stuff that used to build my guinea pig's cage

Mimi becomes Momo's neighbour. I have to cover the center using the leftover coroplast because they keep on biting the steel when they see each other. At the same night after putting them into this new cage, momo climb up the cage and go into mimi's place! It makes me really frustrated. After that day, i put the yellow cover of the felton box on the center of the cage, with the food, shampoo everything on top (become heavy). Momo never can go to mimi's place anymore.

The teddy bear, Mimi keep on biting the fur of the bear. Maybe she thought that is hay.

Momo and mimi's new cage

Felton box is not a good idea to let them live in. When the weather is hot, inside the felton box will be extremely hot. There is no air circulation for Momo and mimi's house! I decided to make them a nice house, at the same time i can always watching their moves, or maybe they are watching our moves. :-) This picture shows momo's new house (igloo) and new cage. The previous house that black colour one, he ate it all. haha!

The cage might be a bit different from other people's cage because they are using cube and mine using top of the BBQ set that "thing" [cost much cheaper than cube and not heavy at all!!]. I used coroplast as the flooring. Then, put the blanket to absorb guinea pig's urine. Fleece on top of the blanket, to "filter" the poo poo from blanket. I used fleece because it will not absorb water. So, the urine of the guinea pig will flow down to the blanket. Usually, 3 to 4 days will change the fleece and blanket one time. Lastly, clip the fleece using paper clip. Must clip the fleece properly because Momo will try to go under the fleece (It happened few times!!!). This kind of flooring will save the newspaper and more environmental i guess.

Momo making stunt show!

very very funny Momo~~~ Trying to reach for the food~ He loves carrot very very much~

After playing together

When i have free time, i will take one box and put them together to play. I will be watching them while letting them play together. This is the picture after tired playing. Haha~ lying together makes them feel more secure perhaps!

Bath time~~

We put them in a pail. Then, shampoo them!!! I used warm water to bath them. They really like it. They will stay very quiet till i finished bathing them. Normally, i will bath them once a week. Ming is the one blowing them to dry after bath.

While we were cleaning their cage, we usually put them on the floor and let them play together. They will run here and there but they know where should go and where shouldn't.

The second guinea pig that i adopted

19th July 2008, another family member added into our family, Mimi! Momo's gf. Hahah! We made her a red house. She is a bit shy. We didn't put her together with Momo because Mimi still small and we scared Momo bully her. On that day, Momo's length is 27cm and Mimi's 17cm.

After few days, Ming made a house for momo using cardboard. He never leave the house. Guess he really like it. ^_^

The first guinea pig that i adopted

at 29th June 2008 [4 days after my birthday ( 25th June)], Me and my boyfriend (Ming), went to Mid Valley's pet shop (pets wonderland) to buy a guinea pig as my birthday present. This is the picture of the guinea pig that we bought on that day. We named it Momo. He is the cutest guinea pig in the cage. We put him in the box (felton box) with some hay, water, food and one small towel for him to sleep on. We measured the length of Momo and the results is 17cm.
