I have someone who is from the UK and looking to buy some apple wood. I have no idea about UK supplies so I figured someone here could have a better idea for her. :]

I would personally love to own a young kit so I can watch it grow, but getting them older is definitely better. I got my first at around 6 months, and the second was almost a year old. My first is skittish and only accepts scratches, while the other one is so friendly I can move him any way...

I always order 5lbs of 2nd cut timothy hay :D I have been wanting to try their orchard grass but I'm not sure if my guys would go for it or not. XD

I buy mine from Small Pet Select... My babies love it more than anything. :]

If I understand correctly... You can feed loose hay or hay cubes. Either one gets the job done, so I wouldn't worry or restrict pellets. By restricting pellets, you're giving him less to wear his teeth down with. You can also try making a fleece haybag to hang the hay if you think that would...

Did the vet do x-rays? It's possible to just have spurs and not malo/RE. Are you hand feeding him? You need to get him some Critical Care, Lifeline, etc... You can even grind up his pellets and use those. What treats are you giving him? He may not need to be put to sleep. You need to start...

Some chins are just more vocal than others. Both of mine only bark and kack if I disturb them. The barking is rare, usually when they have a nightmare or something frightens them awake. One of them likes to randomly squeal, but otherwise they're pretty silent.

No, they cannot be in temperatures that warm. 75 and higher can kill a chin. I would just get the AC and put it in... I already have mine in.

All cages need to be modified. You can get a FN or CN and replace the plastic pans with metal pans from Bass Equipment. http://bassequipment.com/Cage+Pans/Ferret+Nation+Pans/default.aspx Martins cages are all metal, but you'd probably want to remove the levels and replace with wood since the...

If there is something for him to chew that could impact him, the cage isn't chew proof. You need to replace any plastic with wood/metal or cover it in fleece. Punishment doesn't work well with chins.. It's best to eliminate the problem at it's source.

Chinchillas should not have fruits or veggies. Dried fruit is alright as a very occasional treat(and even then, some won't feed them because they're too high in sugar). You need a high quality pellet, such as the following... Oxbow, Manna Pro Pro/Sho(rabbit food but safe for chins), Mazuri, and...

Chins tend to use them as a potty if left in all the time. They also bathe too often, which will dry out their skin. Dry skin can lead to infections. So obviously you can't have them rolling in dirty dust or cracking skin open.

So I decided to go ahead and order a set... If I don't like them I can always see if someone here would want them. Does anyone have photos of how they set their cages up with the pans?

I order mine from AZchins. Not sure if that is helpful or not. :]

Thanks :] I guess if I don't like them, I can always try to sell them on here. That way I'm not losing out on so much money. XD

I already use fleece, I just don't want to trash the old liners if I do get the bass pans The way my cages are, I have to wheel them around to get the pans out and it's annoying... since I use the pillowcase style liners, I have no way around taking them out. That's another reason why I want...

Alright... So I've been trying to decide whether to get bass pans. Currently I have two Critter Nations. Both chins are litter trained, though one tends to pee in other places as well. The only think stopping me from buying them is the fact that I won't be able to keep the fleece down without...

Thanks for the response. :] Oh I already know all of that, I was only speaking about the specific patterns that mosaics end up having. XD For example... If one chin has a spot on their face, is there a higher chance for their babies to have the same or is it random?

First, sorry for all the dumb questions. I know the basics of mutations but these questions came up in conversation and I just wanted to clarify. Mosaic patterns are not hereditary right? I always thought that they were completely random. If you're after a heavily marked mosaic, is it just...

Are you giving her hay? As Dawn said... I wouldn't worry if her poop seems normal. :]
