Hereditary or Environmental...is there a way to tell the difference? Signs? Symptoms? Age? Difference in treatment?

On December 11th, after 5 long weeks of treatment for a URI, fluid on her lungs, numerous tests and 5 different vets, I found out that my beautiful Gadget had root elongation. What started out as a barely noticeable, early caught URI, progressed very quickly to her gasping to breathe because...

I have a chin (2 1/2 years old) that was diagnosed with a URI 9 days ago. Symptoms were loss of weight (from 830g to 698g), a snort like sound when she breathes (only sometimes), nose swipes (more than the usual amount), and harder inhales (like she has a stuffy nose). Xrays showed lungs were...

Anyone sell both blue cloud and sparkle dust? Also interested in nice sized applewood hanging toys.

Are there any tell tale signs of pain? Chins hide their illnesses and sometimes discomfort so well, I am just wondering if there are any behaviors, noises, expressions that are signs of pain.:hmm:

Ember and sable

Ember, Gadget and Tinker say hi!

I think Gadget and Micah approve of their new hay spot! Yay!

Ok veteran breeders...Ember and Sable are the youngest and smallest babies I have ever had. What is a reasonable weight gain per week or is ANY gain good? They are awesome eaters, both hay and pellets. I do weight checks on all the girls every couple weeks but just want some guidelines since...

Sterling and Micah turn 2!:dance3:

Please welcome Gadget and Tinker to our family. They are 15 week old sisters. Gadget is a gorgeous s/c standard and Tinker is my precious little sapphire. We are so happy to have them. They have the same daddy as Sterling and Micah and are cagemates for Gizmo. I love my girls! Gadget...

Where do I get blue kote or gentian violet? Sorry for the spelling and thanks for your help!

I am just wondering where you guys put sticks, hay, hay cubes, rose hips, pumice, toss toys, etc in your cages? Obviously, pellets and if you feed supplement, it would go in a bowl but what about the other stuff? Do you just throw it in? Do you have bowls, bins or holders of some kind?:thinking2:

My mom is feeding my chin addiction! She had these made to (sort of) look like my girls. Just had to share the cuteness!

Sterling, Micah and Gizmo playing in their new playground! Fun for all!

Wondering if crumbs in pellet bowl is an automatic sign of impending teeth problems? No other signs what so ever. They eat over their bowls and do not use their hands. There are some half pellets and some crumbs in the bottom. Thoughts...:hmm:

My girls seem to be bored with playtime to the point where they don't seem to want to come out of their cages.:impatient:When they do play, it's not long before they are wanting to go back home. They have so much to do in their cages that I really don't blame them, but I want to play with them...

Is there a benefit to feeding a Timmy pellet? I noticed, while cruising the vendor section:thumbsup:, that Susan sells a Timmy pellet. I have 2 of my girls that are not big hay eaters. I have tried many types/brands of hay to try and get them to eat more. Nope! Should I try the Timmy...

Silly question...do some mutations shed more than others? My mosaics seem to shed more than my standard or maybe I just notice it more because they are white! What is the difference between shedding and priming?:hmm:
