Ugh, yeah. Vincenza is like that. She hates being handled and will let you know but from all the advice I got here, it's important to keep it up. She went through a deliberate biting phase and now she's spraying. Cinnamon started biting but we think that's because she's trying to groom...

It took 6 months for our little madam to come around fully. And even then she still sprays when she's upset. From what I've read, some chins have an attitude and some don't. Our new one is pretty skittish, we've had her for almost two months and she doesn't like to be scritched. One thing I...

Take her to the vet! We learned the hard way that chins tend to play very hard if they can and can overheat even in 65 degrees. Our little Vincenza will go until she's boiling. We only give her 15 minute play times now. It's up to a bit of argument but when we got both of our chins we got them...

Oh gosh, I don't know. Haven't seen them here before! We feed Oxbow/Timothy which seems to be the standard. I think you can get it on Amazon in the UK?

OMG. I crashed out on the couch last night, it's a good thing I did too. This really weird sound woke me up. I looked over at Vincenza's cage and could just make out a little white blob and a brown-ish gray blob. I thought something like a rat had got into her cage and it gave me a heart...

Vincenza ends up as Madam since she's such a little princess. Cinnamon is Cinnabon and the Spice Navigator from Dune :3

It might be useful to have not healthy poop too?

Awww! Congrats :)

Awww, I'm so happy Bubbles is ok :)

We usually manage to keep them away from the walls but I have a leather belt that has a massive chunk out of it. Vincenza was so proud. :P

My little one does this. There will be no scritches while she surveys her kingdom from the top ledge. If she wants to be social she'll run down to me after giving me a nip.

Take her in to the vet! If you don't already have one, there's a good section of the forums here: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=104 Check her ears for any potential signs of overheating too. If they look pink, cool her down and get her to a cold place...

More pictures of poop!

Cinnamon's were smaller when she was on different food. I think it was Purina? They grew when we switched her to Oxbow!

I buy most of my stuff from here :)

That is such a lovely shot!

Aww! I love the one on the left. GIVE ME COOKIE.

That makes a lot of sense! Vincenza loves her hay. She wasn't on it when we got her, the minute we put it in she went nuts. Cinnamon is starting to eat more of it so her poop is gradually getting longer from what you're saying! :)

lol I know! I'm obsessed with poop since I got the chins. Poop means healthy!

Let me see your pictures of poop! I'm not so much concerned as kind of fascinated by it. Two chinchillas, identical diets (down to sticks, water and treat nights) and this is what happens. On the left, dainty poop by Cinnamon. On the right MASSIVE poop by Vincenza. Seriously huge. And normal...
