I finally got my American gurls from keycha (hopefully not spelled your name wrong )
here is the picta~

Lui Lui (In CanTonese.. Which means Gurl Gurl)



She is a very cute fella.... she is the one who started to get close to me first...

Lui Lui Eating Her Beloved Apple~


Lui Lui in her Shabby Paper Shack...
Sorry gurl... Hang Hang Suqueeze u out so i had to use this box as ur temporary Hidey First.... Wait till the loft is done... okay?




Hang Hang 幸幸 a short for 幸福=Happinese(In canTonese As well... )




She is Very shy....when she first came, she directly hide in the L pipe that i put for their Hidey house.... and she even kick or squeeze Lui Lui out...
very hard to capture her picture..


Hang Hang first time come out from the hidey to eat the pellet~



Both of them wanted to go into the same pipe~




Anyway.. there is something i wanna ask all sifu here...

1. According to keycha, the gurls are 1month ++ i shud feed the pure alfafa hay and alfafa based pellets OR Mix Timothy with alfafa for them and so do the pellets.... OR there is other sugegstion? coz everything i prepare is for kids, everything is alfafa based based on the info given on the 1st post...

2. they are not toilet trained.... they poo faster then i clean up... and i have yet to lay my hands on the toilet yet.. out of stock for all the pet shop in PJ n Damansara area.... yet to go to buy from pet shack .... so the sooner i started to make them used to the toilet the better right?

3. They ONLY eat Apple.... nothing else... i tried from salad vege, sawi, small pak choy, carrot, cucumber, watermelon, jagung,chinese parsley... they dont touch them some just smell n some just bite like 2 -3 bites then they just leave there.... but they eat those hagen alfafa based pellets and hay... Luckly... coz today go to a few shop around my area all out of stock for timothy hay....
how sifu? shud i only give them apple or continue to mixed vege & fruits until they eats them? coz now they still hv carrots n water mellon in their bowl.. but all apple gone....

4.i see some of u guys use mesh wire, may i know what is the size? how big is one hole? i cant use the toilet mat becuz of the size of my cage.... i need to cut some to 3/4 or 1/4 to fit nicely

5. They 2 sometime fight.. not serious but like to hit each other with the paws, and i check them are alrite, no wound or pull off hair... it's normal?

Ahhhhhhh, my GP(male) climb out from the cage to go to the other cage with a female GP there ... SWT ~~ but fixed now ... but he keep going to the side area ... I just cover the top side

lol both of them sooo cuutee!!! they both girls rite ? yea its better to have them toilet trained... maybe try some tomato mine looves tomato i am baad at helping people LOOL

wow cann climb wan your guinea pig mine the mother n father very lazzyy

i gave them tomato just now... they dun want them...

notti gurl so picky....

i didnt know guinea pig soo picky wan have you tried any other fruit? other than watermelon?

yea lor... i also dunno why mine so picky

i gave them kiwi also... they also dun want...

hi sweet cat! how about you try to give them everything but apples? They need to get used to the idea of eating other stuff. They need the vitamins different fruits and vege can give them.

hmm try to wash the carrot or wutever fruit.
mine wont eat if its dry .
so i will rinse it n make it a little bit wet.


n make sure u cut the fruit n veg small2.

sweetcat,

Which type of toilet you are talking about? If those triangle / square ones, FLUFF Pet Store got quite a lot.

i need to give away Charcoal, Coffee and Nettie so if any of you guys want PM me

i do... at first i cut quite big chuck, about 1/2 inch... then i found out that they took long time to finish one then i chopp them finer.... still they dont eat, i had try to re wash them with boiled water or filter water... they just bite a bit then left it.... i try myself everythinhi feed them.. they dont feel sour or rotten....

why they so notti de.....

yea i know, but pet shack is in SUNWAY... i din go there.... mayb i will just order online, coz i tot it's a common thing and mostly pet shop do have them... seems that i m wrong gua....

awww.... why u wanan give them away...



btw... my hang hang always scratch herself and lick the fur till messy.... at first i tot it was normal... but i do read somewhere in the 1st post that puff coat is not a good sign? m i rite or i m just too sensitive?

only hang hang does that.... lui lui seldom make her fur messy n puffy...



btw... they sleep with poo n pee.... i was like WTH....

i just clean before i went to sleep... when i wake up this morning, whole place full with poo n the tunnel pipe has pee... n they sleep there...


i think i better change the bottom mesh wire to a bigger hole ones...

guinea pig is like that.

they will poo inside the hide house so make sure u clean it well or else they will get infection.
u cn try hide house without the bottom so the poo n pee will go directly under.
sometimes inside the food bowl they poo also. =.=:"
im using the 2 ringgit toilet mat i think the hole is bigger enuf.
but u need to cut some so it fits the cage.
i think your cage same like me .
cn your cage come"s apart?


hmm about your guinea pig weird diet.
u can mix the apple with other vegetable .
if they picky also.
u can try pour apple juice onto the veg or other fruit.
when they started eating u cn try make the juice lesser n lesser n lastly no apple juice =)

alo..
hye... about the poo n pee rite, last time they like to pee n poo inside the food place..
then i need to clean n wash them..maybe u can use toilet mate better than u use mesh wire..n bout the fruit n veg , i think my gp mmg choosy. coz mama diorg pon choosy .sorii.maybe u cn try slowly..

*



yea.. i found some poo & pee in the food bowl too sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif when i m around i can clean fast enuff.. tapi kalao i pegi kerje... i dunno la when i go back the poo will like mountain edi or not...

about the frequent scratching i cant check if she has got mites or fleas coz she wont let me hold.. sweat.gif sweat.gif
but not really frequent also... like 1-2 hour she will make her fur wet n puffy... sweat.gif

normal or not normal?

haha.. takpe.... every GP has their own personality.. mayb i tends to get the picky pet.. .as my cat pun macam tu... dun eat fish or anykind of meat.. but like to drink soup for example tom yum, soup cendawan, sup sayur... he will licks up all my left over tom yum soup sweat.gif






nope, my cage is foldable... kinda big, it's a cat / dog cage actually.. i think i better find 2 ringgit shop n get the mat, coz i saw in hypermart all the mat is kinda thick n very good quality... kinda wasted to cut it apart.. and i m building them a bigger place... so this cage will be their house n they will hv place to run around...

last nite, i gave them some watermelon, they bite 2-3 mouth n leave it, but the skin they quite like actually.... doh.gif doh.gif


oh.. i forget to say i make them a cozy for them to sleep.... but lui lui grab the place n push hang hang out from the cozy..

n lui lui poo inside the cozy until like full n she went to stuck in the tunnel with hang hang....

-.-|| too bad i was in a hurry this morning.. if not i can grab some pic on the cozy that i sew...

how do you make cozy for them.
mind teaching?
LOl. =)

i use handkerchief to sew together the sides make it like a square bowl... with 3 side or four side also can...
to make the thing stand, u can use satay stick or hard cardboard to sew it in to the side there...

very hard to explain with word... lol...

i will see if i make another one, i will post a step by step..
