71-73 in the summer at the warmest. Everyone seems pretty comfortable in that range.

I use old tissue boxes. I just pull all the plastic out from around the opening and pack it with hay. By the time theyve destroyed it, my runny nose has usually emptied another box just in time to swap it out.

Havent been on here in what seems like forever. We've had some ups and downs with our chins. We adopted an awesome standard male from an elderly man that could no longer care for him, and he's fit in well with our others. However we lost 2 :( We had one that just up and stopped eating and...

One of the cages I built is 5' tall x 2.5' x 2.5'. The top section is about a foot tall with theirhouses in it, and the rest of the cage consists of wooden shelves and ledges. The frame of mine is done with 1/2 in ply wood, which you don't want to use anywhere they can put there teeth on...

One of my boys, dog, hanging wth my daughter

We actually bought a few books before we got our chins and still Made plenty of mistakes. By no means am I perfect yet but have definitely worked out a lot of the bugs and bad habits. There's a lot of misinformation and things they don't tell you even in the books. It wasn't until 8 months in...

Here's what I use in one of the cages I built

That last ones toooo funny lol

My buddy constantly ask if he can put one on a skewer and cook it.... but They're growing on him the more I take them out and let him hold them. My folks think I'm nuts for having boutique rats, but they don't give me to much grief. I more so than anything else just get laughed at for the...

Awesome cages

Sometimes I think it would be easier if the kids were in cages and the animals were free to roam the house lol Yeah, def going to get something that'll keep her from opening it

Well just for a quick update, she's out bouncing around the cage at the moment doing her crazy ninja stunts up the cage door and chasing her mate Porter around everywhere. The only reason I think she's ok is because my dog is very gentle when it comes to his mouth. He scoops everything and...

Guess I should have specified so not to sound insensitive. I meant my sons reaction Was funny. The way he said it and hearing a 4 yr old scold the dog lightened the moment a little. She doesn't appear to be in any pain when we pick her up, that was my initial though Was potential damage to...

So, apperently my 2 year old unlocked the chin cage yesterday. Bouncing off the cage door they kicked it open and had free Rome of the house. Wed see my dog walking around with one of his stuffed animals around in his mouth... which after hearing my 4yr old son say " put her down," it wasn't a...

Here's me and rogue hanging on the couch

Some cute chins

Ah, good link thanks. So the ones most of us have are the lanigeras then? I guess I just have one that had big kid jeans over the others lol

I'm assuming that the more common chins are the costinas? What's the size difference between the costinas and lanigeras? The reason I ask is because one of my chins is substantially larger than the others. Thanks Darren
