Hi,
I got my chins yesterday. They are 3 months old. They took the move pretty badly, and seems to be scared and very wary of me -which is fully understandable.
And I am quite happy to give them their time to get used to the new surroundings. I don't mind if it takes some weeks or longer. But I will have to get my hand in there in a few days to clean up a bit. They are not going to like it, and I don't want to scare them off any more than what they already are.

Your suggestions and help would really be appreciated.

You can put them in their carrier during cleaning. Often I will use the dust bath for moving chins around. They hop in and dust, I quickly cover the exit and transfer them. Same for when your babies are a lot older and go out for playtime-I tap the dust bath in the play yard-they hop in and I lift them back to cage. Congrats on the babies!
