I know it's difficult/impossible to tell what mutations a chin is from look alone, but was wondering if anyone had some guesses as to this female I got last night. She's originally from someone who breeds, but the last owner that I got her from can't remember the breeder or what mutation she is.

I think they were about a month or so old when I took those pictures. Maybe a bit older.

So hard to take pics of these kits, if they'd just stop moving around, but I think I got some good ones.

Just want to make sure these are healthy gains for the kits, and losses for the mother. More so worried about the mother's loss than anything else. Mother Kit 1 Kit 2 7/31/13 672g 7/31/13 Born - 50g 7/31/13 Born - 50g 8/2/13 663g...

Just looking for some name ideas and showing off, little ones are only about 11hrs old. Both appear to be sexed as females, born to a pink white mosaic male and a standard gray female. Don't want to call their colors until they're a bit older, but open to opinions on what they may be, as I'm...

Just to update, the kits were born this morning, yes kits, two of them. During pregnancy she gained 230g, I didn't get a weight for this last week though so could've been a bit higher. Both kits are healthy, eyes open and running around the cage already at 50g a piece.

I know that there's no way it'll be even close to an exact science. However, my female standard gray I'm 99% confident is pregnant. Since 4/4 her weight has gone from 556g to 706g and her nipples are lengthening considerably. I was wondering if there was a rought estimate on how many kits she...

She doesn't have the tubes in the dust bath. She has the dust bath and the tubes in the playpen.

I never said my chin wasn't perfectly fine. Just that she never made any form of vocalizations until my rancher was brought home, and within a few days of him being there and making the noise she started. I can't teach her the noise of course, doesn't mean my rancher doing it isn't something she...

I stand by the vanilla on the nose. However, I did that during first introduction. If yours have already started the tussling, then as mentioned above, trim their whiskers, put them in a small crate, and put just a drop of vanilla on each of their noses. By the time the smell of vanilla wears...

Here is a list of safe woods from another thread that should help. Of course, not treated, but at least expands your options beyond kiln dried pine. http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34

Don't bet on that. I had the cardboard box from my 20g aquarium, empty of course, but still a big box sitting tight against my closet so that they couldn't get in through the crack between the doors. My female got the corner in her teeth, pulled it out a good 2 inches, wiggled behind it, and...

In their hanging tunnel. Here is a bit more zoomed out of a picture.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen a bonded pair do this, or if it's just my weirdos being weird?

She said 600 grams was normal weight cuddle.
