It is a male.....I actually owned him and sold him to Altamonte chins....he is a breeding machine lol....and a very sweet chin.

I had a chin that I removed the male 3 days before she delivered her kits.....108 days later she had 2 more kits....that was how I learned that they can still get pregnant right before they deliver....

How long have you had Ruby? A breedback happens when a chin is mated right after giving birth. In some instances a chin can get pregnant a few days before delivering a litter but I am not sure how many days exactly that can occur but it is a short window

He's a defect....you better send him to me....lol he is gorgeous!!!!!

I had a chin that was born a tan color all over except the tip of her tail was white......a year later she is all white

I would like to call her Mine!!!! haha

I gave her meds last night and this morning she sounded better and her eye was not runny. Took her to the vet this morning and had xrays done...her lungs look clear and the vet said that you could barely hear that she was congested...we are going to keep her on the TMS and the eye drops for 7-10...

My vet called me back...since I have the meds on hand he told me to go ahead and give a dose of the TMS and also use the eye drops on her eye. He said to keep an eye on her and any signs of her declining to call him ASAP and he will meet me at the office but for now to get meds started and as...

Tabitha- the emergency vet won't see chins here...I just called my vet and I am waiting for him to call back....I have TMS on hand should I give a dose now or wait for the vet to call?

Thanks!!!! I know there is a risk and I have mom's health as first priority...I just want to try to prevent anything happening to the kits because that may mean a c-section down the road....I think she is too far along in her pregnancy that it would be a reabsorption....I just want this little...

Not sure if this is the right thread to start this in, but here goes I have a chin that I believe is pregnant....I don't palpate but when I hold her her belly is firm and she has been with a male so chances are she is pregnant....I think I may have felt a small kick tonight but not sure if I...

I feel like such a slacker this month since this is my third surprise...lol I have been keeping my eye on this chin because I suspected she may be preggers but she never showed signs...she is very friendly and will let me slide my hand on her belly and it never felt very hard and I never felt...

It is most definately wait and see....just this month I have had 3 surprise litters...one was twins and the other two single kits...I had been keeping my eye on 2 of them because I suspected pregnancy but they hid their symptoms well....the one with twins was a big surprise... Just last night I...

Thursday while cleaning cages I found yet another surprise....mom had not clued me in that she was preggers...she hid it very well!!!! She is paired with Huffalump who was born to Chimi and Chuey last year....I was just telling a friend that I thought he was taking his time to mature...lol He...

Awwww....where are the pics!!!! I have a baby chin that I jokingly refer to as baby Jesus because when I got mom they also swore no other chins have been around her....3 weeks later we had a baby boy!!!!

Today I was at a seminar about animals in captivity and improving their enrichment activities.... A zoo in Washington was having an issue with their penguins. The penguins had stopped swimming and they were developing bumble foot from spending too much time on the ice... So the Behavior Analyst...

I am about to make a post about this....but yes I found out today that there is one animal it is good for...penguins!!!! A zoo in Washington uses them for their penguins to have a good enrichment activity....they fill the balls with fish and then put the lid on and put the balls in the...

I would be interested in how the set up is...I am not so sure that is the right environment for a chinchilla if it is set up that many people can handle several animals and then handle the chinchilla without washing their hands...it would also depend on the temperment of the animal I had a...

I have a good friend that owns a chinchilla....She is allergic to either the dust or the chinchilla. When she dust him she wears a mask and a long sleeve t-shirt...when she holds him she uses a towel as a barrier....and she washes her hands as soon as she handles him....if she does not do this...

Turns out he is not one of her chins....I asked when I got there....he was purchased from a pet store in Daytona...
