Cinder and Me
~Scuba Chick~
It has been sooooo long since I've had a baby chin, so I've forgotten some info over the past decade+.
What age do breeders typically wean babies and allow them to go home with their new pet-parents?
I have a 3' wide, 4' tall, 2.5' deep cage with wooden ledges and shelves that we built and a Chin Spin. I seem to remember that babies shouldn't be allowed to go into a cage that is too tall since they are still learning to leap and be accurate/careful. Is this true? Should I block her off to the lower half of the cage? For how long?
When can I introduce the Chin Spin? And I'm assuming a 1" x 4" opening on the cage walls are too big for a baby, right? I'll need to baby proof the cage with....what? I read about fabric mesh for baby proofing a cage, but is this the typical - is there anything else that is better?
Treats: Can I give her/him plain cheerios, rose hips, chew sticks, hay cubes right off the bat or do I need to let her/him mature a little? This isn't my first rodeo, so I know obviously no raisins, fruits, veggies, etc. :thumbsup:
Thanks to anyone who answers my questions.
