    Bee pollen safe for treats?

    I was trying to search the treats that are safe for chins and I would like to incorporate some new things (VERY small doses) and I found local raw bee pollen at a organic grocery store. Could I add some be pollen to her treats that I make with her chinny cookies? Thanks in advance :)

    Ronda's wood- scrubbed & baked?

    Hi Everyone! I am looking to purchase wood from Ronda but she is on the other side of the country so there is a time difference. So does she scrub and bake all the wood before she sells it, or is this on the customer (me!)????? I have asked but I think she didn't "see" that question, bc I had...

    Is this blood in her urine??!?!

    Ok this is what I found in her cage just now...do I need to find an emergency vet or can I do something myself??? The only change in routine was giving her a new treat with pumpkin in it, I had bought from a highly respected vendor from off this forum. That is the only thing I can think of...

    Chin Sitters near Columbia?

    Hi I will have to do some traveling for work and I just moved so I am unfamiliar with the area and also are unaware of other Chin owners/sitters. Is there anyone on here that can refer me to someone or have any ideas? Any fosters in the area where I could "board" for a few days to a week when I...

    South Carolina - Columbia vet?

    Yes, I have moved a few times this year, but staying in Columbia for hopefully the next 15 years :) Looking for good references on a vet for Millie if anyone knows of any or has had great service and care. Thank you, if not, I will be brave and track one done without a proven track record from CnH!

    NE Ohio Vet?

    Looking, just in case, for a knowledgeable vet who has experience with chins near 44024. Tried looking on the net, but I figured I would ask here first and see if anyone has had good (or bad!) experiences in the area. I found a thread on here for one in Akron, but that is over an hour away...

    Clarification on sneezing & high energy

    I noticed Millie had sneezed a few times tonight during playtime. She would sneeze a few times in a row, then popcorn, wall surf, sneeze a few more times and then play/run, popcorn, wall surf again....She has same, if not more energy tonight, but I had remembered reading about URI killing chins...

    Weight gain- good or bad?

    Millie went to the vet for the first time NOV 30 and weighted 531 grams, and I just bought a digital scale, because I finally remembered when I was in Walmart, and weighed her this afternoon. She weighs 558 grams as of JAN 13...but I am also unsure of her age because I rescued her from Houston...

    Holding by base of tail=slip fur

    Ok sooo Millie apparently doesn't like being held by the tail AT ALL! she grunted and I let her go(I was supporting her body with other hand 2 inches above a cardboard box with her dustbath house). Then I noticed she had slipped fur probably during the process! I am not sure what I am doing...

    Why do Chins paw their mouth and whiskers?

    Wondering why Chins paw at their mouth and then proceed to grab their whiskers from the base and pull through the length? Do they shove food in their mouth for storage/transportation like other rodents (squirrels and hamsters)? Is this a natural grooming habit like how men would clean their...

    Shelled Natural nuts

    Are Chins able to eat any shelled nuts? I was looking for new treats and supplies and saw shelled nuts for sale, but not sure if they are good or nut? I am talking about Brazilian nuts and so forth.

    Chinchilla Weight

    So I took Millie to the Vet today because of her eye ( which we have medicated drops for minor scratched cornea) and they weighed her. After the Vet tech left I heard them talking in the back once they shut the door and was worried Millie is underweight. I have no idea how much she is supposed...

    FN 142 without middle section?

    I was going to post this in the FN Club, but figured i would be best here. I was looking at all the FN set ups, trying to come up with how I will gather my items for mine, when I purchase it, and I really like the vertical setup of those without the center section, so Millie can just hop all the...

    What cage do you prefer?

    I am looking to upgrade my chins cage to a much larger more efficient cage. I do not have the option right now to create a custom built one. I live in an apartment that is on the second story, so it has to be easy to clean from inside, but I also don't want to have mess everyday either. I am...

    Is barking bad?

    My chin just recently barked in a set of three barks as the lights were turned off for us humans to go to bed. I looked to see if she is ok and it seems she is. Anyone want to comment if this is normal or if I really need to be worried??

    TOO Hot?! She was barking!

    Ok so for turkey day, we drove to Dallas from Houston and brought Millie along. She's fine, eating, dusting, taking treat, plays in the bathroom. But this early morning, I woke up to her barking at me, her cage is two inches from me in the bed. I started freaking out, bc I realized I was hot and...
