    New Chin Question

    Ok, that's what I'll do. I think he and I may have suffered a minor or possibly major setback, because earlier this evening when I was trying to clean his cage he made a bigger jump than I thought he could and got out. As he was running and jumping around outside, he tried to get up on the...
