tingz, thanks! yup, she was the cutest pet we ever had! too bad she can't talk
fifi, i just had my PS last friday. we have settled most stuff, still need to look for JP and register with ROM. then the tea ceremony and guo da li stuff, haven't settle the nitty gritty bits. banquet also not yet, coordinator from hotel says she will contact us in aug... heh... so nothing much to do now. probaby will need to meet up with my helpers.
skk, ah... must show us your photos! i dunno abt u, but now after taking photos, i'm a little paranoid leh, worried what if the photos dun turn out good and it's all not worth it?
how's ur wedding going to be like? dun need most customary stuff?
Guinea pigs are quite easy to keep, and can last abt 5-15 years. but they are not as easy and hassel free as hamster lor.
u need to help them change bedding every few days (2x a week), u also need to refill water everyday (coz singapore very hot, they will drink alot of water n pee alot unless they good life live in air con room). food wise, u can buy pellets, and supplement them with fresh greens. i have heard some people toilet train their pigs and let them roam ard the house, but so far we couldn't.
hamster are cleaner animals i feel, and easier to keep. they dun pee n poo that much so the housekeeping/ change bedding is less time consuming than pigs. plus they like to keep themselves clean anyway.
I have both types of animals at home last time so i know. (we used to have a hamster farm, and abt 4 pigs) the thing is, guinea pigs they respond to you, call u when you come home or when they are hungry, and when they are happy they will also let u know. plus they don't anyhow poo and pee when you put them on your lap and watch tv. hamsters are good to 'watch' in their cages lor, plus my sis kena peed on before by a hamster! seems like it's their natural instinct to run away once they are out of the cage leh.
and just 1 is perfectly fine. but remember since it will be alone, it will need more of your tender loving care. btw, they are like rabbits, they eat their poo so u musn't be grossed out.
and may be design freak can share his proud owner experience too!
