Ok so random question. What exactly are health risks associated with the giving chins dirty wood? I recently was recently notified that the vendor I purchased wood from (not a vendor on this site) has been selling very dirty wood. Upon receipt of the messages I went and checked some of the wood...

Who are all the wood vendors on here? Looking to branch out and start getting the boys more variety from more people!

Haven't posted pics in awhile and the boys have grown quite a bit thought I post a couple :) Duke: My Little Guy (6 months) Jaq: One of My Beige Boys (8 months) Gus Gus: Other Beige Boy (8 months) Jester: My Chunky Mosaic boy at 608g (7 months) Group Shot!

We just received our first order for the boys from the fabulous Christine. She inspired us to really get obsessed. The entire top level of our FN is done and remodeled now. Started on the bottom half but still need to start aging and coloring the bottom ledges. Also getting some new fleece stuff...

I wanted to take a second to make a "bad daddy" post to hopefully educate some other newbies. Tonight was cage cleaning night. We took the boys out to play while I cleaned the cage. Normally this a fairly easy quick process. However, tonight was my night I also move the cage to clean behind...

I've seen on here plenty of info about what is too hot for chins, but what is too cold? It's down to 61 here tonight and we have windows open is that too cold for my boys?

Just thought I would update with some new pics of my boys. Been going camera crazy lately and got a couple good ones. Duke Play Guard Chin Duke Passed Out in his Shooper Hammock Jaq, Gus Gus and Jester begging for treats. Jaq Sleeping in his wreath. Gus Gus sleeping on his favorite toy.

So we are ready to add a good quality wheel to our cage. I was wondering where anyone recommended as a best place to order a Chin Spin from. I found a couple online, however, we would prefer somewhere that uses PayPal or takes credit cards. The ones we found only accept checks or money order and...

So one two of our boys were rescues. Our standard boy (Duke) has red markings on his fur. I have heard breeding/showing wise this is an undesirable trait but he's just a pet here so we love them and think they give him his character. He has always had a red mark on the center of his forehead...

With our squishy poos finally cleared up, I been keeping track of my boys weights every week since they are back to regularly gaining weight again. My boys are 6 months, 6 months, 4 months, and 3 months. The two 6 month olds (homo and hetero beige) and the 4 month old (mosaic) all just broke the...

I apologize if this is already somewhere, but I am most often on the forum on my phone, and nothing came up in a search. Would some people with experience be able to give some advice about traveling with you Chinnies? I am planning on attending a couple shows this year as their are a couple...

From reading here I don't think my boys get anything that truly qualifies as a "treat." They have never had a cheerio, raisin, or shredded wheat. I plan to keep it that way. They can't miss what they never had. After a recent health issue their diet was reduced to nothing but hay and water. We...

The boys got their new Ferret Nation last week. Finally went and got the last piece to be able to mount their swing yesterday and just finished arranging everything. It's a good week for the boys. Their squishy poos cleared up, they got lots of new toys from Whimsy, and their home is complete...

If anyone read my introduction thread they know my four boys have been battling a long case of the squishy poos. We have tried quite a few scenarios and the most recent seems to be working (haven't seen a squishy poo in almost six hours). Because one of the early beliefs from the vet was that...

So I just wanted to post and maybe get some input. What is the best way to get started in doing Chin Shows? Are they something that is more geared for breeders as opposed to just the average Joe? If not where is the best place for me to start? I see people posting about chapters and so forth...

Hopefully this isn't too much of a newby question. Do different mutations grow at different rates? I have four boys and I adopted them in pairs at the same age both times, two months, with the exception of my mosaic who we later found out was four months. My first two boys were a hetero and homo...

I hope I am posting this in the right section. I'm new so if not please feel free to point me in the right direction. My first question is behavioral. My hetero beige boy...Gus Gus is very possessive of the wheel in the cage. He is not aggressive about it, however, when ever any of the other...

My name is Matty (in case you didn't guess from the screen name). I am a fairly new Chinnie daddy. My first two I got April of this year, and then we added to the family with two more whom we adopted from the wonderful Whimsy. My boys are Jaq (Homozygous Beige) and Gus Gus (Heterozygous...
