I had two bonded girls and introduced a new girl to the two. I did cages beside each other after the quarantine then tried a neateal play area. The play didn't work well so I put the most aggressive girl in a cage inside of my ferret nation with the other two girls. I waited until the aggressive...

I will have powder in my food bowls as well and believe it's just the pellets naturally breaking down into smaller bits and pieces over the course of a few days. I dump out the food dish every couple of days and clean it unless they make a mess in it then I'll clean it right away. I wouldn't...

I give my girls a bath around once a week in the winter because it's so dry. My girls scratch themselves to occasionally. It probably is t anything to worry about if it's not scratching all the time. Chins get itchy too :)

Good hay, pellets, and good water are all a typical chin needs to be healthy. You should get a kitchen scale that weighs in grams so you can track their weight and make sure they are both gaining. Also, if you haven't introduced them already don't. You should quarantine a new chin for 30 days to...

He may have dry skin which is causing him to be uncomfortable. Try to look at his skin to see if it is flakey or red.

I would like a box when you have one available. Please send me a message. Thanks

My girls aren't afraid of noise but they certainly aren't afraid of dogs. I had a friend bring her dog over several times and my girls were very interested in him. Almost seemed like they wanted to play with him. Funny thing was he is terrified of them. He would bark at them every time they...

If you can't confirm that mo is a male I wouldn't let them play until you are 100% positive. It only takes a quick second for them to mate.

It does have papaya in it. You can look at all the ingredients on http://blueseal.com

I mix blue seal and purina show pellets currently. I added the blue seal around 6 months ago to my girls diet. I saw immediate weight gain on all of my girls when I added it though they are still young. At the time two were just over a year and one was just over 6 months. I did notice that their...

I have a Leo Braun style wheel. It's the only type of chin wheel I've ever had but my girls love it. The wheel itself is silent. It's attached to the cage in 4 different spots so it's very secure. The noise comes from the rattle oft eh cage and everything in it. Not sure how to lessen the cage...

Either marble or granite pieces from the store are just fine. You can put floor tile in as well. I have granite pieces in my cage and know others that do as well.

What type of pellets do you feed him? I couldn't see the pictures.

Typo above. Plain shredded wheat. Not wheat thins. Also I don't know if it's a good idea to give a chin with soft stool anything other than just hay and pellets. I've been lucky and have not had to deal with soft stool (knock on wood).

I don't buy hardly anything from petsmart anymore. The occasional water bottle I'll get. Everything else I get from people on this site. Whimsy has great stuff for chins. I get all of my food and lots of toys and sticks from her. I have dealt with two breeders and both were very concenered about...

Shredding it is normal and ok behavior. It's if they eat the cardboard that you have to be watching for. If they eat it then it should be removed.

Is there any hair being pulled out or just grabbing? It's normal for chins to mount to show dominance. My girls will occasionally still show who's dominant over the other. If there is any blood drawn or biting you will have to keep them separate. I found the cage in a cage method to be a good...

I would get her to an emergency vet ASAP and not wait until Monday. That sounds very serious.

My girls use a glass cooking pan. I put it in the corner that they used the most to pee in when I switched to fleece. I used some soiled bedding the first time so it had the smell of pee on it. My girls caught on quick.

My girls will sleep and get themselves into all kinds of weird spots too.
