    Happy Chinniversary to Cleo, the chin who didn't read the book

    I have a great pediatrician, who, when I came in exasperated over the behavior of my youngest human child, said, "Well, she obviously didn't read the book!" Meaning, you can talk about typical behavior all you want, but there is always one who has to do things their own way. That's my Cleo. She...

    Early xmas for the girls!

    I ordered three good sized packages for the girls in the past couple of weeks. I have no idea why, as I have plenty of wood here. I am starting to think I have a chin treat hoarding problem! The first was from Stacey Wolf. The girls went nuts for her famous apple wood. Wish I could have...

    1000th post!

    Wow! Prolly doesn't seem like much for many of you, but its a bit surprising to me, since I had never participated in a forum before this one. When I joined the forum a month after adopting Chelsea, I thought I would read and ask questions until I felt I knew what I was doing. I was on here...

    Photo Shoot!

    I went in to see the girls tonight, and Piggy literally turned her back on me. I started talking to her, sticking my fingers through the bars for her nightly scritches, but she refused to turn around. I opened the cage door, and she jumped down onto her tube to give me the stink eye. I have...

    kitty question

    Hey all. Not a member of any cat forums, so hoping you guys can help me! I'm in the process of switching my 8 year-old cat's food. She's been on Iams for years, so I'm trying to move her over to something a little better and grain-free, Taste of the Wild. Her Iams was Indoor Weight Control...

    Lazy Day pictures

    It was a wet, dreary day in our neck of the woods. I think the rain lulled everyone to sleep... Cleo finally figured out she could sleep inside her fleece house, not just next to it. Piggy sleeps sitting up always. I don't know if you can see that she's resting her head on her little hand...

    New Camphor Chins fleece!

    I'm not sure it's healthy to be this excited about fleece accessories. But here I am, over the moon with the new shipment I received from Alli yesterday. This fleece pattern was actually my second choice but I am so so in love with it! It seems the chins are too. This is Cleo's first fleece...

    You can lead a chin to water...

    I have a poo-related question. Its kind of in response to this thread: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21381 Cleo's poos have never gotten much bigger, though she is finally gaining weight (38 grams in the last two months!) and eats a ton. She eats more pellets than my...

    New pics

    I haven't posted pics of the girls in awhile. Thought I'd share a few, along with a goofy video of Cleo. Chelsea loves Lifeline Piggy loves to pose Cleo's coming around And a short video of Cleo. Can't tell if she likes this game, or totally annoyed by it...

    Hunchback

    I have a chin, Cleo, whom I adopted off of Craigslist a few months ago. She seemed pretty seriously underweight and had a hunched back. (See original thread here) In my searches on the forum, it said it can be a sign of malnutrition, and might go away with time. The mention on another thread...

    how much weight loss is okay

    Hey all. Sorry, I've become such a nuisance since adopting this new little girl! She's lost 40 grams in the almost 3 weeks that I've had her, down to 463 from 503. She is eating and drinking now-- about 10-15 grams of pellets per day and some nibbles of hay, but she did go on a hunger strike...

    alternatives to lifeline?

    Hi. I have a new adoptee (read about it here) who feels seriously bony and who has lost more since she's been with me. The first night she was at 503 grams, now down to 470. I'm guessing she lost weight protesting the move, because she barely ate the first three nights she was here. Now that...

    New Beige Girlie

    So here are some pics of the new, currently unnamed beige girlie and a picture of her poo, 'cause, well... you understand. I picked her up the night before last, so she is still getting settled. I see poo evidence that she's checked out her cage a bit, but whenever I'm around she does not move...

    can a new adoptee have lifeline right away?

    So I found a FN on Craigslist in my neighborhood, no less. The lady that posted it had a male and female together and she was looking to rehome them together. Long story short, I adopted the female. She is a tiny little beige girl, only 503 grams and I can feel her bones easily. Her poos are...

    Question about dividing the FN142

    Hi all. I may be picking up another FN142 that I found on Craigslist. I would like to divide it into two cages. I plan on buying the Bass pans. My question is: can I just put a Bass pan without cut out on the shelf grid that has a cut out? Will that corner of the pan dip down if left...

    How much should weight fluctuate?

    Hi there. I've had my black velvet Luna since January of this year. She was on a Manna Pro mix at the breeders house, and I slowly transitioned her to Oxbow. During the transition, she seemed to be eating more of her old feed rather than the Oxbow, which led me to believe that she liked it...

    Introducing Luna

    So my 9 year old daughter asks me almost daily if I've posted pics of Luna yet. I guess I'd better do it already! I'd like to introduce Luna, our black velvet we adopted in January. She's almost a year old. She is most often referred to by her nickname "Piggy", because she makes a huge mess...
