Last night when I came home from work, my chin Sugar's right eye was swollen and the fur underneath was a little messed up, as if it were wet. However I felt the fur and it wasn't wet anymore. The eye was swollen to about half the size of the normal eye, and there was no puss. Today the eye...

How do you guys cut PVC tubes down to the proper size? I bought the tube at Home Depot, but they said they "didn't have the right equipment" to cut it for me, but that I could use a simple hacksaw. I then took it to Lowe's, and they basically told me the same thing. I used a small electric...

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate topic, since this is a family friendly forum, so if not can a mod please delete? My boyfriend just informed me that his cousin Sandi tried to commit suicide. She took 15 vicodin and 15 muscle relaxers, and her mom found her this morning. I don't know the...

I've noticed that Poopy flicks her ears downwards when she eats. She does it periodically, maybe every 10-15 seconds or so. I read that this is a sign of pain and that she could have mouth or teeth issues, so I've made a vet appointment for tomorrow morning. This will be our first visit to...

My house is being fumigated for termites tomarrow (Tuesday) morning. We'll be able to move back in by Thursday afternoon. While we're away, I'm going to move my chins to my boyfriend's house. I'll be taking all their food, hay, wood, etc as well. Will it be okay for them to move back in when...

I've been reading a lot of breeding threads for fun, and it's all been very interesting to me. But I have a couple of questions. This is all I can remember right now, I'll post more when I come up with the rest! 1. "going into heat" I understand this is when the chin is hormonal, right? How...

I don't know why this hasn't hit me until now. But you know how the food for chins at pet stores is basically crap? I just realized, there must me much better, quality food for dogs than what is sold in a store at Petsmart or Petco. My pit is three years old and I rescued her from a shelter...

My parents are both very active in this Chinese charity called the Pearl Program. The idea is that there are a lot of students in impoverished parts of China who excel in academics but cannot afford to furthur their education through high school and colledge. The program finds these "pearls"...

Since my two chins are the first that I've ever paired, I was just wondering what normal bonded pair behavior is like. I've noticed that Poopy, my older chin, will sometimes seem irritated at the little one (almost 3 months old). For example, sometimes at night when the little one is hyper and...

As some of you may know, I brought home a new baby last Wednesday to be a cagemate for Poopy. As stated in a previous thread, since I brought Poopy to the breeder's to interact with the new chin, quarantine was compromised. I had two carriers to take them home in, but the breeder said I could...

I've installed a new flying saucer for a new cage, but when i test it out by spinning with my hands it's making an odd rattling. It's not the cage rattling that's the problem, so it can't be solved with the block of wood trick. I dont have my camera with me right now so I can't show pictures...

So I visited Bowens today to get a second chin that I hoped to eventually introduce to Poopy. I fell in love with a super sweet violet girl (3 months), and a gorgeous mosaic girlie (4 months), and I couldn't decide between the two. I was also worried about which one would get along with Poopy...

My one and a half year old chin just started drooling uncontrollably. I gave her a piece of shredded wheat just minutes ago, which she finished. I then gave her the rest of the shreddie, turned my back for 2 min, and when I checked up on her she still had dropped the treat and was drooling...

So I was browsing CL today and I came across this ad for a FN 142 for $90!! I've been LUSTING after a FN ever since I joined this forum and discovered this cage. I plan on buying one eventually, but I just recently purchased a CQ Townhome and I wont be needing to replace it for a number of...
