hi... new in here..
anyone know where can i buy or adopt Abyssinian gp or Abyssinian mix gp in Cheras or KL area ?

Because..2 of my gp pass away cos of Urinary Tract Infections just after 4 and 5 days they stay wif me.....so so sad..

i buy 3 of them together...just don't want them to be lonely because currently the shop left 3...

if buy 1+1 (not lonely) -------> 1 left there (alone)
if buy 1 (alone) -------> 2 left there (not lonely)

the time i buy them, i already notice 2 of them is extremely skinny...not supposed to be skinny like the fur is attached to their bone only....but, will you ignore and don't buy them even you know they look sick? because i was hoping them to grow fat fat and cute cute and *quikkk quikk* for me d....

just the first day they arrived, the two look not very active, so i thought maybe new place is not comfort for them yet..

2nd day still the same...eat also less ..just pick carrot only...

then the 3rd day...one of them start bleeding...

i separate them one by one...and quickly ask my sister about it ( my sis is a vet doc )...she ask me check and she told me the symptom is show UTI...she will try to arrange some treatment for me but had to wait till Saturday(another two day).

the next day morning, when i wake up.....so sad... one of them pass away.....
then, the other name "pudding" d gp start look so weak...i'd no choice but to giving more carrot and comfort for him..at night, he became active back, "queking" asking for eat and jump around like nothing happen.

the 6th day night , i should be bring him back to treatment after i came back from work, but just when i open my room door..it's a dead silence...i sense something bad happen to pudding and walk toward their home, my sense was accurate like hell....

too bad...
too bad.

now let a gp name "Evil Queen" alone...she is very healthy and not effect by them, looking at her size with the other two you'll know...

i know im writing too much here...

but i feel so sad for them..hoping to give a nice home after being tortured in the small shop, but they died in my hand...aiii......

so now i wanna find another mate for my "Evil Queen" d...and i will NEVER EVER go back to the fxckng stupid shop who cheat me again...



i sincerely appreciate you opinion..thanks!!

thank you , Sharil.

really hope they rest in peace and the lone ranger will stay healthy..

yup...i 'd learn my mistakes... must bring them to vet whenever you buy a new pets to check for their health status.....
but the mistake just too heavy for them....they pay their lifes...

anyway..thanks for your comfort...

im now planning to get another one for my female guinea pig as friend...hope she will not lonely again.

yup..they will feel lonely too...but that's is what i reserved and research from website....

guinea pigs are social animals...they live in a group normally and need other attention on them...
normally they will squeking demand for food...but not always.
sometime they feel they need your comfort and play or toy, they will squeking too.
as my case...after two of my gp pass away...the left only female now keep squeking for me to comfort her...not for food..

im not sure actually but you can google " will gunea pig feel lonely?" then you can saw other people perception and reservation...

hope you can get the answer!!

Yup...that's y we always need time to take care and play wif any of them and what ever animals it is...we are not just rare and take care of them only...we need to take them as friends for life too.....

Agreed...but just to remind myself and other, as long as we afraid of future no time to take care, then better hold our intention of breeding them...and make sure your family or other half will accept them and help you to take care while you're not around.....because when they get neglected...it's always sad ending....

just get my new Peruvian GP at Pet Safari, ikano! at first, though of getting another abyssynian...but at last.. i get a peruvian gp..

So so so cute d....but very afraid of human...had to slowly pamper him..if not he will run like hell and got him himself at the cage...poor things...

there still got a lot of silkie and abyssinian GP, price are reasonable... but one thing i need to told you guys here is that the peruvian i bought got mites on it body, and just hatch..so i needa take him go to vet d...

i will upload his picture d...hope you guys will like him too..haha

Hi Carol,

icic...but can you tell me where is the place you mention above?
cos i was thinking to wait till this weekend only let my sister examine him..she's a vet. doctor.

but i afraid it will be too late cos now i saw a lot of mites eggs at his ears there....

Thank you!!

Hi Carol,

congratulations for you there..wish you Jasper will live fat fat and healthy d!!
I think i will had a try on Bayer... because currently i was using last time i used which needa mix with water and spayed on their body...i forgot what is the brand cos my sister take back from her medic d..but it seem not very effective...still got lot of them "running" around...

hi lengcai,
due to my knowledge, they can actually being single through their lifes, but you had to make sure it's not lonely...and better put them at the place where they can see people and owner should always play with them, correspondent with them...but they would like some privacy such as little hut in their home to hide.....

the best if can, get them a new friends, there are some people rare rabbit to stay with them too!!

They are actually social livings, so thy need someone to took care and fun with them also..running around ...blah blah blah....

Hope this can help you, and happy "guinea pigging"!!

Hi,
I think your guinea pig is either Sheltie/silkie or Peruvian...because i also bought from there last Saturday!! isn't they all are soooooo cute....? the time i bought the promoter said only left one peruvian, so i take it home already, if not wrong the one you're buying are sheltie breed. Both Sheltie and Peruvian are almost the same just their coat and the growth direction of their hair are different...


this is sheltie/silke :-


and this is peruvian :-


about the eye problem, you can check on the website i attach...think is maybe small chunk of grass or something had hurt its eye...
i'm not expert so hope this website will help you...and of course the best is take them to see doctor...

And here are my GP, the abyssinian "devil queen", very manja and keep close to me, especially these few days keep raining , think she's cold, keep on hiding down my leg...



the other is new guy (white and grey color)...very hard to take his picture cos he always jumping and cannot stop moving d... and he's white color....very easy to get the photo over exposure....haha... can only take his photo while i change their house and put him in the small basket...then he'll stay diam diam there...

the other two "pudding" and "cookie" are the "devil queen" siblings...but too sad is they past away within one week i bought them back to home cause by urinal tract infection.....so sad...

but at least...had some of their photo to keep as memories..

Thanks!! the yellow one is 5-6month while the white color is around 3 month like that as the petshops people told me...

ohhh....thanks for your remind
actually now im just giving them timothy hays...thinking of buying them some alfafa hays these weekend.

but actually which kinda hay is better for them? because i go online some say mixed alfafa with timothy and some say with oat grass...alot of variety...kinda confused, and some even got homegrass?

sorry ....spelly mistakes...it's URINARY tract infection....

Actually UTI are similiar to bladder stone and pyometra also...so as soon as you saw you GP got blood in their pee and poo...you needa start considering it...

Normally if their home not clean and wet all the time then the percentage to suffer is higher.


this is what i get from somewhere else :-

UTI
Blood in the pee, squeaking while peeing, a serious and painful condition. A vet should check your pet for a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or problem with the bladder or kidneys. A sour smell could indicate a cyst, bladder or urinary tract infection, or stones.

for detail can check on this website :-

Hope these can help you.....

hi Jason,

Thanks for your information!! chincillas also told me that, and due to my gp still young, so they needa take both alfafa and timothy...now i just feeding them timothy and fresh vege everyday, next week will buy from chincillas and feed them nice...

Hi,

wow....never knew lice can do such harmful way...omg..my gp needa get rid of lice as soon as possible liao...the one i used now can't kill the eggs too...only reduce those "moving black dot" only....

thanks for the sharing!!

Hi, good to hear that your gp came back to normal, my GP also don't like tomato...normally i just small chunk of it mix with parsley, Romaine lettuce, carrot, jagung, celary and green pepper...

but they seem dislike parsley also...haha..

for timothy and alfafa hays, you can pm chincillas because he got sell nice quality of it.price also reasonable, i wan planning to get from him next week.

haha..it wasn't waste money actually , just we can give them as much care as possible...one time for all the stuff only..rite.. i also gone through the experience, but as soon as she also like them, then no problem..

good to hear that too...m gp is opposite from you..poo inside litter box but pee outsiide on those hays...
