Can't we all just get along?

[Chinchilling]

Hi there, I'm new to your community. I am the happy owner of two adorable white mosaic chins that I purchased about 5 months ago. Mr Toby is very fat and calm for a chin, though he seems happy and engages in all the usual gnawing and wall jumping that is to be expected. Soft Squirrel is quite the opposite, lean, endlessly energetic, and particularly good at reaching places one would think inacesaable (just last week I came home and found him looking quite out of place at the top of the stairs, he had vaulted over a 5 foot wall and escaped his otherwise chin-proof room). When I purchased them, they were both under a year of age, I suspect Mr Toby is slightly older, as he came large and never really grew much. S

Love the names! I think it was to Lilly's benefit that i adopted her at age 4 yrs when she already knew her name. I would have named her something very strange I'm sure. Soft Squirrel is brilliant. Love it!! <3

such cute names!

you mentioned you came home and found Soft Squirrel out of his room. chins should be secured in their cages when you are not there to supervise. even the most chin proofed room can be trouble waiting to happen with a chin on the loose with no supervision.
