Hey I was just curious about a few things. And was wondering if someone could maybe at least tell me what they do/did. 1. If you have 20+ chins what do you do when you go on vacation? I know some people on here have close to or over 100, what do you all do when you leave town, do you hire a pet...

I really want to go to University of Rochester for college. I recently received a $30,000 scholarship there. Its the Fredrick Douglas and Susan B. Anthony award for community service (I've been volunteering at the animal shelter every weekend since I was 12). I really hope they accept me...

This is a very sad story, a friend of mine found her chin dead today in his cage. She had a hammock for him, she found him dead hanging upside down with one hind leg caught in rope/stings used to attach the hammock to the cage. She had checked him in the morning then when she got home later she...

I just wanted to show some pics of my three chinnies. I've had little Howl, the white mosiac since he was a kit. I recently got Clover and Rukia (Kea for short), with the idiotic idea of trying to breed. Well I learned better but I love them. Howl has a cage near them but has never been in the...

I love my dog Keeley, she was a rescue from a high kill shelter as a puppy. Now six years later she's as happy as can be. I just wanted to share a picture I just took of her. She spends half of her time upside down like this.

I'm just curious what are some of the stupidest things you've heard about chins? This is just for fun, not to be take to seriously. In a pet store I was told that treats can make up to 40% of your chins diet, and can be put right into their food bowl.:hilarious: Someone else said that chins...

Okay I've done my research and feel ready. I just got two girls, both 1 1/2 from a local breeder. They are a little shy so I'll work with them. I exchanged my pet quality boys who were real lovers. I still have my lovely little Howl who I got as a kit from another local breeder. I'm pretty...

I'm just curious what will your chinny do for a treat? (Kind of like the commerical what would you do for a Klondike Bar). My little guy, hides hes shy. But the moment I bring out a chin Dandelion yogurt treat he zooms to the door and stands on his hand legs, beggined:laughitup: My other two...

Just curious is there anyway to tell if your chin has mated besides finding a plug? What if you can tell the female is in estrus (Her vaginal opening is open not closed), and when you check you see a clear like fluid in it?

My poor little girl died a age 1 1/2. Her cage mate knocked their wooden chin house down. It fell down two levels and hit her in the head. I had it screwed in and it had been fine for months but that day it fell. Mochi was a beautifu ebony, I had her from 2 1/2 months and she was my first chin...

How do you tell if a chin is in heat? If you have a male in with the female, and hes humping her is that a good sign? (I mean he doesn't connect there's no plug left but he's still mounting her) Or do males often do this? I am not yet breeding but I saw this question on another website and was...

I'm still figuring out what set up I want to use when I eventually get to breeding. Right not I think runs look the best for me, but I was wondering how do you take the breeding collar off? I've been looking at them and see how they are put on but how does one take them off of a chin?

What does everyone prefer for bedding? I know that there are numerous choices, wood shavings, paper which is commercially available and more. What does everyone use and prefer?

First off I am not breeding, but I plan to in the future and want some opinions on the best set up. Do you use colonies with numerous females and a male in a large set up or runs with collars on the female and a male who can go through the different areas?

This has not happened to me yet but I want to be prepared. I know chins can get traumatized by events that can happen. How do you calm them down?

I can't find a list of where shows are, does anyone know what shows are in NY state, and where? Or give me a link to a website that would have the show dates?

I know everyone has their own opinion on Chin Food, and I'd enjoy hearing it. I know Mazuri, Oxbow, Traditional, and Purina Rabbit are all supposed to be very good. What do you think is the best and why? I know I left out a lot of brands so feel free to add.

One of my chins bit me for the first time today. She must've hit a capillary because I couldn't get it to stop for five minutes. Its now purple and twice the size of my the same finger on my other hand. Has anyone else had this happen? Anyways now I get to spend tomorrow, Thanksgiving at the...

I am currently feeding my chins nutriphase food and timothy hay. The b reeder I got them from fed bulk rabbit food, saying that its the same ingredients (but I don't trust that they have different nutrition info I so switched to chinchilla food). Is this okay? My problem is chinchilla food is so...

I am just getting into breeding and only have one doe and one buck both are over a year old and have been living together in the same cage. They'd never had an issue and get along fine. I don't know though if my female is pregnant or how to know when she will be. I check everyday when I feed and...
