I took my chins for a vet check up and the vet said that my boy's upper incisors is not occluding properly with the lower incisors. It's still nothing to really worry about, but they want to see him in 3 months just to make sure it's not progressing. Of course, my mind jumped straight to Malo...

Vet confirmed: he's neutered! No babies from Pika. :thumbsup:

Wow, I guess I lucked out. My chins never pee on their food bowl, and hardly ever climb into it so there's rarely any poo. The bowl is kinda tall, and I put it right by their "Chin Chiller", so they like to sit in the cool granite, lay their little front paws on the bowl and just dip their...

I've read that it's possible to train chins to pee in one place in their cage. Do you guys have any tips/tricks on this? What do you use as the "litter box"? I just changed to fleece for bedding (they seem to love it! Just check the picture below, I've never seen Pikachu sleeping like that)...

@greychins -that's the coolest playpen EVER! You just gave me some really great ideas to accessorize my playpen :) One question, though, how do you keep them from just jumping over? I can see my girl jumping over that without much problem, specially with the shelves.

I recently purchased a playpen for my chins. It's about the same as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zebra-Pet-Dog-Cat-Tent-Puppy-Playpen-Exercise-Pen-L-/250571027183?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a573272ef So far, my chins love it. I just have to throw in some chews and things for them to...

O.K., thanks! I'm planning on taking them to the vet on Monday, just to make sure they're all fine. I will ask the vet to confirm it there.

Hi, So before I got my chins, the rescue center I got it from said the male had been neutered even before they were introduced. I was just wondering if there is any way to confirm this? I'm taking them to the vet for a general check up next week, to make sure everything is well and to get...

Thanks everybody! I'll definitely put more food in, then :) I'd rather have them have extra instead of less than.

The ramps are covered with fleece already. First thing I did, even before I got my chins.

Hi! Welcome! :) I'm also pretty new on all of this, but I'd like to help, if I can. I have a Critter Nation, very similar to the FN you're talking about. In my case, I wasn't sure if I should take the ramps out or not, so I added shelves at different levels, but left the ramp there. It turned...

Ahhh! I'm so glad I came to this post and read it. I was a bit worried when my chin sneezed a few times the other day, thinking it may have a cold. That was right after I gave him a whole rosehip as treat (both of my chins go crazy for rosehips). I rotate treats, in oder to keep it interesting...

I read that 2 tablespoons of feed per chin was the standard, so that's what I had been going with. I don't really measure it anymore, since I figured out that it's about the entire bottom of their food bowl covered up. However, I've check their bowl before I leave in the mornings and several...

These playpens are a GREAT idea!! It solves all my problems with playtime! I think I'm gonna buy one right away. Hopefully, my chins will like the idea as much as I do!

Hi everybody, So I've had my chins for almost a week now. From the very first day I noticed that they were extremely friendly chins. They quickly let me pet them and scratch their necks, and seemed very curious of me. However, I was very worried about their exercise. I got them a pretty large...

Ah, I just noticed I posted this in the wrong subforums...what a way to start! If there are any admins around please move this. And to all the rest, thanks a lot, I'll definitely get to reading!

Hi everyone! I adopted a pair of chins just under a week ago. I'm really trying my best to have the best environment possible for them, so I'd love to take advice from more experienced chin owners :)
