yea...i think he's really lazy la....but one thing funny is when he's not eating, he will always jump inside the litter box to pee...then when he pee, he will make one kind of sound...so cute....

I put lots of pellets and hay for them to graze on 24/7. Put sufficient amount enuff for 1 day. At nite i give them one full bowl of fresh veggies. Enuff edi.. dont over feed.. its not good. Obese GP's sometimes can lead to health problems.

Ok lar next time i take with better lighting XD

Nes nevermind.. if i find a similar GP like that i find cody a playfriend k i will let you know if i see

lol, yeah actually i just noticed that my gps are getting more and more chubby - thats y i've decided to cut down on their food. but my granny normally will keep feeding them when they wheek cuz they look too adorable to be ignored.

i've 3 gps (aged 1-1.5 years). each time feed them with quarter bowl every 2 hours - alternate between pellets, hay, vege, carrots, then pellets again. n everytime after they eat, they'll go and sleep despite having a large cage to run abot...

any idea how to make them more active?

Female, (Short hair) and her name is Jingle.
Male, (long hair,sheltie) and his name is Jasper.

Even Jingle is short hair, but she like grooming too. I used to groom them once/twice per week by using kids soft toothbrush, Jingle will lying there for me to comb her but when come to Jasper(long hair) a bit difficult coz he is super active and can't even stay there more the 15 mins for me to groom especially when i bath him.... i used to bath them once per mth and weekly i wipe them wt the spray of anti-bacteria which i bough frm pet family.

bring them out and play with them

Litter box seem very expensive so anyone can give me an idea is there alternative way for the potty train?

try putting newspaper at the corner of ur cage where ur gps always pee/poo. when they're used to it, they will only pee/poo on the newspaper no matter where u put it. i trained my gp over 2 weeks and now they only pee/poo on the newspaper

Oh, Thanks Petplayground!Been two days was at my bf's place so tonight go back from work need to clean the cage and new bedding cos my housemate said it start to smell now...cos they pee alot....Going to use the wood bedding so home it wont fly so much like the Breeder celect....Newspaper...I put 2 layers of newspaper on the bottom of the cage and then bedding and corner put some hay...so both can play and sleep or even eat there....one good thing is they dun poo on the hay la...

i saw ur gp in the box on ur pic - do they pee/poo in the box?

It that the brown colour box? Long rectangle one?It is a tube box for them to play...hahaah then got food bowl lo....each got one bowl so no need to fight...Kekeke....

We love to see your GP, must be very very round.

Today i clean Cody's cage so i put him in the pail....guess what...so big pail also he able to climb out...luckily i saw it....so notty!!!

I weight Cody with kitchen scale...he is 440 gram now...

GP can grow up to 1000gram or above! That is a nice size to pet.

hmm where u get the kitchen scale ar? my gf is still looking for it lol

Kitchen department at supermarket.

hmmm ok ok thxs didnt get to see any of it in giant lol

haha... yeah! very round. scared obese soon. i cant imagine how much it'll weigh as well

There is someone selling different kind of weight scales in garage sales.. but i cant seem to find it >< Its about RM50 for the kitchen scale and its digital.

Try giving your GP's floor time. Take them out of the cage and let them run around. Or get the dog play pen.. put them inside there with some pvc tubes for them to run and hide

Go to places that sell abit more expensive items, like Jusco, 1 Utama....
