Nerk, we wanted to get get Rory a buddy. We have seen him cleaning himself. There is no mistake, it was a penis. First time we saw it we had to take a closer look because we couldn't believe how long they are.

It is a he. We've seen it and he has never shot pee at us. And when we took him to a rescue to try and get another she even commented on it being a him.

Aside from the struggling we can't get his falus to come out. We watched the videos and have given it time and effort. Any suggestions?

Well we never weighed him before but my gf stopped by walmart and got an analog scale, yes i know, I told her digital. The scale said he is about 400-430g. He's 7-8 months old and very rather small compared to the ones she had. I feed him oxbow deluxe but ordered tradition last night. we got a...

Why is it recommended to only give 1-2 treats a week? Is this so they don't get fat? I actually need to fatten my chin up. We tried to get him a cell mate but none worked out, our maybe dwarf chin thinks he is a dog tamer, well while the rescue lady was handling him she said he was quite thin...

Just to add this, Old fashion oats means non instant. I believe the instant adsorbs too much water and will make the chin bloated?

if you are going to go for bottled water then buy aquafina. It is the best bottled water out there, I did the research. Most of the other ones are bottled tap water.

I checked and the Oxbow Essentials Chinchilla Deluxe is alfalfa based. I tried weighing him tonight but I dropped the scale and I'm not really sure i put it back together correctly but it says he is 1lb at around 8 months. I'm sure the scale is lower then reality.

Is it ok to use a two story as separate cages or do they really need to be side by side?

How long before you can tell if 2 chins can be life long cage mates? Assuming they are both over 6 months old. In my case it will be two males. Someone tried to tell me 1-2 hours.

So I had given my chin the saucer for a couple weeks while he was under 6 months until I learned that was a no no. Now that he is over 7 months we gave his wheel back to him. But he runs in it 45min to over an hour in a 24hr period. Actually that might be a bit of an under statement, He could be...

so even if it is yellow KD pine? I remember reading somewhere that it had to be white. I know not to get treated stuff.

OK, I'm tired of searching and making wrong choices. I got select pine from home depot. Guy said it was a white pine, so OK. That's what I needed. Now I look at it on their website and that says Douglas fir which is toxic. Hopefully that's what has been making Rory a little sick. Now my...

I'm moving things around in my room so we can move rory in. I have to elevate a 4 leg glass desk over 4in inches. Using brick would make me feel safer. I read that you can freeze bricks and put them in the cage if they are having heat stroke. He wont be around it often.

The flying saucer I have you can replace the ball bearing in it and the only noise was from the cage shaking.

Thanks for the reply you guys. You guys ever heard of ceiling surfing? He has now started jumping from the floor of his FN cage and bouncing off the ceiling onto his platform which is half way up and on the other side of the cage. I have a feeling that he is going to get into all the trouble.

about sticks. I read dogwood is ok to give him. I have a dogwood tree in my backyard. Am I correct in that I can cut some off, dry it, and give it to him?

I took Rory's saucer away 2 days ago when I learned that a 4 mouth old shouldn't have one. He has had one for nearly a month. I realize how irresponsible I have been. I have done a ton more reading and I'm caught up on responsible chin parenting. He seems to have increased in energy level now...
