Here's What Happen During Their First Introduction

That's what gets Aya 2 lonely weeks!

Who's The Loudest of Them All?

Guinea Pig: Companionship (Why?)

Since my experience with Karma, one of my biggest mistakes was, not able to give her the perfect companion in time. A guinea pig became less more stressful when they are in the company of their kind and they will be more healthier too. Not only that, your days will be brighter when you come home to happy guinea pigs everyday. That is why it is advisable to adopt two instead of one.

Guinea pigs are highly social animals. The express themselves through each other, different from when they are with their humans. Here are the benefits;

Less Stress

As a new guinea pig gets very stressful if it is alone but in the company of others, be it just by listening or smelling another guinea pig is around, it improves the guinea pig's stress level (yes, they tend to get stressed in a new environment because they are not use to it yet). This is proven.. from my very own experience with Natsu, Hunter and now Nera (pronounce as Nee-ra).

A Kind of an Exercise for Them

Guinea pigs likes to run and play among themselves. This is a kind of an exercise for them. The more they run, the healthier they are. At least, they won't become fat.

They Can Influence Each Other

When a guinea pig is alone.. they are quite jumpy, stiffy and stressed out. It could take you ages to make them get use to you, or introducing them to new food or environment. This will not happen if your baby has got a friend with them. Take a look at Fuyu and Natsu. Natsu don't actually eat oats before this but it's Fuyu's favourite and this has influence Natsu to join in the fun munching together.

Mentally Stimulates Their Behavior
Seriously, they're more happier and comfortable when they have friends also speed up the time for them to get use to the environment you provide them.

Aiko: Bonding With Mum Today!

Mummy bought me a new mini bowl so that she can separate my pallets from my hay.

I don't know what is mummy doing..

I feel so awkward she keep on staring at me so I confronted her.. She actually instagram about it.

Mummy begged for a selfie.. so yea.. I kinda look good you know?

Seriously mum.. stop it!

Stop it I say!

Mum... what's that noise? Is it daddy?

Trying to Tame Natsu

Natsu currently is the farthest baby to me. It's very hard to touch or bring her out. She would just keep on running and hide. Last night, was a rare moment with Natsu. We had this nice picture together when Natsu was being curious and vain.

And when it looks like she gave me a kiss but was actually just smelling me.

Spidey Fuyu

As you know, Fuyu is my only GP that has no problem being pet or hand held. ThThese are our very first selfie together:

Introduction & Bonding

I made a sound to stop them from arguing. This was also before I flew back to my hometown.

I got the tips for Introducing Guinea Pigs from Jakie's Guinea Piggies page and thanks to her, I made a successful attempts. It worries me while I was back in my hometown when The Asshole was complaining that Fuyu wants to bite Natsu when he tried to put them in the same cage (we put them in a separate cage)! I made a round of research to do this and I notice I have made the first step mistake where, I didn't actually quarantine Natsu. Careless again! You may hate me but I think, it's too late for that, so I just carry on first since I didn't notice any signs of problem in both of them when I came back.

What I did was;

1. I bath both of them first.
2. Then I chose the couch as a neutral place for introduction.

I call it, THE COUCH GAME! and they seems to enjoy it, I think. They chase each other, poop, and a lil arguments but still okay. No biting, just exploring while playing and pooping.

and there, they established who's the dominant one although it looks more like bully to me. Natsu has to endure Fuyu being a b****! Aww poor Natsu.. but I can't separate them as we have to let nature takes its course.
