So I MAY have to fumigate my house for bugs, not rodents. My question is how to ensure my chin room is chin safe afterwards. I am pretty sure I'm going to have to take their cages and all other things chin out, but what about the room? Meaning floors, walls and the few pieces of furniture that...

So I have some old terra cotta flower pots out in the yard. They've been sitting for years, collecting dust, cobwebs and what not. My question is, after washing them in hot soapy water, they should be perfectly fine to put in the cages, shouldn't they? At least I'm guessing I should wash them...

I left the dust bowls in with the boys last night. Point is somehow Moche flipped his and got trapped under it. He was in a glass bowl that was semi sealed, because the dust piled up under him and blocked the opening, worst case scenario, from 9pm till 4pm. I got him out, checked for external...

So over the last couple of weeks I have been finding huge tufts of fur in Moche and Shadow's cage. It seems to all have been from Moche. It goes in a circle around his back and a few other spots. He seems to have shrank he lost so much fur. I haven't heard anything, but I am gone all day. They...

I may be needing a vet that can handle my little furballs, does anyone know of one in the area? I live close to New Braunfels, San Antonio and in extreme situations I could drive up to Austin. Thanks!!

So now that my move is coming up I'm wondering what kind of carrier would work best for the chins, I've had to keep them in regular cat carriers before. Moche chewed his way out, but that was it-of course he as awfully agro that time, which is why he was in the carrier, fighting with...

Ok, so I'm moving back home to Texas at the end of May, beginning of June. I am going to be driving back and it will have to be a 2 day trip due to all of my animals. The cats and dog I'm not too worried about, it's the chins. I was planning on having them in the front seat of my car with the...

Moche didn't come out for his shredded whea today and now he's not coming out for playtime. He is hopping oddly but I'm nt sure if he's limping or not. What should i be checking him for and what should be doing? I'm not sure what to do. He played hard last night and I'm worried he broke something. o

I was wondering if everyone's chins have a special place/activity for playtime like mine do. Syd likes to climb all over everyone elses cage and get them all worked up. It bugged me till I realized that if he's on the cages he's not trying to escape. Moche likes to lick my feet then run away...

My boys have had the amount of playtime cut back from every day to about 4-5 times a week. They seem to be fine. They do get a little worked up so I usually put the dust baths in their cages for about 30 minutes when I'm not letting them out. My question is this, how long can a chin go with...

Ok, so I finally got Moche to sit for a hair ring check. I usually check while he's cleaning himself and have never seen one. Well he had been doing it a lot more the past week or so, and I never could catch him. I checked (wow that was a chore) and he had a huge hair ring. It seemed dried...

So I ame down stairs I found shadow Moche's half of the cage this morning. How I don't know but they seemed ok so I left it alone. They fought a little while I was at work, I found fur, but what worries me is Moche's nose. It looks like it's been draining just a tad or hit/scratched. Nothing in...

I had been rotating chins in cages trying to get them used to each others scents in hopes to get a cagemate for one. I had been using a cat carrier as the extra. I ad to keep shadow in it for a week while he healed so Ididn't worry. My best and brightest Moche was in it when I left for work. He...

Ok, so Moche is apparently being a real turd to Shadow. Poor Shadow has been hiding under the top shelf of the cage for about two days now. (He's passed out in a hammock today) He kacks at Moche whenever he comes close. He aslo took 30 mins to come out for play time yesterday and hid whenever...

Ok. So Shadow is a fur chewer. Well, one of the big boys is chewing his fur. He has a mohawk on his booty. It's kinda cute. Any way, my question is this: What do I need to do now? Is this going to become life threatening or is it just annoying to have a goregeous black velvet look like a...

Doing my teeth checks and I have one boy with white teeth. What do you guys use for calcium supplement? about once a month I throw in some cuttle bone for them to chew on. None of my other boys has an issue. I feed them Mazuri pellets, timothy hay and alfalfa cubes. They get about two...

Just wanted to post some shots of my boys during play times. Ignore the dust, hay and poos. Thurs is cleaning day. Moche apparently LOVES to have his picture taken...Syd is on top of Teddy's cage in a box of stuff, Shadow has some more twigs, then moche again.

Ok, so during play time Teddy got under the couch and just starting squeaking. When he starts this he never comes out on his own. So I moved the couch forward a bit and lifted the front end. When I looked under I had him pinned between the back edge of the couch and the floor and he was...

Ok, I tried searching, but I must be forumly challenged, I didn't get anything. So, here's the question? Does anyone have any pics of furchewing aftermath? I ask because Shadow has a shaved patch on his back, and I think he's started chewing:thinking:...Or he's scraping it on something and...

I'm not sure if I should put this here or not, so I won't be suprised if it's moved. Sorry!!!:unsure: I am trying to come up with a neat way to redo my furballs' cages. I want something that they will love, you know, take out most of the wire shelves and put in the wooden ones, extra fleece...
