Hey I have had my chins for abut 5 months now and i was wondering how i take them out for play time? they have been dying to get out and ive let them out a few times. I made my own little play pen out of card board boxes(about 3 1/2 feet tall and my male chin managed to always escape or jump...

Hey what if i dont have a carrier? how would i go about bringing her then? Also she is rather scared of being held, but once i get her into my arms she is calm. here is a pic of her leg, it was kinda hard to focus in on it since i had to use my phone. It isnt bleeding, but it is definitely...

Haha and i just got a chin wheel, but they dont seem to have any interest at all. My girl chin tried jumping on top and rolled off lol, so i was wondering if there was anyway for them to learn it?

Hey I had this exact same question! I am rather new so im up for any corrections if im doing anything wrong. But yeah I knew it tok a lot of patience to get them to trust me and i thought having to catch them when they got out to play made me lose their trust. Then I heard about play pens, but...

Weird! Hey, um im not exacctly sure if he has fur loss. There are no naked bare patches or anything, but i can a little more than occasianly see some hair fall out or dangle between the hair thats still on his body. The hair is like the full pieces, and i can see the roots where they would be...

Hey guys thanks so much for the replies! I feel so bad for feeding them kaytee, is it too late???? I have been feeding them it normally for about two months. And they do seem to pick out everything but the pellets. They love the timothy hay and eat it all the time. I will make sure to take the...
