how many babies are born? how old is the mum? maybe yht sow lack of nutrition or too young to be pregnant....did you find anything wrong wit the baby before it died? like too skinny ke, got cacat anywhere ke....

really? what do you think the babies die?kesiannyer....

aww. they look so cute n innocent la sweetcat !!! wa wanna cubit them!!!!

n nice cage too, ei c'mon la its not ugly at all !! i'm planning to make a habitat like that oso, on a 3-tier rack (i just use the middle rack for female, bottom rack for male) now calculating the cost....

btw u use wood shavings right? how often did you change the bedding? my GP pee alot so last time i use shaving got wet very fast.....

do anyone have pics of the cubes as example? i dunno how it looks like ....

blood? nv saw that on my gp's pee....go see a vet lah...could be dangerous...how old are ur gp?

true true...i was so shocked to see my GP dash here and there during roaming time (i let them loose in my living room atleast an hour a day, coz me got no garden... ) they are very active means they are happy...love to watch them walk like a furry train (tailing each other) hahaha so cute!

its ok nothing to be worried about, except for the flying mess lor....try using BCelect as beeding lor, its heavier then wood shave so it wont fly here n there...i change to BC coz of this reason too. plus its highly absorbant...

hehe n3sbaby you will b getting ur GP from dark_twilight too? ehehe me oso...and me oso cannot wait la.... dark when can we take em? any new pics? hehehehe

sweetcat >> u use fleece? oh how izzit? they will pee n poo on it too right so will it smell? have to change fleece ofter ka? aha sorry too many question....

there is sosme greenish poo that GP will eat back. it has valuable nutrients and its normal for them to eat it. what r u feeding ur GP? if not mistaken GP that eat lots of hay will produce more of those greenish poo, maybe it was indigested hay

btw how old r u GP? picture please....

if you dun want i can take her..i'm planning to a pair at first, but dark_twilight said the other one is booked...

now collecting materials for the new DIY cage...next week will get the wire netting and coroplast. i remembered there's 1 shop in klang sell art materials, hope i can find the thick coroplast there.

aha i'm excited on my new GP!! during my free time with my GP girls i always told them..."ur gonna get a handsome friend soon...be nice to him ar!!!" hehehe

thanks alot...but the decision is in dark_twilight's hands lor whether let me take both or not..

yes i will..since i have more princess than prince so the new DIY cage will belong to the princesses coz its bigger. the old cage will belong to the male the old cage will be modofied abit too so it'll be more comfortable...

where's ur location? i'm not going anywhere i might be able to help.

i dont recommend leaving them unattended....who's gonna fill the pallets/hay/water? i leave my GPs 1 day oso got worried....

i once take them to port dickson on vacation (last raya haji) i dun see any problem as i put their cage next to me in the car, so i can make sure they are calm and comfortable but penang quite far...maybe you should ask sum1 to help u take care la...there are some who can do GP boarding, including me.

aha if Juztiny said can, so nothing to worry lor... just make sure they are comfortable and not stress. for me having a vacation in port dickson with them last time was very special, its fun

yeah i live in klang, work in shah alam. somtimes i go subang to get my petsupply. so usually i meet my frens who need pet boarding around sunway/shah alam/klang to take their pets and bring back home lo.

dunno whts the price for GP boarding, i'm not actually doing for money, i just love GP so i charge minimum wan.

rm18.90? the small or big one? i buy the big pack for rm22...its the hagen pallet for GP rite, not rabbits?

izzit true recycle paper bedding are bad for gp when direct contact? nv heard of this b4....i always heard these bedding us the best...as its high absorbant and its heavier weight makes it not easily "fly" here n thereduring popcorning...care to elaborate more?

coroplast u can find in bookstores, eg: Popular...if you want thicker one u got to look in shops selling art stuff...i use the bookshop-quality coroplast as the base of my GP cage.

um did you fill the water till full? water bottle will leak if you dont fill it till full...

aha thats what i heard about the water bottle, dunno if it applies on biig/small bottle alike....

wak hello kitty blanket!! hehe ur gp look cute...only 1 ar? close-up pics please!!! cute cute!!

u can get good impartant information on how to take care of ur gp by reading the 1st page of this topic. we encourage all newbies to read it all (it might take some time, but it will answer most of your question) there is also links on some other sites dedicated to provide good info for GP owners. i hope this will help.

Coco is cute!! it is not a gud idea to put lots of hay like that n mixed with the bedding as u need to clean the cage regularly coz GP poo n pee alot (unless they are toilet train then you will only need to change the toilet bedding) ur gp is still small and it might not eat that much, and coco might pee n poo on the hay also, that will be a waste coz you have to remove the dirty hay away...

u can use processed recycled paper bedding (like Breeder Celect) or wood shavings (like Chipsi Classic) as beddings for the cage. i did read about corn bedding is not very suitable for GP...something about the smell and the absorbant level i think....forgot liao~

the small plastic container at the corner, izzit the pellet bowl? u should get a proper heavier (and deeper) bowl for the pellet, gp might turn the bowl upside down, sit over it or spill the pellet...

hope this helps abit

did you put all of them in 1 cage? i read that you can mix male and female together, but u can put only 1 male in the group. 2 males in a cage with female will fight, they might hurt the female GP oso....
