Nubby is so cute wub.gif can i kidnap him wub.gif

Anyways to tell if your GP got Diarrhea, you will see watery poo. And also the fur will puff out (not normal) and their poo will smell really2 bad. Possible causes of diarrhea are bacterial infection, eating spoiled/moldy hay or vegetables.

Thanks... ! Im from sarawak, and some shop i see sell the brownish colour hay..so maybe thats why my GP hate it. Its like a dry grass. I saw this online pet shop-> www.chubbypetsgarden.com .. Saw the hay with -Kaytee- brand. hope it is fresh. will order it soon.I'll try to search for Hagen. Frankly the pet shop here sold pretty lousy food for GP (GP is very rare and hard to find here). sweat.gif
*
Hagen, Sluis and Prestige are one of the best brands. Kaytee is fine too i know some of us here feed their GP with Kaytee.

I found that my guinea pig starting to bite the cage metal...why huh? wanna exercise the teeth ar?how to stop them bite the metal cage and bite something else like carrots or wood?
*
GP dont need exercise wheel. They might be biting to trim their teeth, so provide them with sufficient hay.. if possible get those wood hide houses so they can camp inside and chew it at the same time.

Erm.. Lets say this way

1.First GP that i adopted is local GP (my friend gave to me). Live bout a year plus, but died of diarhea (which i didnt aware of it)
2. Next, Lisa. My first time buying GP. man, she was so sick at that time! now 2 years and half with me already. (thanks for helping me find her breed smile.gif. kinda cool for me to have Aby..hehe)
3. Next, 2 local GP , still small bout 1-2 months? Both died in two days-i dont know why! i kept it secure in the house but i guess because the previous shop did not take care of them properly ( i saw the shop owner grab forcely and simply throw the GP in the cage  vmad.gif ).
4. Bought another local GP, with lices  vmad.gif . again i only notice the lice after i bring her home. bad bad pet shop! Chap-chap (Female) died of diarhea last month. No symptom and suddenly saw she laying there with the wet tail.
5. Last GP, the aby breed, he look very frail when i bring him home. He was in good care, getting fat but still shy with chap-chap and Lisa. He too, died last month without any reason. I examine him but there's no diarhea. can anyone suggest possible cause?

and everytime my GP died, i cried whole night. Right now i kinda resistant to adopt new GP cos i hate crying  cry.gif . If Lisa leaves me too, i'll surely devastated. But thanks God, she gave birth and makes me extremely happy!  icon_idea.gif

btw, wad cause diarhea owh?

Feon, there is milder forms of diarrhea that can come from excessive feeding of fresh fruits or vegetables or a change in their diet. Although its ok to feed as much as your GP wants when its hungry.. just dont over do it. My 2 piggies only eat a bowl full of fresh veggies once a day.. and full bowl of pellets and hay are there to substitute when im at work.

You can try replacing the fresh vegetables with lots of alfalfa and timothy hay, but if it shows no improvement.. you don't wait, just go to the vet..

Try reading up lots of articles on the web on what are the basic GP sickness are. This way you will be prepared to really identify the sickness and will know what to tell the vet.

Yup correct chamyk.. cannot simply change automatically.. need to change it gradually. Just to stress out hay are not just for them to forage, it has its healing properties too ^^ so try to give a lot for them and not just limit it.

Edit~ oh it trims their teeth too XD and very mind stimulating laugh.gif

sorry~
wanna ask..
is it possible to put two or more different breeds of GP in same cage?
*
If they are the same sex then its fine.. if they are not the same sex, then they will probably breed.. and im not sure what outcome it would be sweat.gif

QUOTE(chabbywabbit @ Mar 19 2009, 09:05 AM)
is it normal for gp to run here and there..i mean like really fast...coz nubbyz is like that...he popcorns alot and run here and ther on my bed i'm just wondering is that normal behavior?
*
They run here and there when they are happy. This is also their only form of exercise. Thats why they don't require wheels. Its normal behaviour.. so don't worry laugh.gif

QUOTE(Xiawa @ Mar 19 2009, 09:14 AM)
i found huahua didn't drink water these 2 days,
and she breathe very fast, looks like asthma,anyone know whats going on?

ps:she eats and poos as usual
*
As far as i know if this happens it is circulatory problems which is a result from heart problems. I'm not really sure but i read up on this before somewhere.. cant remember. Does she make like a 'hoooooting's sound? Like humans when asthma? I suggest bringing her to the vet.

QUOTE(CKW008 @ Mar 19 2009, 09:29 AM)
how is the poo actually looked like when gp is having diarhea..
my gps poo kinda soft.. like chocolate powder.. not as solid and greenish dark like normal poo.. is tat diarhea?? inform me..
*
Normal poo should not be GREEN in color.. it should be brownish, hard and neat and looks like a mini Lima bean. And if you squish it, its powdery. Refer back a page or 2 i did mention how to identify diarrhea.

QUOTE(Chinchillas @ Mar 19 2009, 10:07 AM)
Lots of member already giving advice for you on how to recongnise diarrea. I would like to add 1 more thing, that is feed hay. IS A MUST. Timothy hay. By feed that, you will maintain a stable digestive system of your GP. Quickly go to your near by pet shop and grap a bag of fresh green hay.
*
Please listen to chins, he is rite nod.gif also the hay expert here tongue.gif

NO RABBIT PELLETS ARE NOT OKAY~ not sure if u were even paying attention, all of us mentioned numerous brands of GP food that you can serve to your GP. I keep seeing say that u want to find a friend for Lisa.. do take note, once u buy u cant simply put them together at once.. They need to be properly introduced. Try doing some research before buying.. else you will just be repeating the cycle of the previous GP's that you had..

I never mix my GP right away. Wad i do is i isolate the new one, and make sure he gets healthy first.  I called it quarantine time  notworthy.gif . Before i introduce them, i bond myself with the new one first. notworthy.gif  Then i introduce them by putting them together for one hour at least in 1 day, next day 2 hour, and more and more until they stay in 1 cage together. I had an experience where two of my GP cant live together. doh.gif  I separate them with a mesh wire, and at least they 'talk' and see each other although no contacts. thumbup.gif

Yes u mention numerous brand. If you understand my situation also, im in sarawak, there's no BRANDED FOOD pellet for GP. The petshop only sell the BENGY, JOLLY, BUNNY and no brand pellet. TO order the brand pallet that all of you had mentioned, it took 20 days and above.

And i did mention, Lisa's poo a bit soft but still in shape. I just concern bout her 100% vege for diet.Im trying to get pellets, and yesterday i bought Jolly brand. She doesnt like it much, and in fact she never finish it until this morning also.
*
It shouldn't be 1 day to quarantine.. u need 1 day to leave it alone.. don't disturb him to calm down. Then at least 1 week the 2 GP's cage side by side then only try to introduce them.

There is such thing as ordering online laugh.gif you can find from petshack.com.my or chubbypetsgarden.com these 2 places can send it straight to your doorstep. Dont buy things on the impulse.. be patient and u wont end up wasting money nod.gif

Thanks but i did that ordi, fastest is 20 days and above to deliver even 1kg of food. I survey both website since 2 days ago. Now need to survey the local petshop if they got provide a good hay (cos i saw yellow hay only... hmm.gif )
For sure trusted food is not available here. And i remember last time i bought a hay is from Kuch..which Lisa doesnt eat cos i think its like too dried up  sweat.gif  heheh...

Did you try talking to the owners? Chinchillas is the owner for chubbypetsgarden and jtl/babydugong for petshack. I dont think it will take so long. Even for chubbypetsgarden the longest i waited was 2 days LOL.. and that was a weekend tongue.gif If petshack i just go there and buy sweat.gif

Both of them sell quality hay also... nes even ordered from chins before.. u can ask her how long it takes to deliver..

AAHHH! HELP!

All of a sudden today my GP give birth! Thank god its only one...

I have 3 gp, all female. 1 Mom 2 daughter. then today. i see see the cage. suddenly got one extra GP! So i think its the mom one... Maybe before i got the gp in my hand, she already pregnant...

Anyway, now i got one baby gp and i donno how to care for it...
And the front left leg of the baby gp is also bengkok.. I think deformed. Don't know why. The leg is bent inwards and instead of walkin on the paw, the baby gp walk on the erm.. leg...
*
Seperate the mother and the baby from the other 2. Then feed the mum with more nutritional veges coz she will be feeding the baby. If really the leg deformed then i dont think can do anything. Leave the baby n mummy alone coz later the mum might stress and wont feed the baby. after a while maybe a week like that, can try bringing them to see dr jenny and see if both healthy.
