Just wanted some opinions on them... I have 3 of varying sizes sitting here that they play on while they're out at night, but I'd like to put them into their cages for cuddling. They've pretty much eaten the boxes my husband made last year, and it is so chilly in their room at night, I'd feel...

If he was feed exclusively alfalfa and pellets, than he's probably just losing the weight that he'd gained in the alfalfa. It's much richer than other hays, and therefor should be a treat. My chins GORGE on it when they get it (I buy a bag once in a great while because of that). They'll eat it...

Good to know, thank you! Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

I'm thinking about a FN double unit for our chins, but can someone fill me in on space/chin they'd available? We have 2 females in one cage, which is probably about the size as b both units combined, although maybe more narrow. The other 3 are in an (old!) Marshalls cage (think what pet stores...

I feel the same way about the tp tubes lol. We give them to the gerbils, but I gag thinking about where they've been. I think I'd be afraid mine would eat the tube. When we adopted our girls they were on Carefresh, but our other chinnie jumped right in and started munching on it, so they were...

So I'm looking around for a new cage (maybe) and came across this article from a pet store suggesting plastic shelves, cardboard hide boxes and toilet paper tubes to chew on. Obviously the plastic shelves are ridiculous.... But I have seen people suggesting tp tubes to chew. I've never done it...

Thanks! I'm wondering... Why do u keep getting logged out of the forum? I'm using Tapatalk, but CnH is the only one I can't stay logged in to. Hence, no notifications 😯😢 Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Hi there! I read your intro, and I'm so happy you were able to step in and take them out of a bad situation. As far as neutering, it sounds like a botched surgery, or an inexperienced vet. I'd suggest, if you're ever in that situation again (where one needs it done), to find an exotic vet (which...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've never heard of root elongation, and now I'm terrified of course. @ticklechin, you say "domestic diet"... I have mine strictly on Oxbow, both food and hay. Is there anything better? Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

I'm curious about that too. In one hand it makes more sense than using fleece, but it sort of makes no sense at the same time. Where does the urine go to? Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Hi there...a few years ago we adopted two female chins. They came with their Marshall cage (I'll attach a pic). We've replaced all the plastic shelves with untreated kiln-dried pine, and made them a wooden hide as well (rather than the ferret tubes that were in there, Ewwwww). Our problem is...

Hi everyone! My name is Tiffany, and we currently have a houseful of (mostly) rescues. We have 5 chins in 2 separate cages (I'll post my big question about my girls in the hygiene section). My husband and I had chins before, which we bred and had 2 litters. Unfortunately, so little was known...
