My sister is getting a guinea pig sometime this week from my aunt, even though I have guinea pigs in my room, lol! Well, she's getting Mr.Stripe. His body is all brown, he's white crested and he has a stripe going down from his crest to his nose. It's so cute! I'll post pigtures of him and his cage when he gets here!
Well, last night I went through and thought about what my sister needs to get for him. I get bales of Timothy Hay, so I'm going to let my sister use the hay- It's not fair to make her go buy a big messy bale, lol. Well, here's my list:
Bedding(aspen and carefresh layered)
water bottle(16oz)
Hanging Hay rack(from the top of the cage with the bell at the bottom)
Alfalfa hay
Heavy Food dish(2, veggies and pellets)
Fiddlesticks(wood hidey house)
Pigloo
food (pellets and veggies)
Does my sister need anything else added to this list? I think there is something missing, but I don't know! Since Mr.Stripe is going to be by himself, my guinea pig Peppy is going to have floor time with him everyday. They've already met, and Peppy was popcorning a lot with Mr.Stripe playing with him, even though Peppy is almost 5 and Mr.Stripe is 9 weeks. I'm also giving my sister hanging toys, and a roll back- my pigs don't pay attention to those! They'd rather sit around than get some excersize trying to reach the bell to ring it, or push over the toy... Hehe. I'm also just going to the regular old dollar store and getting her some push around balls (with bells in them) to add to the fun. Also, it is okay to let pigs have Timorthy and alfalfa at the same time, right? Because Alfalfa is expensive and we don't want it getting soiled on the ground, we're putting it in the hanging hay rack. We are going to put the timothy hay on the ground so he could tunnel through it.
What are the best store bought pellets? The kind I use, and I can't switch back because I can't order offline(trust me, I would if I could) has the stupid ground corn. Is this really bad? I've heard it's just a filler, no nutritional value. But I don't know of any other 50 lb bags that I could get without having to order offline . Is this okay though? It does not have anything else that is from the list to avoid on guinea lynx, thank goodness. My sister can't order offline either, she dosen't have a credit card. So what are the best pellets that you can buy from a feed store, pet store?
Thanks for reading this long thing, I want to make sure Mr.Stripe gets the best life with my sister, just like mine do with me lol! He's getting a 2x3 also, I had to bribe my sister. She wanted to get a 2x2 even though she's got ALL that room space. Well that's all, thanks for reading!
