Hey guys. I'm off on holiday with my family on Monday and we're going for 5 weeks. I've already left my flat in Wales and returned home to my parents to prepare for the trip. Pixel is being looked after by my boyfriend who is staying behind. I was just wondering if anyone had been away from...

Thanks for the advice guys will get on the case :) Might get vitamin E right now whilst I wait for bag balm to be shipped :)

I am also in this situation, I cant find bag balm for a reasonable price in the UK. What are your thoughts upon using lanolin ?

I don't really have any advice with regards to the medicine affecting your chin but I would get rid of the calcium stick as they are not a good treat and maybe having an affect on digestion as well. I used to buy those for my chin and they changed his droppings a little bit. The honey and grains...

I wish Pixel was tidy lol! I have to keep his food bowl on the ground now as he will only push it off the shelves if I put it there. He likes to pull his hay out of his hay rack and just drop it on the ground, same if it's in his house. Such a messy little critter but I love him all the same!

When I first started letting Pixel out for runs, I remember one time he hid under the wardrobe and refused to come out and did exactly the same thing with the treats as Kir did. After trying to get him out through bribery we thought we'd leave him for a little while incase we were stressing him...

There's some really good advice above and I would like to add as well that even just sitting in the same room as your chin with her in the cage and gently talking to her would slowly get her used to your presence. She has got a lot of adapting to do in her new environment and I agree you should...

Lol! Luckily I haven't had any damage done to my hair or eyebrows yet. Pixel is very adamant to sit on my head and groom my hair but I will try and keep him in check incase he gets a bit too carried away! I wish I could give him scritches to say thank you but he's still not into that at the...

Haha! Aaww thats so cute! I wish I could fit through Pixel's door like that! I spoke to a chin owner yesterday about him grooming me and eating my hair and she had never heard of chin's doing it to their owners. It's quite sweet that he wants to take care of me hehe. Yeah I heard they were...

That is hilarious!!! Love it :D

Hey guys, just recently Pixel has become a lot more close and trusting of me and my boyfriend. So close that he feels the need to climb onto my head and groom me. It's pretty cute, if a little painful lol. I was wondering if any other peoples chins do this? He lives alone so maybe he misses that...

The breeder told me the day I purchased him. Although I got him from a big chain pet store, the breeder for the chins worked in store and she explained that it was nothing to be alarmed about and that Pixels daddy has the same problem. I have taken Pixel to the vets a few times just to make sure...

Pixel doesn't really allow me to scritch him yet but he has slowly allowed me to stroke him and cuddle him, I think scritches are the last hurdle. So there is always hope :)
