My chin is 1 1/2 years old. This is the first time I have noticed him really shedding. Hair I'm his cage and when I hold him it's like holding a cat..lots of hair after. Started about a week ago. And then since this started...he doesn't run on his wheel at night...like he has no energy....is...

the day I picked up gizmo from his breeder at 7 weeks and I had his little stuffed chinny in his carrier. he took to it right off and loves his

I read in my research before I got my Gizmo that a radio in their room helps to sooth them especially if there are a lot of outside noises. He seems to like it. And also sitting in the room with your new chinny and just talking to them to help them know your voice and to let them know you are...

So my guy, Gizmo, is 6 months now. I decided to get him a flying saucer wheel. I've read that some chins take a long while to figure it out. Gizmo was all over it when I was installing it on my lunch break. He is so curious so I didn't expect nothing less. When I got home from work that...

I love that jungle gym...my chin is just getting old enough for full on playtime and ive been looking for something like that for him to play on. anyone have any other suggestions for play time?

Thank you so much for the advise! Im learning though. I will start reducing the alfalfa. im from a small town so I am having to mainly order everything unless I make it to the city, which doesn't happen often. I will look into the kleenmama's and see if I can find it. Oxbow just seemed to be a...

He gets Mazuri pellets and oxbow alfalfa hay so im not sure what I need to do to correct his diet. He is my first chin and I want him to have the best so any advise would be great :)

I have a 16 week old chin. The breeder I got him from only feeds her chins alfalfa hay so that is what I have been giving him and he loves it of course. I also know it is good for young chins to help fatten them up. I have tried mixing in timothy hay to give variety but he either throws it on...

1. I have a extra dark ebony male named gizmo. He is around 15 weeks old. have had him for a couple months. He is my only chin 2. I got him from a breeder 3. I have 2 Chihuahuas and a rat terrier. Gizmo doesn't mind them. He was born around dogs 4. I think it is easier. I did a lot of...

LilBubs- Gizmo strips bark off to...its so funny. I order toys from TJ's Chinchillas. they make really neat hanging toys. I get the assortment of vine balls and it also comes with some other stuff he likes to shred. AZChins- I cant imagine cleaning up after all of those little guys. One is...

Gizmo will be 13 weeks this weekend and he is so funny. I don't know what he does in his cage when no one is looking but he flings poop everywhere. I always clean out his cage after I get home from work at around 4. I did that yesterday then me and my husband went out to dinner. Came home and...

mine is around the medium size. I can sit in there with him but he is also only 9 weeks old so he is still pretty small so he still has room. you can get bigger ones if you have the room. they are so handy!!

I found mine on ebay a little cheaper when I was looking but check around :)

I think I have this same one and I love it. Mine has a Velcro attached bottom liner and for some reason Gizmo always pees on it. anyone know the best way to clean it?

I am a new chin owner myself. My little guy is 9 weeks. I have learned that they are super curious. At first I just would sit with him and talk to him. Then I would sit with my hands just laying in the cage. He climbs all over them. I had my husband to the same thing. He is also super outgoing...
