@JasmineChannel Petland is the worst place to buy animals. They are all sick. Every single animal I’ve bought from there has gotten deathly ill and still ended up dying after I took them to the vet.

@SuperBirdA Thanks for your kindness. That’s when I found out from the vet that guinea pigs often get diseases and don’t live too long after that. That’s why next time I’m going to get something that can last for a long time like a dog. Besides the only thing left to do was to take her to the vet and put her to rest so she wouldn’t have to go through all of that pain. But it was too late.

@juicy9596 Well, it doesn’t matter anymore anyway. Just recently on April the 2nd she died from some mysterious illness. Her right side had gotten swollen and she had gotten very weak to the point that
I had to hold her so she won’t fall and hold her head up so she won’t suffocate. If only I knew what this mysterious illness was. But thanks anyway. SAD FACE.

If you have just got your guinea pig, she might be a little timid; give her some time and I’m sure she’ll start to eat. Is the water in a bowl? You should always have your water in a bottle; if you have the water in a bowl, it can spill over and cause dampness/mould/etc.

@Princess11311 hey my guinea pig was the exact same way she lost her sister and now she wont eat. Did you house the guinea pig with something? (another guinea pig.) Maybe your guinea pig needs a play mate. If not im sorry but i have no other advice.

Hope this helps!(:

I have a question. My guinea pig won’t eat the food that I give her. When I give her pellots, she’ll eat a smidge but always knocks it over, when I give her fruits and veggies she’ll only eat a smidge but basically ignore it. The only thing that that she will eat is the newspaper at the bottome of the box, the bedding and she”ll chew on the box. But mostly the newspaper. She does eat timothy hay. She’d sometimes knock down the water. Why does she do this and how can I stop her from doing this.

If you watch this girl give ”expert advice” in this series, you’ll find more often than not, She has no actual expertise to lend you…If you are wondering how to bath you GP, She just tells you, don’t.

If you’re wondering about mating or how to encourage mating, She’ll tell you, don’t.

Infact…I struggle to find any actual usable advice in any of her videos.

Pretty useless series…There are far better sources of info out there.
