Also its O.K to give them wet grass because I give them a handful of grass everymoring even if its wet.


The wet grass is fine. Hopefully it is wet b/c you are washing it. Timothy hay is what you should feed rather than alfalfa. You need to be careful not ot run out. Your pigs need unlimited supply 24/7.

The chattering probably indicates that he unhappy or is in some pain. Mites could be the culprit. Mites can't be seen by the naked eye or on skin scrapings. They can be dormant for long periods of time and pop up for no reason. Your vet can treat her with ivermectin or you can do it yourself. Check out http://guinealynx.info/mites.html... for all the info you need. Please treat her. Mites can cause serious problems and are painful for the guinea pig.

Addition: Mites will not neccessarily cause scabs or ANY other symptoms. It is a very common occurance in guinea pigs that can become serious if untreated. Read up on how to treat her and do it. Even if it turns out not to mites, the ivermectin won't hurt her any way. Only good can come of it.


maybe he is talking to you. mine squeels and chatters every time he hears me open the fridge.
ok first of al the chattering is normal definatley they like to do that and it is ok to feed them wet grass
