I think Maci is attempting to make me crazy. For a while she was peeing in her food dish. After moving the location that has stopped. She is/was litter trained. Her cage is Fleece liners with a pyrex litter pan with Aspen shavings. That is how her set up has been since I got her in May. A...

Not sure where to put this topic, but if it needs to be moved thats ok. I have had Maci since the end of May. She is almost 8 1/2 months old. She is in a FN142 and has a flying saucer wheel. I don't think she has ever run on her wheel...or even touched it at all. She does like to go UNDER...

Maci has a litter box in her cage with shavings that she uses religiously. She has never peed on her liner, shelves, etc. Recently I have been taking her out of the cage for playtime (finally) She likes to go under her cage and pee :( I tried putting her litter pan under the cage, yet she...

I use timothy hay and orchard grass. I bought big bags right before I got Maci in at the end of May. It is starting to get low and I will probably have to get it local again, I get almost all my pets supplies, toys and even my cats food online and have it delivered. The prices are always...

Since I am at work and bored out of my mind I thought I would introduce Maci's siblings, I have 4 cats a dog and a turtle as well as Maci my chin. Starting oldest to youngest.... Morgan (captain Morgan) a Red eared Slider 16 years old and Maci's roommate Outside for some egg laying time

After restocking my vet wrap (for my dog/cats) after my dog cracked a dew claw I got to thinking about what would be good to have on hand for Maci. I have a vet that is experienced with exotics and they have awesome hours 8am-10pm and night/weekend after hours emergency hours. So looking for...

Maci sleeping the other day

Not sure if this should go here or in behavior. Maci has been peeing in her food dish. Today is like the 4th time I have found her food soaked. I'm assuming it is pee as her food container is at the top of the cage and her water bottle is at the bottom. She poops in it too, but I am less...

I've had Maci for a little under a month. I picked her up May 20th. I have been doing my best to take things slow so I don't scare her, etc. But I also want to make sure I don't screw things up and set her up so she can't/won't be handled. I have been sitting outside her cage and talking...

As some of you know I have spent quite a while researching and preparing for a Chin. I met Becky on her way to the Ohio show on Friday and picked up my little girl. I named her Maci. She is settling in and loving her ferret nation. I snapped a couple pics today, but didn't want to bombard...

I picked up my Chin last evening. She pooped in the carrier (obviously) and in her cage. I noticed that her poop is smaller than it was last night. I'm not sure if she ate or drank overnight. I marked the water bottle today so I will be able to see if she drank anything. I saw her at her...

I picked my little girl up last night :dance2: I'm realizing now maybe I should have set up the AC unit in that room before yesterday so I could mess around with the settings. I bought it last summer from craiglsist and the girl said she used it for less than a month. It looks new. My chins...

I am so excited that I will finally be bringing my first Chin home on Friday :bliss::bliss::bliss: As some of you know I have been researching and preparing for nearly a year. I have her cage all set up and ready to go (minus food, water and hay...which I will do on Friday) I have pretty much...

I made some adjustments after my previous thread. 17 days til my Chin comes home :bliss: Let me know what you think.

I have seen mention about humidity here, but no one seems to mention what humidity level is ok. I don't have my Chin yet, but I did put batteries in the thermometer today, just to get a gauge of the room temp and humidity. I have a window AC unit for the room, so temp won't be an issue when it...

I will finally be getting my Chin next month after nearly a year of researching, planning and preparing! I have now been going back and re-familiarizing myself with all the basics. I swear I read this answer somewhere, but now I can't find it. How much dust should go in the dust house for baths?

In preparation for my chin I have made a bunch of fleece items and purchased numerous supplies (toys, wood, etc.) I am a little bit of a neat freak in that I like things to be neatly organized and easy to get to. I'm wondering how/where everyone stores their extra supplies. I am thinking of...

Some of you may have seen my recent post in general that after months of preparing I am almost ready to get a Chin. I recieved the new hidey house on a ledge from Christine and some extras. I know my PVC tubes need covers(having issues with my sewing machine), but how does everything else...

Not sure if this post belongs here and well really some may think it is pointless, nut here I go... I started researching chins over the summer and decided that I wanted to be owned by one. I was directed here by a friend on a pit bull forum(thanks Megan) and have continued to research. I...

I am FINALLY getting close to having everything done so I can get a chin. I have a FN142...I added all the shelves I made last week and the tubes. Flying saucer is in, etc. I decided I don't really care for the hidey house I got and I think it takes up floor space. I know someone sells...
