Farm Update

On the way to recovery..

Piglets with skin problem.
Guinea Pig have sensitive skin and because of that
their often used in cosmetic testing.

Macam Alien.
Usually skin problem occur when their stress, babies that a month old, Oldies, ill for so long, death of a friend, sow that recently gave birth or during pregnant period, fungal infections..

It take about a month before skin is back to normal.
You can take care it yourself.
Just using anti fungal cream, clean their home every day and make sure the piglets take their bath at least once a week..

Tow gave Birth after Diasoka on the 20th May 2012 Sunday morning.

Just one.
Usually Tow will deliver two babies but not today,
baby will grow much faster and healthier b'coz of more milk for himself or herself?

Tow litter is much bigger than Diasoka litter maybe because of the born rate..

Kit's For Your Piggies

Here at TobyFarm…

Question.
“Mana makanan yang sesuai ah? Bole ka kalau kasi pellet rabbit utk G’pig? (Boleh)… Apa tu vitamin pellet? Di mana ada jual tu tempat makanan & bottle minum G’pig?”

Some one ask me that questions… Memang agak susah sekiranya kita ingin membela G’pig without all this equipments kan? Me at first time piara G’pig pun mcm tu juga. Without any preparations (betul2 zero preparations ni, smpi pellet dekor pun teda… Hahahah), we bought 2 little baby piglets. The cage are from our previous ‘ayam serama’ cage, we just make little upgrade on it.

Ignore my spelling & writing skills!!! Just take the good stuff!!!

So, at first 1-3 days at home our little baby piglet named Toby (boar) & Tow (Sow), now I used to call her ‘Mama Tow’ (sow), only eating what we had on the ‘Ais Box’. Hihhhhi, semua jenis makananlah kami bagi… Baca2 about how to take care these G’pig pun hampir teda, only the basic ja kami ada balek2 kunun (We print out the basic info from Google). & from our baca2 time, we found out that this G’pig need food that contain high in fiber, so we think about oat? Hahahah, gila lah kan? Oat mimanglah expensive! Hahahah, so we try giving them grass, and walaaa… they like it, Toby & Mama Tow eat em grass like they never had been fed before!!!

And from ‘botle coca-cola’ yang we cut to make Toby & Mama Tow piring & tempat minum, we bought them first real piring & bottle minuman. We upgrade the cage to be more spacious, so that Toby & Mama Tow can play ‘kuch-kuch hota hai’ and produce our first baby piglet. Hihih, The first born baby piglet was ‘macho’ little Dimitry and cute little Piggy. Like the first time we had Toby & Mama Tow, we were back to basic again and learn how to take care of baby piglet (from our experiences baby piglet need extra care, especially at their cage & food). We had amazing experiences with em, plus more to be discover yet!!! So if u are new G’pig master we want to make ur life easier by selling the needed kit for ur Gpig (piring, bottle minuman, pellets, vitamin pellet). You can get it at TobyFarm..

For Newbies Guinea Pig Master

Frequent ask Questions about Guinea Pig

Toby (Decease)

Ini adalah soalan-soalan lazim bagi pembeli-pembeli G’pig yang selalu ditanya. So, jika anda bercadang mau membela/memelihara G’pig sebagai pet’s kamurang, let’s Chekedout!!! Jangan malas untuk membaca, ianya sangat berguna!!!

Guinea Pig with the word Pig? Are they related?

No, it’s just a name. Guinea Pig (G’pig) ialah minatang (binatang) yang seakan-akan Pig dari segi rupa, sifat & gaya pemakanan. Rupa & sifat G’pig seakan Pig, sebab G’pig mempunyai kaki & leher pendek, disamping mempunyai badan yang panjang. G’pig juga kuat makan like Pig. It’s 100% not related to Pig. G’pig juga bukan keluarga Hamster (selalunya orang cakap, ‘Hamster ka ni? Besar jugak?) No, it’s not Hamster!

For more details please Chekedout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_pig!

Dimitry yang Macho!

Susah ka mau jaga ni G’pig?

Ini antara makanan-makanan yang saya bagi… Berjenis2 kan? Sayang pets, misti mau jaga baik2 mah…;D

Bagi saya, sekiranya anda minat akan G’pig it’s not hard! Asalkan anda rajin kasi bersih-bersih kandang G’pig. Kandang/cage/ruma G’pig mestilah sesuai, sebab G’pig ni ‘proaktif’ dlm memproses makanan menjadi TAHI. Air minuman juga amatlah penting, sebab G’pig2 sangat kuat minum air (melalui pengalaman saya lah). So bottle air amatlah diperlukan. Makanan G’pig juga tidaklah mahal (sekiranya anda pandai menjaga diet G’pig). Pallet rabbit juga sesuai untuk G’pig. Bagi saya rumput/hay amatlah penting dalam diet G’pig. Di sini saya kongsikan serba sedikit cara saya kasi makan G’pig2 saya; Chekedout!!!

Monday – Friday

Morning (8am-9am) – 1 kali makan bajah (pallet) + (Fresh Rumput )

Evening (6pm-7pm) – 1 Kali makan bajah(pallet) + Vitamin Pallet

Saturday-Sunday
(Oleh sebab ini adalah cuti2, jadi time makan pun ada lambat sikit la… :P)

Morning (10am-12noon) – 1 kali makan bajah (pallet) + Vitamin Pallet

Evening (6pm-8pm) – 1 kali makan bajah (pallet) + Vitamin Pallet + Sayur + Fruits

Inilah contoh bottle air yang saya bagi… Nampak tu, time potoshoot pun dekor (mereka) syok minum… ;P

*(selalunya kalau sayur saya bagi cabbages, timun & carrots. Kalau Fruits pula saya bagi, apple, orange, jambu air & papaya)

Can ka kasi mandi/bath G’pig?

Of coz lah can… :D. Sometimes ada G’pig yg suka sangat-sangat time mandi. Mine G’pig named Toby (Decease), Dimitry & Mr. Oddie love taking bath. Hahahah, betul bah ni dia prove, Chekedout Dimitry yang sedang syok mandi-manda dalam swimingpool dekor… :P

Haaa, inilah Dimitry yg loves, loves taking bath~ ;D

Selalunya saya kasi mandi dekor twice a month la. Tapi sometimes 1 kali ja sebulan, sebab G’pig2 saya wangi & bersih bah. (Hahahah, to make sure dekor always smell good, u must make sure the cage/home is clean everyday). And this are my tools kasi mandi dekor; chekedout!

Yellow pool & hair brush~

Shampoo/Soap jenama SYAMPOO… Hahahahah!~

Boleh ka cut itu nail G’pig?

Mesti mau potong itu. Kuku G’pig seperti juga kita, boleh panjang sekiranya tidak dipotong. So, kuku-kuku dekor mestilah di potong sekiranya panjang. Gunalah nail cut biasa tu. Advise, please cut step by step. Kalau takut luka, gunting dulu sikit lah. Tapi ada juga tanda tu, kalau kuku yg ada merah tu, janganlah dipotong. Jika terpotong & luka, bolelah diubati. Jangan risau, tapi next time must be more extra careful la. Sian tu G’pig… For more info please visit http://www.guinealynx.info/nails.html

Are G’pig bite? Mengigit orang kah ni G’pig?

Hmmm… On my experience lah kunun… Hihihi, Tida gigit bah ni G’pig kalau dekor tidak lapar. And don’t lah bah pigi kasi masuk jari kamurang d mulut G’pig. G’pig gigit juga tu tapi gigit-gigit manja. Hahahahah… Like a dog bah juga ni G’pig ni, kalau suda kenal maka dia gigit-gigit manja jak.:P

Haaa, tengok tu c Dimitry gigit-gigit manja ja… :D

Boleh kah kalau bagi makan sayur & buah-buahan ja?

Alolooo… Jan lah bah bagi veggie & fruits jak. Macam jugak kita ni, mana bole makan sayur and buah jak kan? Kan? Misti makan nasi jugak kan? Hihhihi… So, tu bajah/pallets tu macam nasi lah untuk tu G’pig tu. Makanan ruji katakana. Jadi pililah pallets yang sesuai, kalau kurang pasti jangan malu, jangan segan tanya ja sama tu kedai. Sure dorang tau jugak tu. And kalau malas mau Tanya, bah apa lagi just Google it Bah! :P

Cabbage, cucumber & fruits adalah makanan sampingan G’pig (Mama Tow)

Macamana mau tahu G’pig mengandung/pregnant?

Slalunya saya kasi ‘kawan’ Gpig male & female saya dalam sebulan. Pas tu, sure G’pig female saya pregnant (melalui pengalaman saya lah). Senang jak mau tau weather tu G’pig pregnant or not. Besar tu stomach dia, makan pun makin besar lah. So, kalau suda pregnant, saya make sure to separate female G’pig from boar G’pig. Sebab ni male G’pig sangat ‘proaktif’ bah kalau bab-bab ‘making babies ni. Hihihi. Kesian tu female G’pig kena bubut-bubut (macam filem kuch-kuch hota hi bah ni male bubut tu female G’pig). Saya memang kasi asing lepas tu female G’pig pregnant.

This is Mama Kubis, she is pregnant… So saya kasi dia cage yg besar lah… Senang sikit kan Kubis~

Berapa lama itu piglets susu sama Mama G’pig?

Menurut fact/fakta, 21 days is enough. Jadi after 21 days u can separate baby piglets from Mommies G’pig. Jangan risau, baby piglets’ sangat pandai. Pas ja kena beranak terus pandai makan & minum sendiri tu . So, aged 21 days is good enough to separate them. Sebab, kesian juga tu Mama G’pig, kurus kana minum susu. Hihihi~ And male piglet boleh mengawan suda as early 1month aged! Walaaa~

Begaduh kah kalau jantan sama jantan di dalam 1 cage?

From my experience lah, gaduh jugak oh. Kalau suda besar baru kasi gumpul, gaduh tu. Jadi kalau kamurang mau kasi sama-sama jantan dalam 1 cage, make sure dari kecil lagi kamu kasi 1 cage sama-sama lah. Sebab kan, ganazzz jugak ni male G’pig tau kalau gaduh! Macam dog fighting bah. Hihihi… (Ni tida tipu tau, semua from my experience). Betina G’pig pun pandai gaduh jugak, so kalau mau kasi 1 cage misti dari kecil lah. Alah masam itu peribasa ‘Melentur buluh biar dari rebungnya’… Ahahahah, ntah ngam ka tida ni. Hohohoho~

Ini c Mr. Oddie & Encom~ Bestfrendpig kunun dekor ni… (Male dua2)

How to checked gender as early as newborn?

Kalau saya campin suda mau cek. Hahahah. Tapi kalau mau kasi terang, susah sikit, so please visit this for more info http://www.guinealynx.info/sexing.html Chekedout!!!

Mommies G’pig eat their baby/piglet ka?

No. Mommies G’pig don’t eat their baby (this make G’pig very2 different from Hamster, so please noted. G’pig in not Hamster family). Lahir jak ni baby G’pig terus ada bulu, pandai jalan, pandai susu. Me at 1^st time seeing this was so amaze. They don’t just look adorable, but very cleaver! Mommies G’pig lovesss their babies so there no reason to eat them. (Sometimes I wonder, they not animals, but precious little creatures kadang-kadang mengalahkan kita…) Mommies G’pig only eat placenta yang tetingal, itu pun bukan semuanya. Yang lain kamurang kenalah kasi buang.

This is Momma Diasoka (Pic just after giving birth, maybe in few minutes) See, they lovesss their baby!~ They just too Cleaver to eat them!

Ha, ni after few hours… See they can eat oreday by their self! Very lah the Cleaver!

If/jika/kalau mau kasi asing baby piglets (aged 21 days) macamana?

Hmmm, seperti biasa lah. Macam mau jaga G’pig baru. Cage misti ada with the floor mat, palates, alfalfa hay, fresh grass & drinking bottle. (fruits & veggie can be given twice a week, sb terlebih vitamin pun inda boleh). Jaga seperti G’pig matang, cuma baby piglets needs more attention lah (dari segi kebersihan).

Haaa, ni baby piglets aged 21 days ni… Saya suda kasi asing from their mommies. Tu yang besar tu bukan mommies dekor tu, tu ibu tumpang Piggy. Hhahhahah~

Kalau saya pelihara sepasang/ a pair macamana?

Bagi mereka yang ingin/bercadang menjadikan G’pig sebagai pets, ini serba sedikit advise lah. Saya bagi situation-situation macam nil ah:

1^st time Piara/Membela G’pig

1 situation

· Best for u to piara 1 ekor dulu lah.

· Lepas suda rasa bole handle lebi dari 1 G’pig, tambah 1 lagi (misti sama gander lah kio).

· Kalau rasa-rasa miming boleh handle G’pig lebih dari 2. Pigi situation ke 2.

2^nd situation

· Kalau suda Berjaya d situation 1 bolelah piara a pair of G’pig.

· U must know that G’pig sangat ‘proaktive’ making babies, jadi pandai-pandailah kawal.

· Jika terlalu banyak suda G’pig kamu, bah apa lagi… Kasi orang jaga lah. :P

* Food&cage mestilah sesuai dengan jumlah tu G’pig. Jangan kedekut mau beli cage yang lebi luas. Macam saya, saya buat sendiri semua cage-cage d TobyFarm. A bit susah lah, tap if u lovesss G’pig make sure they comfortable with what u sediakan.
