I know it sounds stupid, but Flo n Eddies cages are next to each other and they seem to be climbing walls at night . What r signs that they r way (excuse me) horny ? Eddie is ripping up paper on very bottom of cage as well ... HELLPP !!!

Yes chins can mate through cages. Just keep the cages a few inches apart.

I agree with Cathy.

Asking when a chin is horny is like asking a teenage boy the same question... Animals, including humans are naturally wired to mate, especially males.

I have a sweet girl here who was born of a mating in through a run! So I know for a fact it's possible. I'd actually really like to see exactly how that would work, I mean does she stick her butt up there or what?!?!

The first time you see a male "cleaning himself" you'll know how far to keep the cages apart! Don't be shocked, as it's natural!
Another reason for NOT having wire ramps!

Very carefully. . .

I don't see what a male cleaning himself has to do with wire ramps at all... they don't run around with their penis flopping out... if that was a problem every person who uses runs ( they have wire bottoms) and every rancher that uses wire bottom cages would have males with broken penises...

LOL - I'm sorry, I just about peed myself laughing. Very true though.

Riven, I actually saw one doing exactly that! He was in a foursome situation, and thankfully I'd covered all my ramps with 1/4 x 1/4 screen! And he was in a "mood" - going after all of them!
Put him in another cage for a couple hours, so he'd "cool off", and noone would get hurt!
