As soon as the baby is eating on its own and dont depend on mum's milk, can separate already.. coz inbreeding isnt any good either.. Did dr jenny say that is too early to separate?

Oh why was he spoonfed? Maybe she is saying 6-7 weeks towards yours? coz the baby male really matures fast

technically yes syringe not too safe.. if you push too fast.. too much milk goes in and can suffocate the baby. the bread could have been the best option.. and besides.. its not like you treat it as if it was a staple diet.. it was for a special case.. it can be tolerated

np~ (paiseh de) sometimes i just say to myself... i have toooo much time researching and reading but at the same time it benefit my pets XD its a good hobby XD

Huhuhuhuhu... technically im not a housewife i work full time as a graphic/web designer from 10-6pm everyday XD during my free time like no jobs to rush out.. my reading material is mostly from google XD i also have 2 kids. It's tiring and do-able hehehe..

so sad muchan your allergies cannot be treated?

Really? i never knew... gonna ask her during the next visit.. kpc sikit kekekkeek~

Huhuhuh~ i already told you the other day to take out the water bowl you dont have to worry.. coz we want to teach him to use the water bottle.. if he is thirsty.. he will sure drink one

xiaomian so cute.... nice vid!

Oh ya hitz you dont have to worry about GPs getting dehydrated too fast because if you are feeding them fresh veges.. they absorb water from that too

Dont give them the bath yet, take them to Dr Jenny first then move them to colin's house..

The pet safari cage i really would not recommend it. I have seen it.. not to mention the price is damm expensive!! The huge one is about RM190+ =.=; I dont recommend it coz the enclosure is high and on top of it, there is a transparent plastic around it.. (the way zoozone was built) there wont be proper ventilation for piggies. It was living world brand.. dunno good or not.. but yeah it was a good looking cage XD

They shed.. just make sure not too much.. Unless you see locks of fur.. (meaning a lot shedding) then it could be due to too much scratching.. also possible of mites..

The ingredients seem fine.. i know there was some cases where people blame hagen pellets for the cause of death for their cavies.. But its actually how you feed the pellets. And yes Hagen Pellets have Corn Glutten and Ground Corn Cobs in the ingredients. Renal failure is most likely the GP is offered ONLY pellets and hay and no fresh veggies. Pellets are not suppose to be the only thing they will eat.. Silverwinus also had a GP that died of excessive feeding of pellets.. you can read it on the first page.. So its not just pellets.. it can be any pellets. Due to this case also, im waiting to swap to oxbow XD but then again.. my GPs dont feed entirely on just pellets XD

Jacklene, you take the GPs one hand hold up.. another hold at the bottom there.. use your left hand index finger and thumb, gently press the bottom there.. see if got anything come out (like a small penis) if got.. then its a boar .. if nothing come out.. then thats your sow XD

Did the neutering for the other male worked well? Coz the last time i read, a lot of cavies couldnt handle the stress after neutering

Erm all of them doesnt have to go thru surgery jacklene.. you can just get a new cage and seperate the boys all together.. they are siblings, wont fight much.. so you can have a 'boys only' cage ^^

Im glad the previous surgery went well, but you gotta remember not all GPs are alike ><; some might be able to take it.. some might not In the US they dont support neutering for cavies.. they just split the boys into different cages

Guys and gals, Lets continue our GP corner @ v5
