Hello!
I am a new chinparent (for about 2 months now) and my chin is about 5 months old.
I think that we got close really quickly, and as I play with him 2 to 3 times per day, he popcorns and wall-surfs all the time. :thumbsup:
I also keep the AC running at temperature 72 and depending on how pink my chin's ears get, I turn it down to 70 or 68 occasionally.
Also, I made him a 4 story-tall cage and added a hammock, bed, wheel, slides, etc. while making sure that he doesn't trip over any of them (removing anything that seemed dangerous).
So... I've been paying a lot of attention to what my chin needs and likes.
And I have noticed something strange...
Two to three times per week, I work at my desk at home for about 6 to 8 hours per sitting and my desk is about 10 feet away from my chin's cage.
As I work, I check on him pretty frequently, and most of the times, he is sitting still on one of the wooden cages, staring at me with his peripheral vision.
Many times he does this, his eyes are half way open and he's dozing off.
Some other times, he is sitting like a penguin at a dark corner and sleeping, his ears are a little pinker than usual, and he is breathing a bit rapidly.
Is anyone else's chins acting like this?
Also, are these behaviors signs of discomfort?
