Cody looks cute in the pail scoop XD i cant keep both my girl still when mandi =.= cannot use the sink.. must use baby bath as enclosure

One bath wont shed much.. in fact mine dont seem to shed at all...

hitz.. you forgot hayrack >< the hayrack can diy with shoebox or tissue box ^^ you can teach him to use the bottle.. take away the water bowl and when he really thirsty will for sure drink from the bottle ^^ maybe he is not use to it yet

You will need to research first on GPs before owning one.. Prices for shelties or peruvians are like what carol said. You will need a nice home for it too and prepare about RM150+ for pet store cages. Foods are about RM20 hay about RM25. Water bottles are about 10-15. Bedding depending on what you will use. Take note of fresh veggies too.. my veggies per week is about RM10... also you must consider fees and trips to the vet if your GP falls sick or anything. If you think they are easy to take care.. you will have to rethink again.. and they are not cheap either coz they eat a lot.

Carol you are not hurting him lol... you are merely giving some advice.. and whatever you said.. is so very true

Grats huahua!~ glad that the mites problem is gone ^^

GPs actually do not require any pill or calcium or anything like that.. they absorb all the vitamins and etc from their daily vege intake. Also from hay and pellets. All these nutrients are absorbed into their body and the best time to absorb it is feeding veges in the evening or nite. So giving supplement is subjective.. Mine are very2 healthy without supplements Giving supplement is also considered like.. feeding your self with medicine.. when you really arent sick

Looks like you making progress with him hitz heheheh~ well there is some supplement, calcium and vit things to give to your GP.. but if me lah.. i wouldnt want to give if there is nothing wrong with them ^^ if they are eating ok.. don't need to worry lah ^^ May i know which forumer you referring to?

That sounds awesome! i think they gonna grow just fine

Lol guys stop worrying about how long your GPs will be able to live. If someone asks you to jump down the cliff would you? So lets not assume.. its better to try making them comfy to maximize their lifespan instead of worrying when they will die. Remember if they are fed a healthy diet, enough companionship and bonding with their owners... proper vet visits if they are sick.. then you have nothing to worry about... so you guys gotta stop thinking negatively

Congrats... make sure they are properly weaned before selling them off.. Best is a month after their deliver.. and not earlier than that. Also might want to go to garage sales for buying/selling.. dont do it here

It's normal when they eat alot.. just like us.. if we eat a lot also need to go toilet gua seems like your GP poop got green color? I dunno if its the camera making the color like that.. huhu.. is the poo hard or soft?

If its hard then its ok just monitor if he starts to poo in greenish and soft.. those are signs of diarrhea. I think you mean Hagen pellet hehehe~ give some choi sum and some other leafy vege also ^^ give more variety for him

EDIT - Oh ya you asked for bedding for the litter box rite.. the one you using is fine.. i use just newspaper for my 2 girls coz they have the little pan. If you want long lasting one, you can try buying Breeder Celect for the poo box.. Remember to avoid Cedar & corncob bedding.

where you read cannot give green veges lah.. grapes can and raisins also can BUT... only give one or 2 per day! Never more...

if she step it becomes dust like that ... its ok.. it just shouldnt be soft like watery like that..

Yes dear baby shampoo works.. i use johnsons and johnsons baby shampoo.. No tears!! XD the best thing they smelll woooo so nice after that~

Lovely~ so cute the mommy and kids carol i like the vids!!

GP are social animals.. they do need a friend.. if you bond a lot with blackie, you dont have to get a friend for him too soon. But if you think you wont be able to give him lots of attention then you should go ahead and get a friend for him. But proper introductions need to be done.. you cant simply campak them together and expect them to get along It's like someone throw you into the dungeon and expect you to be ok XD

6 months is like teenager for us take your time hitz.. no rush.. remember ya your blackie is male, if you get female... if they really get along.. that female will be the partner till they die.. and they will mate when in heat.. Production of GPs are very2 fast.. so need to reconsider whether u wanna get a male or female. Its not necessary to get the same age. Lets say you wanna get a male companion you can try to get a younger GP. Coz GPs they will look at each other in terms of age.. more like respect like that.. My 2 girls are totally different age

Cute GPs!!! Woo mummy very2 round already... Separate the male from the female before the birth. The female will go into estrous shortly after giving birth...

ahhhh lol i thought the mummy pregnant again nvm.. heheh.. so next time.. if she preggy again.. seperate the male before the expected date of birth
