oso around $30-$40.

She can eat & drinks non-stop, except during sleeping. N poo a lots too smile.gif

Today I realised 1 of her eye was barely open, like got sth sick around her eye. I try wipe it with wet cloth, it looks better now. But that eye was smaller than another, Im not sure wat's problem? Did it get hurt or got infected by some disease??

Pls help... thanks.

* try check her fur & ear, so far nothing found smile.gif
Bt is it normal tt when we brush / stroke her, some hair wil drop off?

Yes, my gps will also jump like that (popcorning). Usually, after cleaning and 'redesigning' their cage and tunnel. Will jump for at least 10 mins with some purring. So cute watching them.

However, today i am quite sad to see one of my gp botak at its back (ard RM 0.10 coin size). Will take them both to see vet tomorrow. I have no idea what could cause it and to other gp owners, which vet is good in treating this and how much  estimated treatment? I plan to go to 'Hand N Paws' Thanks

I just bought the toilet for my Jingle and now train her to pee and poo on it by putting some of the used and wet (wt pee&poo)bedding in the toilet.

Hope that she will not disappointed me lah..... tongue.gif and will learn how to use the toilet asap.

I was thinking to change another brand of hay for Jingle and Jasper because the brand that i bought is not fresh. Previously i was feeding them Alfafa hay and i will buy a timothy hay tomorrow and try to mixed 50/50 for both of them since both of them are less then 10 mths.

p/s:Hi Chinchillas, do you sell mixed of both Alfafa and Timothy hay for each 1kg? I would like to buy 1kg for each of the hay to let them have a try 1st. Pls PM me the best price.  Thank you. smile.gif
