    Reusing shelves after death?

    Is it safe to reuse wood shelves after the death of a chin. If so, how should they be cleaned, etc. I'm taking apart the cage of a chin who passed away earlier this month and was going to toss the shelves out but my dad ask me why not reuse them in some of my other cages, or in a cage upgrade...

    Changing Routine

    I know people say chins get used to a set routine and what not, so I try not to change things around on them if I don't have to. I've always refilled food/water/hay and given a treat between 3:30am - 4am every morning. However, now I am working 2 jobs and most days I'm at both jobs. So I was...

    Bark Control?

    I have 4 chihuahuas and my parents/little brother have a yorkie/chihuahua mix. They tend to bark for no reason and I was hoping to stop it. Barking some is fine, they are dogs and are going to bark. Barking outside is no big deal...bark all day long outside if they want. It's the days that they...

    What gauge wire do you prefer for toy making?

    I know a lot of chinnie parents buy the supplies to make their own chin toys. I know some use chain but it seems wire is becoming the hardware of choice, so for those who make your own toys... What gauge wire do you prefer to use and why? Easier to cut?
