    Tail wagging and spray?

    I had a question that isn’t important but I’m just curious…my chin Tank wags his tail and sprays at the same time when I scratch his back area. He doesn’t move away like he’s annoyed but instead he stays in the same area as if he likes it. I’m just curious because I know tail wagging is usually...

    Ear redness/scratch

    I noticed that my chin Tank was having these red spots around his ears. The first thing I read is that it could be due to extreme temperature levels. We usually have Tank exposed to 60-69 degrees because it seems that he handles it fine. He always like to cozy up in a hammock or somewhere warm...

    Safe board from Home Depot?

    Hi guys, is this common board from Home Depot safe for chins? I can’t find anything that says common board is safe or toxic.

    General Questions

    I know the breeder I’m getting our baby Chin from has a different type of food, since it’s thicker. I’ll see what type of food she’s feeding him. Cage wise, I’ve built him the base but since I wasn’t sure on how many levels I should give him access too, I’m still waiting on adding the hideouts...

    Pet insurance?

    Thank you! I’ll go with your idea of just having a savings fund for our new chin!

    General Questions

    Hi everyone, I’m getting a new chin towards the end of July. He’ll be around 8 weeks old when I get him so I had some general questions about health and diet (simply because I’ve had an adult chin but not a baby until now). If you guys could answer some questions, I’d greatly appreciate it...

    Pet insurance?

    Hi everyone. Since January, I lost my precious Minato from something we weren’t sure of. After various emergency vet visits, we thought it could’ve been something neurological or a heart problem. After having his symptoms of constant fainting and dizziness, in a series of 3-4 days of hospital...

    Mr. Minato goes to Heaven❤️

    Thank you so much. I agree with you, I don’t regret a single second spent on him and I won’t ever take it for granted. But thank you, it means a lot.

    I’m sorry for your loss as well, I know it’s hard:/ The same happening with your puppy happened with Minato, it’s so hard to watch but it’s even worse to know what they experience. That’s so sweet! My Minato was around 10 years old (never was able to figure out the age) but I always called him...

    Thank you, I’m thankful for your response. I’m also sorry for your loss with your other chins, they are all so beautiful and kind. I know we’ll soon enough meet them again. For now, I like to think they’re watching us in heaven while eating all their favorite treats!

    Bar Biting

    Hi! What type of chew toys are they? Maybe the chew toys aren’t necessarily helping his teeth or he doesn’t like them at all. I’m guessing it could also be some stress? Or I could guess that he wants even more playtime? Chins are very funny babies and they all have different and unique...

    Hello from Shetland

    Hi Dee, I’m Jessica and my chin’s name is Minato. I’m sorry for your loss with your kitties, I know they’re looking at you:) I hope chinchillas make you company. I saw you wanted to get 2-3 young females. I think as long as you do deep research, you’ll be set! This is an amazing place of...

    Mr. Minato goes to Heaven❤️

    Hi everybody, I just wanted to make a tribute to my sweet dear Minato. Minato was my beloved chin best friend. I wasn’t able to fully know his age, but I was leaning more on 10 years old. His favorite treats were rosehip, oats and more. His favorite things to do were: eat, sleep, pee on my bed...

    Chinchilla Seizure Emergency

    My chin, Minato, has currently been having seizures. Last week he had in total around 4. Today, he’s had 7 all in one day. I’ve taken him to an exotic vet and emergency hospital last night. Bloodwork was tested (it was fine), but the vet suggested to prescribe dental medications to kill an...
