Also, based on your post it seems like maybe the kit does not have its eyes open - is this the case? If so, you need to gently open them. There are threads on here relating to that topic and others can hopefully speak from experience

Stanley!!!!

Eating/drinking/pooping is a prime question and if any of those are off I would be rushing to a chin-experienced vet asap. Also: pasta is not a chin safe treat. Dried rosehips, a pinch of old-fashioned plain oats, maybe a little wee shredded wheat square or plain cheerio every now and again...

I had all four of mine removed two years ago and it took almost two months for things to be healed up and no longer in pain. I still have a 'dead zone' on my face - an area with no feeling, only pins and needles - which apparently resulted from nerve damage done while they were getting the teeth...

This chin needs to go a vet ASAP! There could be any number of complications resulting from this incident (bone breaks, intestinal problems, etc.) that could be life-threatening

I have also have very positive experiences with a molar-less chin who had had root extension malo :) In the end he died of a stroke, but he lived without his molars very successfully and hoppily. The molars needed to be removed in stages as my vet said otherwise it is too much for a chin to...

I feed alderpark, a pellet milled on Vancouver Island.

Chinchic sells a 'danish donut' and other chin-cuddleables that would do the trick http://chinchic.bigcartel.com/products

You can use fleece bags or terracotta flower pots as alternative hay holders. I have some larger coop bowls that I use paired with flower pots...not that this prevents them from dragging their hay all around the cage anyways lol

I feed Alderpark pellets, from Vancouver Island - my chins prefer it to oxbow or mazuri

This is my favourite piece of news that I've read all day!

Adorableness :)

I would not risk it. Chins that have started to fight are very likely to fight again. A ferret nation is ideal because you can separate them and they will both have lots of space :) One risk of having more than one chin is that they might turn on each other and it's important to do what is right...

I think it looks fine, but keep in mind that you would need to take out those ramps asap and install a lot of your own ledges to make the space more dynamic. Personally, for the price I would just get a double FN on sale since they have a long, solid reputation and I know the bars are strong...

Love the updates!

It takes time for chins to settle in to a new habitat with new humans. Just go at her pace, nice and slow, and eventually she'll stop thinking that you intend to eat her :) Likely she is not chomping you because she doesn't like you but because she is trying to figure out what you are all about...

Mine are around 65-68 year round.

Beautiful :) Congratulations on your new fur-baby!

Aww! Major cuteness :) Looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing tales of his adventures
