| Re: New member and her guinea pigs! Thank you both for replying! I go to a specialist in exotic animals (she has worked on many guinea pigs) oddly she recommended the Oasis Vitamin C drops, due to his back she wanted to make sure I gave him extra. They still drink like crazy! They get fresh water at least twice a day and I don't put many drops in it, but I think I'm going to try your suggestion vitamin C from a syringe! All the veggies and fruits give them I try to get organic. They love Kale, carrots and oranges. I try to give them as much variety as possible. I usually give them kaytee brand pellets for food. I always check the bag to see the experiation date and such. As far as Timothy hay goes I buy whatever brands looks the freshest. The cage is some huge one that was made in Italy and has wheels on it. Since I am in my room most of the time the cage is right near my bed so they can snuggle with me on it and they love me being next to them. When I lay down to sleep at night they go to bed too! It's so adorable! The littlest is in his own cage for now, he is only 3 weeks old and the other boys are going through puberty and try to play rough, so for now I think he is best on his own. He is in the same room an get's just as much as attention as the others! He was way to young to be taken away from his mommy. Thank you for all the suggestions, I would do whatever it takes to make sure my babies are as happy as possible. They are even trained to give kisses on command! I have alot love and time for them. Hope to hear more from you guys. I have AIM if you're ever interested in chatting outside the forum. I just wanted to let everyone know if I make any typing errors, it's due to my medication for my illness, it makes me groggy and lose my memory a bit! Usually my typing is pretty good though! |
