Good idea or bad idea?

Sorry to vent but some people are so rude. So yeah, I have to give up my chins. I am trying all outlets including craiglist. Maybe I wasn't clear that the price is mainly for the supplies and not the babies. I get you can't charge for them. So I get a reply.. "Read what it says at the top of...

So for the past few weeks, my boys have been having soft poos. This started out of nowhere. We tried different things to see what may be causing it and it seems to be the food. We removed the feed for a week and left them with hay only and it seemed to have gotten better. We put food today, same...

So after a number of months my liners are starting to have lingering pee smell despite the detergent and vinegar. Anything else that can be used or do I need to replace them all? They are not cheap and I don't really have time to make new ones.

I don't know if anyone has read them or is interested, but I have a new blog post on my site. They are pretty lame but it's been fun doing. So check it out if you'd like and drop me a note. Thanks

I wanted to order these alphabet blocks. The lady told me they were made out of white birch and she has had chin owners buy them before. One site i look at listed birch under safe and not safe wood. So which is it? I want to be sure in case I decide to sell using them.

So I think instead of bonding more with my chins, I am having the reverse happen. It is getting harder and harder for me to get them out for playtime. Maybe it is just me since it seems my husband can get them out easier. I try to pick them up and they just cack at me and jump right out and then...

My husband just saw for the first time one of my boys cleaning himself. It was the funniest reaction I ever saw. I'm watching TV and I hear an Oh my God!!! I looked at there he was. I had a good laugh at him. Asked him if he was jealous :rofl: And I haven't posted any pictures since I first got...

Have any of your chins when resting or half asleep ever making a small, quiet squeak?...it almost sounds like one of those person who has that high pitched squeaky short sneeze. Is this something to concerned about or is this just another chin sound? I've only heard it in the past week or so.

How long has it taken your chins to adjust to a new cage? How did they act? Anything I should do or watch out for?

Do any of your chins move their mouths when they sleep like they are chewing? Is this normal or could there be a problem? I know they sleep with their hay cubes in their house and wake twice a day to eat. Sometime I hear them chewing but other times they are asleep, eyes closed and the mouth is...

So ever since Fatso over heated one day after playtime when the temp in the house rose eithout us noticing, he seems to be more prone to overheating. His brother is just fine at any temp. It happening again today. Yes it was a little warmer but I turned the A/C one before playtime. Last week it...

Well I woke up this morning and walked into my living room only to freeze and scream at my husband who was still sleeping "YOU DIDN'T LATCH THE CAGE!!!!" That got him up quick. Well, my boys were in chin heaven last night. They went everywhere, bathroom, office (even hopped to the chair and up...

I just say a craigslist ad for a Ferret Nation (used) for $80. I'm so excited...I emailed them asking about its condition and my husband said yes. I've been so jealous of everyones FN and I may actually get one.... YAY!!!

So I am getting ready to switch from Mazuri and I have heard a lot of talk about PANR and then some about Nutrena. I found a place near me that has both but I was wondering which one is better or if it is just preference.

So my chins are chewing on cardboard and pulling off bits of paper (like off of those tubes) and eating them? Why do they like paper so much? and is it bad for them?

This may be moved if in wrong place..thought about putting it in the sell forum but I'm not selling anything yet and didn't know how many would see it. If anyone is near or is coming near the Chicago/O'Hare are and is interested in spliting a bag of PANR, let me know. I found a place near hear...

I was wondering if those salt spools they sell are chin safe chew toys?

Okay, so I think Fatso is starting early. He's four months and his behavior is starting to change. A little more aggressive. Started cleaning himself, humping his brother. He used to be the more friendlier of the two, now he stays further away from us, doesn't even want to come out of the cage...

So Fatso loves to escape from the dining room during play time. He has learned that the cardboard used to block the door can be pushed and scratched enough for him to slip through. Well NOT tonight. I put a chair and my vacuum on either side holding the folded edges of the cardboard against the...
