hi emma...well tiger(the peru ) i could not take his photo...his toooooo active always run around...and the pic bcome blur...he is doing fine...well actually ...i seperate them...cos when i put them together in the cage they dun get along very well...tiger always tries to mate with her... and mimi...she's not in heat...i think thats the only prob y they dun get along together cos when i let them out to play...they can sit side by side sleeping in one corner but it doesn't last long until tiger try to mate with her...so emma how to face this problem...?if they mate will they get along with each other which i will be so happy if she gets preg haha...and they can stay together... btw they are in two different cage so they dun see each other...? should i put them in the same cage and put a wire in between...? or should i wait until she get into heat and then put them together...?how do we know that they are in heat...?or is there other way...?other then sterellising them..?

how big are the cages u are using? if u wana house the 2 of them together, gotta use a bigger cage so that she can "run" away fr him. Usually he will try his luck with the female gp even though they are not in heat. But he will get the idea when she keeps rejecting him. it's quite normal. Dun worry. His daddy is not as persistant as him with females. So that's why, there is only 1 pregnancy so far, even though i had them for more than 2 years. Usually it's quite easy to see that she is in heat cos he will keep chasing her non stop...it's quite traumatic to watch cos the female will keep screaming & running away...very very noisy...so most of the time i will separate them when she is in heat cos it's very noisy & it usually happen in the middle of the night. Usually happen once every few mths. He is a bit timid hor..among my piggies he is the most timid...haha...i find that gals are usually more bold compared to boys. Whenever he comes out for walk, he will run away very fast when u walk near...like very scared that u will catch him. He is also very greedy...u try eating fruits in front of him, he will walk towards u begging for it

emma everything u say about tiger is so true whahaha...when i let him out...he is always running away from me when ever i want to hold him or pat him haha...and is true that female guinea pig are more bold as my female mimi she's very bold haha she's always running here and there and not scared at all...tiger is always running away when i go near him,he will run very fast...abt the fruit thing haha i will try eating an apple infront of him haha... the cage is 80cm...actually b4 i put them together,mimi had been staying for at least 2 days alone having the whole cage for herself...then when i get tiger...i let both out running around in my living room...it was ok mimi was running around,the tiger was chasin her from the back...then i saw them sitting side by side in one corner...i thought they were already getting along...but when i put her in the cage they did not get along well...so i seperate them...mayb i am going to use a a grid to seperate them so that they still can see each other...cos now they were seperated using a plank of wood...so cannot see each other... when she's in heat...the male will chase after the female and the female will scream...haha how come instead of staying still and let the male do its job...they must chase each other 1st and scream haha...like indian show run around chasing each other behind the trees singing haha

hmm...for my piggies, whenever the female is in heat...she still run away fr the male piggy...dunno why..so when the male chase after her to mate with her, she will keep running away & wheek very loudly...seem very unhappy about the attention fr the male piggy. Tiger is rather timid but he still like to come out for walks he is always out of his cage when he was staying with me...except when my dog goes near him, then he will run home very fast...hahaha But i feel that his love for food overcome his fear cos there was once i was feeding my dog some watermelon & he & his mum was near the dog & when my dog dropped his melon, he walk towards him & stole it?! Luckily my dog did'nt bite him! He has a funny habit when he was staying with me. He use his food bowl as his toilet bowl. He will sit on his food bowl to poo. The food bowl is a bit small so the poo will drop outside the bowl. So u'll see all his poo surrounding the bowl...very funny. It always amuse me to see him pooing cos he will stand on the food bowl & raise his butt a bit & a poo will drop off...hahaha Everytime we see him on the bowl we know he is doing his "biz"

oh, if ur food bowl is big, he will pee in it cos he likes to sit/stand in the bowl to do his biz. so if the bowl is smaller, he wo'nt be able to pee inside.

haha..that's great so they are staying together now? I'm glad that they are getting along.
He likes carrots & cucumber i feed him once slice each every morning. My piggies are used to my feeding regime so every morning when they see me thy will make a lot of noise. I tik they can recognise me cos they don't do that when my other family members walk pass them in the morning.
