    How long without spraying before wood can be used?

    My friend has an apple tree that hasn't been sprayed in 3 years. Is it safe to use the wood for chin treats? If not, how long would I need to wait. Thanks

    Jasper ate a cucumber

    Jasper just stole a cucumber from my salad, she got a few nibbles before I wrangled it away from her. She seems to be ok, just pouty because I took her "treat"... Does anyone know if it's ok for a chin to have cucumbers? I've never given them fresh veggies and I don't recall if it's because they...

    Okay, she's a weirdo

    I'm convinced that my chinny Ruby is just crazy. She will roll around on the floor of the cage, do these sort of half flips and hops. Then one of hops turns into a jump and she starts running up and down the levels of the cage until she's exhausted and just sort of falls out. She doesn't appear...

    Nightmares

    My chin likes to sleep on my arm while I read. She's been doing it for years without incident. However, a few nights ago and again tonight she started doing the barking/warning call. Nothing in the environment has changed and I could discern any unusual noise when it started. Is it possible...

    Rose Hips & itching

    Hi, I've been giving my chins full rose hips and noticed that they scratch their noses while & after eating them. I looked up rose hips and learned what I'm sure most people on here already know, about the itchy insides. I've since started cracking them and just giving my chins the shell (now...

    Flying Saucer wheel noise

    My Flying Saucer wheel is about 7 years old and has started to squeak. I want to oil it, but I'm worried this would be dangerous for the chins. Has anyone else run into this, if so, what did you do? (Besides get a new wheel) Thanks

    The head bob... is it normal?

    I just got a new little girl a few weeks ago and noticed this odd head bob that she does while I'm holding her. It reminds me of how meerkats behave when they attack a snake. Do you know if this is just normal baby chin behavior (it's been years since I've had a young chin and my older girls...

The problem is that now the fur around her mouth is sticky from the syringe tip slipping out when it's being administered. I've never tried cleaning my...
