I don't know as much as all of the breeders on here but at least imo adults are better for a pet. I've been volunteering at an animal shelter for 5 years and kits are easier to place (babies are often easier to place in every pet species). Adults have harder times finding a home. As said they...

Maybe they were joking...at least I hope so

I think one of the problems is that (at least the ones I've seen in pet stores) say 'safe for rats, chinchillas and other large rodents'. Some even have a picture of a chin in it. The company obviously doesn't know (or refuses to admit) that they are dangerous for chins.

What you can do is have a controlled playtime. I use a critter playpen with wire bars. They have a good amount of space to run but they can't get out of it so its easy to put them back. It hooks up to the cage so they can go out. To convince them to go back in I put a treat in the cage to lure...

:rofl::rofl: Okay that one had me laughing out loud

Thats seriously pretty cool! Side note- haha kinda funny we're talking about cow digestion on a chin forum.

They're beautiful!! You and Lilah should be so proud!!

You seriously did a home amputation?! No offense, but I think it was pure luck that chin survived and didn't get an infection!

I have 2 dogs and three cats so my chinnies have their own room, behind a locked door. Howl has his own three story cage and the girls also have a 3 story with a wheel. The room is chin proof and has a space heater and air conditioner to regulate temperature. It has a wooden floor so its easy to...

Oh my god...just found a chin that comes with her 'cage'. A 55 gallon fish tank, lid included. Comes with a wheel too, how do you set up a water bottle in a fish tank? How the heck do you even keep a chin from over heating?!

One of the local BYB is trying to sell a violet female for $200 on craiglist. She says she got a trio and only need one female, the violet has beige babies too. She claims that she only wants to 'share the wealth'. She always has babies on CL, it bugs the heck out of me! She was even selling...

nice, lol. Chins can do damage if they feel like it! On another note a girl in my school decided to breed chins. I asked her what the bar size is. Its 1x1 inch. I said the babies would get out, she said not to worry. That chins are born deaf and blind like all rodent babies. It will be a month...

Oh my! Poor girl!! Thank goodness the kit came out without complications and that you got her, no more breed backs for her!

I didn't mean money wise. I meant heart break such as losing a favorite chin, to birthing complications or having one get hurt from a cage mate. Finding a cannibalized kit that was stillborn. Things like that, I understand that money is not the reason that REPUTABLE breeders do what they do...

I'm premed. I want to major in evolutionary biology and genetics.

Okay thanks! That answers my questions. I just find breeding really interesting. aznmexaggie- I agree though, we need people who breed for quality. It would be horrible if only people bred for profit not caring about what happened to their offspring, with malo and genetic issues -shutters-...
