So my chins have seemed healthy until recently,one of them started to act weird.she puts her nose in the corners and lays where a wall meets a floor.i figured she was hot so i got her chin-chiller out,she didnt touch it.she has just been acting weird lately.is this normal?
 
Is she eating, pooping, urinating and drinking properly? If nothing has changed except this new behaviour, she probably just found her comfortable spot and is lazing there. I bought my chin a cooling plate as well but she didn't like it at all. I guess it's just a chin-by-chin basis whether or not they want to use the cooling plate.
 
I have one that only acts that way when she is getting within a few weeks of having a litter. The rest of the time she always sleeps in or on her house. Also have another who just seems to prefer to sleep that way all the time. They are odd little critters, but that's why we love them so much.
 
That's the only change in her behavior. And her drinking and pooping, and urinating hasn't changed. She also can't be having a litter be a useful she hasn't been around a male for almost a year.
