I hope they didn't take a taste test! I'd hope my guys got better taste than that! LOL! My chin from years ago did do a taste test on a dead roach that was on the floor. He munched it because it was crunchy and realized nope that wasn't good and spat it all out! His face was priceless!

Well, the other day my chins found part of a dead mouse in my 9lb oxbow timothy hay! Decapitated, mangled (had hay bits in it), smelled like pee but dry. I didn't see it when I gave it to them, but they dragged it out of the pile. Hope my chins did not take a bite of it. Thoroughly grossed...

Thanks everyone :) Poncho is a character!

Here's my Poncho :) His classic OMG stance (he's a big baby and scared of anything/evertyhing) And a picture that says it all :) Sorry for the HUGE pics-I have no idea how to shrink them down!

No logic behind mine, I just like to name mine with 'P' because it made me laugh :) For years I wanted 2 chins, Pokei and Poncho....then it just grew....:) Pokei (std) Poncho (eb) Pineapple (mosaic) Pow Pow (pw) Pancake (bv)-RIP

All my past pets have been cremated. I have them with me until I find the home I settle into. Then I will bury them all together.

Wow! I hope your chins will get better soon!

My boys too! :)

The absorbent layer is flannel. I've read people using terry cloth/towels as well. I find that layer helpful to wick away moisture so the chin is no sitting on wet fleece.

I haven't seen it in Canada yet, but I've seen the oxbow products!

My cage liners are 3 layers sewn together (fleece, absorbant layer, fleece). I have 3 per pan which for me I find perfect. I don't attach it to my cage, it just lays on the bottom as is. Every day I sweep up the hay and poop in the cage using a small hand brush and pan. Some use vaccums to do...

Definately all of the above for me!

Thanks everyone I appreciate it. I am just so sad and shocked and feel like I could have done something else. Pancake's heart was weak by the time I got to the vet. He may have suffered a stroke. I'm too out of it to really talk with either vet to get more details that I'm going to leave it...

Pancake was getting antibiotics daily after the operation. Anyhow that doesn't matter now. I took him to the vet and he just died. Thanks for everyone's help.

Forgot to add, he's shifting while trying to sleep/rest and he's not grooming himself, nor is he rolling around in sand.... :(
