Hello from massachusetts

Hello everyone!

My girlfriend and I are chin owners as of 2 hours ago.


This is gingerbread. He has been the most active so far.


Honeycomb on the other hand was a little shy at first but is now fully exploring his cage.

They are a pair of brothers that have always been together so they have bonded quite well.

First impressions as an owner....
love them
Boy are they soft
Wow they poop a lot.

We look forward to many good years to come with them.

Congratulations

Welcome and congratulations!

Thank you guys!

They have both done well over night and are now napping. I am very happy to say that honeycomb has really come out of his shell.

They will sniff our hands and climb over them but still have not allowed us to pick them up. I know it will take a while to earn their trust, any tips?

Welcome to CnH and congratulations on your new family.

If you go to the forum FAQ's, there is a fairly detailed thread for new chin owners there. Give that a read and I think you will find lots of helpful information.

As far as getting them to trust you goes, you can either bribe with treats(Not really the road I'd go down as treats are bad for them if given in excessive amounts) or you can just let time take its toll. When I got my first chin a year and a half ago, he was a spaz when I tried to pick him up, but after about 6 months or so, he was jumping on to my shoulder/head straight out of his cage Have to do the process all over again with the 10 month 11 month old Pastel we have now...at least I know what I'm getting myself in to this time!

Hi and welcome to the world of chinnies (and their poop!) I hope you have a lot of fun with them and find them as special as we do!
