My chin was kept at around 65 all year round.

Wow, that's a huge cage system. I wonder how they clean those long shelves?

With mine it was playtime, apple twigs, and treats. He also loved to bite my dogs if they poked their noses through the cage. He hated when his cage changed. He lived 20 years and outlived several cages. He would chatter and bark at me like I had done this horrible thing to him. It didn't matter...

Grats! One time my dog breeder friend had two dogs that needed to go into the ring together, so she shoved a lead in my hand. I was wearing a horrible t-shirt and jeans with holes because I was just there to watch and get covered in dog fur. And I won - or the dog did. I was so embarrassed the...

I almost renamed a Chin Pikachu. Almost.

I'd love to get a mosaic or a violet.

Yep, when I got mine none of the books said anything about humping. Imagine my surprise. As Chewy started to mature he took a special liking to my roommate's hand. My roommate thought it was funny until one day the little Chin consummated the relationship. My roomy went screaming into the...

When I was a kid, I had a hamster and one of those balls - there were no Chin sized ones back then. Anyway, he was rolling around in the living room when my grandma came through carrying some laundry. She didn't see him and kicked him clear across the room and into the wall. He was stunned by...

Thanks. :) I need to build or buy a new cage (he outlived 3 of them). The last two were a pain to keep clean. I'm so out of the loop I've never heard of Ferret Nation cages until now. They look awesome! My best cage was the one my (boyfriend, now husband) built out of Formica, but we got rid of...

I'm not sure what the protocol is here about referring breeders, but I'd like to find someone near by. I'm in Maryland - very close to D.C. and Northern VA. I saw a Chin in PetsMart today and I can't say I wasn't tempted. I know better than to get one from there, but it was a good thing he was...

I've been talking to a local breeder, but it's too soon to get another one. I really love these little critters though. I went into PetsMart today while my husband went into Home Depot (booooorrring) and they had a gray male for $150. Yikes. I won't say that I wasn't tempted, but I stayed...

You have some lovely Chinnies on your website. :)

Thanks, I know it shouldn't have been but it was such a shock. I mean, we knew he was going to go someday, but we started joking that he was immortal when he hit 18. He wasn't sick a day of his life, and then he was just gone. I miss my little buddy.

I've never registered on a Chin forum before, so hello. I had to have my 20 year old Chin put to sleep last Monday and I miss him terribly. I had him for literally half my life. He was running in his wheel when I went to bed, and sometime that night we think he had a series of strokes. I...
