What a good idea! Treats to get her used to the carry cage so when you need it she is happy to go in! I am going to do that! How do you get her in it in the first place?

I can sympathize with your dilemma, but being nice may only make this situation worse. It may actually help the couple move on without the chin to just let them know you will make sure the chin is fine and sever all ties. Either they are naive or emotional about giving their chin up but I feel...

Hi Im a new chin owner with two babies...probably around 5-7 months old. One is very interested in his privates, and also tries unsuccessfully to mount his cage mate, no telling if they are brothers or not..............or could FRED actually be a FRIEDA>>>>?????? I digress, does anyone have a...

Hi I think this is a great idea to take your new little best friend with you. I was separated from my husband for about six months some years back. During that time I bought my children each a tiny little kitten, and when they visited their dad they took the kittens with them....feed bowls...

I hope your little chinny is okay now. I had a similar thing happen with a hamster (smaller fall of course) and he seemed fine but a few days later was not and we lost him. I have spent so much trying to save hamsters I decided to let this one take it's course as he did NOT seem to be in any...
