Do you need to sew the edges at all so they don't fall apart in the washing machine? How often do I need to change the fleece liners? I was planning on getting metal clips to keep it secure so the chin doesn't get under it. I live in Missouri, we have very high humidity in the summer. Don't want...

Thank you! I am a former sugar glider owner so I understand how important it is to be informed. Bummed out about the raisins though, my sugar glider passed away a few weeks ago and I have a ton left. Going to toss them in the trash to avoid the temptation of giving them to the new fur baby. I am...

Do pet stores sell rosehips or do you have to order them online?

What treats are safe for Chins, especially for bonding? I see a lot of people suggesting Cheerios and oats (not quick oats), but can I get the "oats" at a grocery store? What is the difference between oats and quick oats, will the packaging say? I am seeing different opinions on raisins and...

I am planning to have one by January. I am one of "those" people who like to take lots of time preparing the cage and supplies before even looking at available pets. The initial investment is so much and I do not believe in credit cards. I would rather have an empty fully stocked cage for a...

Fleece I have also seen a lot of fleece being used in youtube videos on the flooring of the cage. Do you guys recommend it? Will it cause the chin to get over heated? I know to get the chin cooling blocks too. Can I use fleece on the floors and skip the bedding all together? I am planning on...

I read a few things about the running ball online, just thought the large ones would be ok. I am so glad I asked. I have a Corgi, although he never bothered my Sugar Gliders (he was scared of them) they usually stayed off the ground so there was never an opportunity for him to "get them"...

Hello! I am considering getting a chin and would like a quick list of SAFE items I can purchase from petco/petsmart (USA). There is just SO MUCH info on this site my head is spinning! I see a lot of anti petco/petsmart items in the forums including unsafe bedding. Is there anything safe to get...
