he has a very small ulcer right at the top of his eye :( and has eye drops. Getting the drops into him is proving......difficult....

off to the vets with him this evening :) He's looking a bit sorry for himself, poor love :(

My chin seems to have an eye problem :( We noticed yesterday it was looking a bit iffy but thought he'd just mushed the fur up around it (He mushes his fur all the time) but today we've been noticing he keeps closing it whereas the other one is perfectly wide and normal. Also the fur around the...

So this morning as I was getting ready for work, Cesare was hopping about happily as he does, sticking his nose through his cage trying to get my attention. Then he hopped up on one of his ledges and made the sweetest teeny tiny squeaks I have ever heard in my life. Then when I went over to give...

Cesare likes to sleep with his legs hanging down with his bum in the air. It's hilarious!

My Cesare is a bit of a drama queen, and will shove stuff out of the way if he doesn't want it. He also chucks stuff away from him in utter disgust. The best tantrum he's had was a few weeks ago when he angrilly decided to move his cool block. This is granite, and he grabbed it with his teeth...

My male chin had the same problem after we brought him some new hay - it was meadow hay and his poos got all smushy and he smushed loads into his shelves. We took it away and gave him timothy hay and now all seems to be well. Hope your chin is ok and wishing you all the best x

phew. I thought it was just him xD He did it the other day when my other half was playing the new RE6 demo and I was all "HE'S TAKING ON ZOMBIE CHINCHILLAS HUFJSDKHSK" So cute!!! I just wanted to hug him!!!! He's not done it at daft o clock for a while now thankfully, when he first did it at...

Just sitting here watching the telly and surfing, and lil Cesare who was perfectly asleep and looking adorable started making the warning call - I wonder what he's dreaming about? Does anyone elses chins do this when they're asleep? I just melted into a ball of epic cuteness.#:) :dance3:

oooh good idea! Can you get full hammocks? He has his corner one which he snoozes on. I'm rubbish with woodwork so wouldn't know where to start with making a new level lol. Thanks :) He is a total sweetie.

Ah thank you for this. My Cesare is a chronic wiggler when I try and pick him up and I've been wondering how to go about training him a bit more. Our old chin was so against holding that I was never allowed to pick him up (plus living at home with the parentals, their words was law ha!) so this...

My Cesare hasn't started banging and rattling the doors yet but when he wants out he starts leaping up towards the latch and giving us puppy dog eyes. If we don't let him out he starts squeaking...

ello ello So you'll all remember the issues I was having with my chin chewing his ramps not so long back. Today I spent an hour wrestling with them before managing to get them off. What do you guys think? My only concern now is that he's getting a little too over enthusiastic with leaping...

Thanks guys. I'll have a play at taking them out tomorrow when I'm more awake - we just tried to work out how to remove one of them, got annoyed and the little scamps thought it would be a fun game to escape!

Thanks you guys Attached a pic of the cage - am worried the shelves may be too far apart? Plus, they're made of plastic too, but he hasn't chewed on them...yet... (The pic is from when we first got the cage, it's got other stuff in it now, a couple of wooden ledges, hammock etc) Have given him...

I'm in quite a big quandry. My chin seems to have taken a liking to his ramps, and won't stop gnawing them. People have recommended covering them with fleece and I've done a quick search to find some fleece but have no idea what I'm looking for. The majority of chin fleexe stuff I can find is...

I've had my chin about a month and like you, whenever I try and told him he squeaks like anything and squirms. He likes climbing over my hand if I go to scratch him, and loves climbing on me during playtime. But holding? He seems to hate it =[ I try and hold him gently against my chest but he...

This is probably a really daft question. Anyhow, the shelves and ramps in my chins cage are made of plastic. As is the pee-guard. He has plenty of wooden stuff to chew on in his cage as well as a hay tunnel thing, and a couple of massive chew toy things. But it seems he would rather chew on his...

We have Cesare's playtime (that poor chin keeps getting his name changed - he was a she called Lucrezia) in the hallway. Close off the front room and bedroom doors and let him loose. Hhe managed to escape in the front room the first day we got him and almost got stuck under the tv cabinet :/...

Well It seems like my beautiful girl is actually my beautiful boy! We've just changed her name from Lucrezia to Cesare Don't I now feel a little daft? lol
