LOLs.. coz the babies.. 1 is MaLe.. 1 is feMaLe...

OrH ya Lo!!! i read onLine ...they said shouLd sepaRate by 4 weeks oLd when the maLe baby GP matuRes...

Ya O_o Dr Jenny said 3 to 4 weeks is too eaRLy....
she said ideaL age wiLL be 6 to 7 weeks?

Contradicts what i read from onLine guides.. so i'm woRRied....

my pRevious LitteR.. i sepaRated at 4 weeks oLd...
This one .. is haRder to sepaRate... seems attached to the Mommy...
He onLy staRted dRinking mommy's miLk @ 1 week oLd...befoRe that was spoonfed..

spoon fed coz he was weak & wasn't dRinking the Mommy's miLk...
he neaRLy died oh dehydration...
Dr. Yeoh gave him an injection & saved him...
i had to feed him miLk using bRead...
Show u the pic... LoLs...





Thus.. he is named MiLky aka Roti~

p/s: i understand how u feeL caRoL... T__T

weLL... forgot who was the one who said in the eaRLier posts that bRead is Like junk food to GP's. So, it's not goOd to give them too much...
I didn't know that...
but I read onLine that using a shRinge to FoRced feed him miLk is not that gOod... the guide suggested i use bRead to soak up the miLk & Let him suck the miLk fRom the bRead...
AfteR 1 week of spoon feeding (inteRvaLs of 2 to 3 houRs) ..then he staRted taking soLid food.. PHEW!!!

sugaRcoatedcandy.. u R veRy knowLedgeabLe! *saLute*
Can LeaRn Loads fRom u!

wah caRoL! jingLe actuaLLy eats the heinZ baby foOd ah? I gave miLky that toO but he doesn't wanna eat it.

ChubbyangeL I think the fuR is inboRn O_o... Not suRe.. Cotton has VERY soft fuR just Like heR Mommy but MiLky's fuR is Rough just Like Daddy Rex. LOLs!! Oh.. and i dunno if they can take oats O_o~

scoRpgaL ~ Wat bReed is uR GP?

aww..that's so sad... I do sneeze sometimes when i'm cLeaning theiR cages but it's nothing too seRious...

Did u aLL know that Dr. Jenny is aLLergic to GP's?

i asked her =X Last week.. LOLs! coz i brought my GP's over to see her for the 1st time Last week & i noticed she staRted sneezing LOlss
Then i asked heR if she's aLLergic to rodents..
she said.. onLy GP's...

OMG nubby is so cute...
hitz... u need alot of patience with GP's...
even i've been having GP's for years.. some of my GP's stiLL run away from me...
U can staRt pLaying with him moRe aLready and maybe once he is used to uR enviROnment/house..
u can try removing his HOUSE for a whiLe...
then he won't keep hiding...

My GP's don't reaLLy make aLot of noises too.. and onLy the baby GP's jump aLot when i give them hay to eat...

noRmaLLy my maLe GP's onLy get excited when they get to mingLe with the femaLe GP's... LOLs..

aiyo.. u spoiL him.. LOLs.. let him learn to use the bottLe.. once he is thiRsty he wiLL dRink.. give him a day without the bowL...

Hay is quite impoRtant... wat kinda hay u give him?

I think it's neaRLy a week at uR pLace aLready.. u can staRt bonding with him moRe so that he wiLL get used to u.. constant bonding for onLy a week.. can make alot of diffeRence..

hitz... noRmaLLy i just Leave the wateR bottLe theRe they wiLL automaticaLLy dRink fRom theRe... don't have to try and foRce him...
Just fiLL up the bottLe up fuLL & leave it for a whoLe day.. come back LateR & checK if the wateR Level has decReased...
The moRe u try to foRce him.. the moRe he wiLL be annoyed i think...
When he is thiRsty.. he shouLd automaticaLLy know how to dRink.. ^^~

congRats piggy101...!!! theRe's so many new baby piggies LateLy.. LOLs

omg xiawa... uR GP is so cute... Loves massages so much... Mine kinda hates ppL touching them... T_____T...

yea... remove the wateR bowL for at Least 1 whoLe day...
He wiLL have no choice but to drink from the bottLe once he is thiRsty...
He won't get dehydrated so fast... ^^~ Good Luck!

any1 heRe good at sexing BABY guinea pigs?

Dr. Jenny told me that one of mine is feMaLe & the otheR is MaLe...
so she neuteRed 1 of my aduLt GP's to pRevent inteR-bReeding...

But now that the Babies are neaRLy 5 weeks oLd...
i'm staRting to feeL Like both of them R maLes...
& i feaR that i neuteRed my GP for nothing >_<~

i'LL go home & take a pic... if can i'LL post it up heRe

p/s: Hitz... 1 of my GP Loses haiR eveRyday toO. I think it's quite noRmaL... oR maybe just Lacking in a bit of vitamins/nutRients

T___T onLy pRobLem is.. even if it tUrns out to be a maLe... nothing i can do about it coz i aLready neuteR the otheR maLe GP *sigh*
