Question not related to the teeth issue. When you say: "I personally was thinking putting them (3 girls & 2 Boys) in their playpen" do you mean putting the males and females in the same playpen at the same time? If so: 1) are they spayed/neutered? 2) are you wanting to breed (because there will...

Thank you for my morning dose of cuteness :)

Aww, poor girl will just take some time to settle in and learn to just. I used to have a rescue (passed away in January) who was saved from a fur farm and it took months before he stopped running away from me. There is some great information on bonding on this site...

The edges are not sharp, they are smooth and rounded, they definitely would not cut a leg that runs by. Generally if one hops on while the other is going it just results in them topples-ing off, I haven't come across any horror stories where one gets injured...plus, it's only about 2 inches off...

My boys are poop machines at night (every morning it's like 'whoa, high five boys!', but next to nothing during the day when they are sleeping and eating much less. It's normal :) If they kept pooping in their sleep they would wake up on top of a little pile lol

My boys are in the habit of jumping in unison to the same location and both topples-ing back down the way they came into an adorable pile of chin lol

This is the cutest thread ever! If I ever manage to snap a pic of my boys sleeping (they tend to wakeup when they hear the camera focus) I'll be sure to post it :)

Also with the scale, make sure it's digital and measure in grams! :) Good luck, I hope he's gaining weight and that they both turn into healthy happy pudgers!

Cutie!

Weigh him everyday for the first while to see if he is losing, holding steady, or gaining weight, then make a plan going from there. Some might suggest supplements like lifeline to be added to his diet to give him a boost, but I don't have experience using it so I'm not sure on that one. Maybe...

You can find it at any pharmacy, if it's not on the shelves than you can ask a pharmacist. It comes in capsules (people take it as a supplement sometimes for digestion) and you just open the capsules and sprinkle it on the food.

Switching the pellets over to Oxbow (and not going back to whatever bulk feed that he got at the store) is a good idea. Some people recommend sprinkling acidophilus (I think I spelled it wrong) on the pellets to smooth the transition, particularly when making a straight switch when a person is...

Aspen is fine for them to chew on, so it kiln dried pine, so no worries on that front, just watch that they don't start eating the fleece ;) You'll know if the chin is powdering his pellets if you see pellet powder in the bottom of the food bowl (it looks like the dust at the bottom of a pellet...

Echo-ing the removal of the cuttlebone. Those are for birds, not chins! Too much calcium will lead to kidney stones. If your chin has lots of free timothy hay to munch on, pellets, and a variety of chews then he should be good to go. As long as he's eating and drinking I wouldn't be too...

Cute guys :) The 'hunchback' look often results from a chin not eating/starving, leading to it being very underweight. Malo is definitely something that can cause this and the evidence of drool on his chest is another red flag. Have you noticed him eating hay and pellets? Does he 'powder' his...

Welcome to you and your cute boys :)

Glass water bottles for the win! Bonus: They look nicer too ;)

Congratulations :)

That cage looks great, you would just need to remove all of the wire shelves + ramps and replace them with safe wood ledges (eg. made of kd pine). This website has some great cage ideas on it and it has an example of a large cat cat similar to the one you posted being converted into a fabulous...

Sounds like you're all set to spoil your chin! Congratulations :) Can't wait to see pics! Ooh goji berries. Those are those things that my mom keeps insisting I add to my breakfast o.O No idea about giving them to chins.
