My girls are about 5 months. Both will step up in my hand to get a treat and greet me when I open their cage door. But, they don't want me to try to scratch around their ears/head. How do I get them to realize they might enjoy the scratching?

I can't wait to get the pans. They've got to contain some of this poop!

How many people keep more than 2 chins in a FN?

Sorry if this picture is not straight, but it was enough trouble to get it in here! ;) We are new to chins and this is our new CN. We are waiting on some custom fleece items to arrive, and a wheel once they are older. Looking for some good toy sources though . . .

Whew, finally figured out pictures! These are my girls . . . any name suggestions?

Which size do I get? http://www.flyingsaucerwheels.com/wheelinfo.html

I do hope to be able to litter train them. I'd much rather change the litter box everyday vs wash this fleece. Shavings seems so messy ....

I have two 4 month old females in a double critter nation. After about 2 days their cage smells like urine just when I walk by. It is currently fleece lined and I have a litter box with newspaper pellets I think. I know they don't use the litterbox religiously but they do pee in it sometimes...

I have 2 4 month old female chins, sisters. I have the opportunity to add another 4 month old female. Do younger chins get along better? I know I would still have to do a slow introduction - just hoping the chances of them getting along better would be in my favor because of their age...

Hello, Looking for a young mosaic . . . prefer a female, but would consider a male. Located near Atlanta, willing to travel up to 2 hours. Thanks!
