Hi all I currently have 3 chins who live happily in one cage.

I was considering getting some more chins. Right now they are prettu low maintenance but has anyone hit a poiny where it has become high maintenance with too many chins and if so how many.
 
It really depends on YOU. What kind of life do you want to offer them, and then how many can you realistically offer that lifestyle to?

This is not a decision anyone can make for you, it's a decision you have to make for yourself and your pets :)
 
I agree with the above. It depends on YOU.

I had 9, but I've lost 2 in the last 2 years. I, personally, didn't really notice any drastic change in caring for 9 compared to 7. (Hopefully that makes sense).

I do think that if you are thinking of add more, then do so slow. Add a single or bonded pair at a time type of thing. Adding slowing and getting into that routine will be much easier then adding 4 or more, at one time.
