Are most people able to transport the cage without completely...

    Show me your chin's cage!

    OllieBear's Pad! Its a constant work in progress but the cage is a feisty ferret. The shelving I did myself (his previous owner had it full of plastic) I appreciate constructive criticism.

    Humans are my jungle gym :)

    Just some funny pictures of Oliver being a goof (and using my boyfriend as his jungle gym). Post pics of your babies being silly! :neener:

    missing toe :(

    So today I noticed that my boy Oliver is missing the tip of his middle toe. I feel so stupid for not having noticed it before since I've had him for about a month. Also, quite angry that the lady I bought him from failed to mention it to me. Obviously it doesn't make me love him any less but I...

    Happy Squeaking?

    I was wondering if anyone else's chins make a soft repetitive squeak during playtime. Its the only time he does it. I've never heard him make any other sound other than his protest to being picked up (harsher bark/squeak). I assume its because he's happy because he's running around and using me...

    crusted fleece? urine? semen?

    So whilst changing Ollie's fleece liner I noticed that there were two or so crusty spots, as in the fabric didn't bend as easily. I probably have my head in the gutter but my first thought was ejaculate (like humans). but is it pee? I can't imagine pee becoming dry and tough. Should I be...

    Potty trained?

    I've only had my boy Oliver for about a month now, so I'm still picking up on his quirks. But I've consistently noticed that he only pees in the same spot, a spot that progressively gets more noticeable before I change is pine shavings. Its really no big deal to me, I'm glad he's peeing, but I...

    Leaving chin home alone

    Before anyone gets upset with me, I just wanted to state that I DO NOT want to have to leave Oliver home alone but I may have to. So please withhold the criticism, I feel badly enough. Anyway, in your experience, what is the longest amount of time you've left your chin home alone unattended? My...

    Chinnie wheels - Which to choose?

    The wheel that Oliver came with was a trash, plastic comfort wheel from a pet store, so I took it out of his cage and haven't used it since. Will all chins use a wheel? I've been looking into buying him one of the various nicely built custom ones online, I just hope he'd actually use it. Any...

    Outraged!!!

    **Update** Okay so as of today this little girl is safe and home with me! I think that after I spoke to the previous owner and our mutual friend spoke to him to, he finally came to his senses and realized that he wasn't in the best position to continuing caring for her and said I seemed "much...

    Outraged!!!

    **Update** I decided to just "man up" and talk to the guy who has her. I tried to be as civil and nice as possible but this guy is totally ignorant. I asked him if he knew how improperly she was being cared for and he didn't want to hear it. I kept trying to reason with him and offered to help...

    Outraged!!!

    Backstory: I live in a small college town and I am a student at the university here and have been for three years. I got my baby Oliver off of craigslist a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did because even though the lady who sold him to me claimed to be a breeder, I don't think she was very...

    Does Oliver really look like a standard to you?

    yeah that picture was from the first day or so that I had him. I've learned lots since then though haha! no seed sticks or care fresh bedding anymore, among the multitude of upgrades I've done to his cage. Thanks anyway! :heart3:

    Does Oliver really look like a standard to you?

    It may be my untrained eye (Ollie is my first fur baby), but he seems to be a bit dark to be a standard, which is what I was told he was. Not that it matters whatsoever, I'm certainly no breeder. Just curious! <3

    Pro-C supplements?

    I've read somewhere that chins need sufficient amounts of calcium and vitamin C in order to be healthy. Calcium usually being provided by proper diet, but Vitamin C? I was on the flying saucer wheels website and noticed that they offered a Pro-C supplement. Any word on these? Worth it...

    progress?

    Okay so I tried play time again with Oliver today since it had been a week since I've gotten him. He jumps and squeaks when I go to pick him up and squirms when I have him in my arms, but will usually relax after a few seconds. We got to the bathroom and he did his usual chinchilla exploring and...

    How long did it take for your chin to warm up to you?

    Just curious to see how long it took your fur baby(s) to become comfortable with you as I am a first time chin mom to a 2.5 year old male, Oliver!

    fur slip!

    I am so worried. I made a first attempt at play time today and t wasn't a complete disaster, but as my title implies, we had a fur slip. I was able to coax him onto his carrier a few times but he would quickly pop out, the last time he tried I had grabbed him from underneath and slipped him back...
