If i recall it should take no longer than 15 minutes for a pup to fully emerge.. so if the mummy shows signs of complications, you might need to go straight off to the vet!

I would seriously not reccomend a pair.. Unless later on you plan to sell or giveaway the babies. Yes they reproduce very fast. A normal litter of pups would be the average of 2-4 at a time. They can breed all year round if the daddy isnt seperated. The male mature fast too.. making breeding even faster.

If you plan to keep the litter, are you prepared for more cage space? Complications sometimes when delivering and break down in tears if some of them dont survive.. more costs will be involved... more food for all, vet trips and also more attention for each and everyone.

Ooops sry misunderstood your question XD well Juz already answered

Hope Jasper recovers soon

If Jasper still has no appetite to eat, try giving him LC Vit Forte Syrup. You can pm me on where to get..

LC vit is for them to have more appetite to eat.. and to lessen stress. Im not sure what Vit C dr jenny gave you.. but it might be different. It comes in a pink box.

aznie.. please note that cavies don't need bathing in sand. Its not a hygienic way of cleaning cavies. We must not mislead others If given to GPs, the sand could get into their eyes or mouths (since they will typically explore with their mouths!), and could also be inhaled into their lungs, which could result in respiratory infections and breathing problems.

GP's need normal baths with appropriate shampoo. Johnsons baby shampoo for instance, but never bath sand. They cannot have frequent showers as well as they have sensitive skin.

If for sure they have mites, then the spray or mites bath is the way to go. I have mentioned about this before.. If they have black spots, you can use a normal hair comb to comb it out. If they are really stubborn to come off, then try the spray.

RIP tiny one.. glad to hear the mom is ok..

My big girl uses the potty. The small one still learning to use it. Half of the time only she will use it~ So i still got like tiny kacang2 on the floor still lol.. Lure them by putting hay on top of it. Or maybe some of their favorite veges. Some oni.. not all XD It will take time.. and i know for certain that a lot of GP owners experience where they treat the potty as their resting place so u gotta trial and error ^^ GPs also like to their business particularly in the corners of the cage.. so try putting like a toy at the corners to avoid them to pee/poop there.

im not sure about sprays.. but as long it is ok for kitten (not cat) has to be kittens then i guess its ok.

GP's poop technically doesn't smell so badly... sometimes no odor also.. well for me lah.. Coz their poop are so neatly produced.. XD like kacang~ IF they got watery poo then u must be careful. When you say fat.. is it fat as in whole body or the stomach area oni?

OT: lol are u malay? long time dint hear the term terkezut XD

anywayyyy~ try hold the 2 girls then tap on their stomach. Got like 'ploop' sound or not.. scared oni bloated.. coz a bit worried when u say the poo isnt nice and neat.. what diet you feeding them now?

daun ubi kayu i also dunno what that is in english.. dunno safe veggie or not =x try giving them some time.. see within these few days if their poo gets better. Btw try to give different vege.. have some variation for them ^^ maybe sawi & carrot.. then next day diff vege and some fruits. Good luck!

Now i know what ubi kayu is in english its Tapioca hahahah~ cabbage is ok.. The one u should avoid is lettuce..

normal poo u can tell.. if u squish it when its dry.. it smashes down like powder.. that is good poop XD

It's normal.. mine doesn't eat also unless i cut the stems to small pieces. They get tired of chewing it.

Definetly no.. GP's are meant to be house INSIDE of the house.. unless you have like a barn or something. They need the shade.. even tho not direct sunlight, they can die of heat stroke. Yes they will get cold also. Just imagine yourself sleeping outside when it rains, sure not comfortable one rite

The chicken cage is made out of what? Wood? How is the flooring like?

I agree with chubby.. Pets.. any kind also.. you buy to rare, love them and make them part of the family.

Don't just buy pets coz you think they look cute, and then u just CAGE them.. do nothing..

We all not sifu here.. just avid pet lovers.. If its wood and dawai.. i think wont be practical de. Dawai is kinda thin and will hurt their feet. Unless you put like placemats under on top of it to avoid them from getting bumble feet.

Wood they will have the urge to chew.. what happens if one day you find your GPs missing coz they chew their way out? XD You can try consider getting the pet shop cages like me and chubby have. Actually there is so many lah.. Just one time invest.

The width should be minimal 3-4 ft for 2 piggies. No less... coz the only form of exercise is to run and move around, jump here and there.. so thats why need wide space. Unless you give floor time often, then its ok to have a medium sized cage.

I am a fleece user u can come my apartment and smell XD fleece absorbs water.. but partially also coz my girls are kinda potty trained. BUT i do change the fleece every 5 days.. so if u leave it there long2 of coz will smell lah

get the document clip.. black color one and the silver clipping can fold down.. that is good to hold fleece.

Got camera phone? XD or keep it in your pocket next time u playing with them kekekek~
