Expert Profile: Cerian C.

Expertise:  I can answer questions with behaviour and what's something to expect at a time or what's normal what's not. I can give tips on common problems about boars or sows fighting/bullying. I may answer questions about mating although I do not recommend it if you have not researched about breeding guinea pigs as for some sows and unprepared owners, the pregnancy may be fatal to the mother and pups. You may ask me about C&C cages and housing, along with bedding material and what's recommended. I may answer a handful about dietary pellets, timothy hay, fresh fruit & veggies. I may help you out with home remedies that may be fixed at home like a common colds, mites, dandruff problems or itching..etc. Although with some illnesses I will be recommending a trip to the vet or asking you to be more descriptive as I do not want to provide the wrong information. I can help out with questions like if you live in a smaller space and cannot provide proper free range time, I have ideas for small spaces and cage ideas. I may give you instructions and advice on homemade toys or commercial sold toys and if they're safe before you try them out. I'm also able to answer boar 'issues' whether they're about bullying or just behaviour problems between boars, I have many ideas that can still allow both boars to be kept together and be friends, or about introductions when they first meet.I'm good at giving out advice about grooming short and long haired and nail clipping as my methods have also worked effectively. I give advice to owners with fussy guinea pigs that dislike getting trimmed nails and ways to help out. I'm good with keep the teeth kept down at a reasonable length to be able to chew as it is painful for guinea pigs with long teeth and may cause many problems.

Experience in the area
I have my own boar piggies living with me, currently two of them. My guinea piggies get along great as they first met.I have started researching about guinea pigs since I was 11, I always wanted one and at age 12 my parents were convinced I was ready. I have many books on guinea pigs and I still refer to them as I am playing with my piggies or just during leisure time. I'm still looking for guinea pig books as I am constantly interested in guinea pigs and their fascinating personalities, no two are the same! I have given descriptive and effective advice to my friends who would always asked, so I decided since they were effective that i'd share my experience with others that have questions about their guinea pigs or if they're planning to get one!

2009-01-01  guineas... Rezza, I'm confused, are you trying to breed them? If you are, it's not very recommended as if you're not experienced you and the guinea pig will have complications. I'm not sure why Brad would be biting...
