So I have 2 boys that I've been wanting to put in the same cage for some time now. I've had their cages about 8" away from each other and even after 4 months, they still fight!! they're constantly chattering and bouncing around trying to get at one another. Am I doing something wrong...

3 years ago I purchased a breeding pair. Last February I found a still born in the cage. It was sad, but the vet informed me that the first litter doesn't always pan out so well, so I put the male back in around August. I saw them mating a few months ago and put the date in my calender and it...

A customer of mine came in and we got on the subject of pets. As usual, I gushed about all my animals...and when I told him I had chins, he got so excited and had a million questions to ask me. He told me a story about his uncle ( I think) or close family friend that was a breeder and he...

If you have a spayed female and a not neutered male in one cage together is it the same introduction procedure to introduce another male into the cage? Will the hormones still get the best of the 2 males even though she cannot breed? I've only introduced same sex to same sex, never anything...

So this rescue that I got, came with a cage (it's crappy not gonna lie but only temperary) it's got plastic shelves but he doesn't chew on them at all. ANYWAY I came home today and went to take him out and he ATE his water bottle (also donated to me when I rescued him) His shelf looked like a...

sooo I have 2 males and 1 female...all in separate cages...my little girl has gotten kinda fat in the past couple weeks...I can't see how pregnancy is possible because of them being in 3 separate cages but is it possible I missed one of them running up to the cage during play time?? I usually...

I've decided that i like doing laundry instead of cleaning out massive amounts of carefresh and I'd like to switch over to fleece. Are there any specific KINDS of fleece I should get? I'm going to be receiving a FREE (yay my favorite word!) FN cage...god I love freecycle...and it has the...

I really want to build an entire cage for my chinnies from scratch...I have 2 males (not introduced yet) and a female...I wanted to build the cage so that it can be split in half to separate the female and the males. Am I totally crazy for doing this and can anyone recommend a site or a thread...

After being a sucker today just for going out and trying to find PANR...(see my earlier post haha) A girl at the pet store (a chin mom of 4) (not a breeder to clarify) highly recommended ZuPreem Nature's Promise pellets made from Timothy hay. My local store doesn't get PANR and she informed me...

So I posted a thread not too long ago about saving a chin's life in my local pet store. Well I went to the same local pet store today and I saw a lone cage sitting in the back with a what looked like half black and half grey chin sitting all alone. At closer inspection I saw that half of his...

I noticed on the website that there's 2 kinds of panr. one for show and one for breeding? Is that something you find in the stores and if so which one is better for my chins? ANND how do I transition the food over how many days and what % etc...

I just had to share this story cuz I feel so proud of myself! earlier this week, I went my local store to purchase worms for my gecko and I noticed that the owner had brought in a baby chin to sell. He caught my eye, he was sooo tiny and what beautiful coloring, the owner told me he was a...

What are the appropriate dimensions for an enclosure for 3 chins? I've only had the most 2 in one and am considering getting a 3rd. I know there are enclosures that can fit multiple chins (not for breeding purposes) as I've seen them on this site, I just want to make sure everyone has...
