    Chin Sudden Behavior Change, Charging then Biting

    Nope :\ He's biting everyone in the household except for me, his owner. Sometimes he charges at people then bites, other times he comes up to them, sniffs them, then bites and runs away. Often his bites are deep enough to draw blood! I'm really at loss for his behavior change :(

    Chin Sudden Behavior Change, Charging then Biting

    My chin recently has been displaying a behavior change. When he's out of the cage (for playtime), he'd sometimes charge at people then nick them at the legs. Sometimes the bites are soft so they feel like needles pricking at your skin, and other times the bites break skin. I don't know why he's...

    How to feed chin LifeLine?

    He has always been a bit underweight at around 400 grams, but since I've gotten him several months ago, he's lost around 50 grams of weight. Recently, he had conjunctivitis as well as an abscess that had to be drained, so he's just back from recovery mode.

    How to feed chin LifeLine?

How much LifeLine should I feed my chin? Should I water it down? If so, how much water should I add? Thanks in advance!

    Chin is too skinny, can feel bones

    He's pooping and eating normally, and his appetite hasn't diminished. He seems to be drinking just a bit more since when he first came to live with me. His weight loss isn't visibly apparent, and I can only tell he's skinny when I run my hand over his back; he's still fleshy in his belly.

    Chin is too skinny, can feel bones

    My chinnie has always been on a consistent diet of Oxbow Timothy hay and alfalfa pellets and Fuzzies Kingdom's organic broad spectrum supplement (consists of ingredients such as nettle, raspberry leaves, green oat tops, organic hibiscus, and chamomile flowers). However, I've had him for only two...
