I completely agree. I researched chins for atleast a year before I got mine. Mind you, had I have known about this forum I would have been way more knowledgeable, I still had most basic facts down and I never would have even considered a ball!! If an animal can't get too hot, it doesn't make...

Yep! When he was little he glowed pretty bright and was extremely see through as you can see from the picture but he's kind of lost that now that he's bigger. I haven't shone the light on him for a while since it bugs them with their lack of eyelids and what not. I never knew they could...

I just told her about the danger of the ball so hopefully she throws that thing away!

They don't because they can't come out of the water but they do walk around on the bottom of their tank! I catch Vincent somewhat running at times. It's really neat but kind of creepy at the same time :p

it drives me nuts that they think it's a good idea to use one of those balls! Darrell used to just run back into his house whenever he was done with this play time. His cage was on top of a toy box in my room and I would put his bath house underneath the door and leave it open and he would...

The day after my chin passed away a girl I know from my hometown messaged me on facebook to ask about chins and where she could get one. In my opinion that was a little bit insensitive considering the situation but I told her what I could anyways. Now, her and her boyfriend have one, and she...

AHHHH he is so adorable! I saw one at a reptile expo a while ago and fell in love. I just wish they got bigger. His little nose is so cute in the first photo :)

I have one! his name is Vincent. turns out 'he' is a she but I like the name so I just keep referring to it as a boy haha.

https://pinterest.com/jessiikate/ It's a bit naked right now since I used to just lurk it and only made my account today! Usually I spend all of my time on Tumblr but I have a feeling this site will suck me in too lol

I'm sorry for you loss :( Hopefully Rosie can recover completely soon as well as yourself. It is definitely not easy being around an area where a passed chin (or any pet really) used to but but eventually it will get easier!!

is the photo not working?! well, he looks exactly like a capybara but tiny lol. same colours and what not.

I'm not sure if I should stay on the forum now! I no longer have a chin and while I do have full intentions of getting another one, that won't be for quite a long time! The whole reason I joined was to get help, info, and share stories with everyone but now that I don't have a chin I'm not sure...

So if you don't already know, my chin, Darrell, just passed away early saturday morning. I spent the whole day on and off crying and just being generally upset. It's been pretty much the same deal since then too. Anyways, I went to work yesterday (Sunday) and came home to discover that I now...

Thank you everyone, I appreciate the kindness!

I live in Waterloo but I had to take him to Guelph. I couldn't find anywhere here that dealt with small exotics and I'd heard good things about Campus Estates so I went there. I feel like they are good vets but just maybe not so great with such big issues in small exotics :(
