I LOVE all the pictures! They're just wonderful. Chubby little buhbuhs. I need to take some pictures of a few of them here. Melon, Fed, Buju and a few of the other chins that are larger need to be seen by the world. Melon especially, he's just a huge chin despite really getting around.... I'm not sure if it's genetic or what with some of these guys.
But, when thinking of the fatties, please send good thoughts to the little skinny rescue dudes. A couple that I brought home yesterday are much too thin, it's scary to think that chins can have THAT little muscle and fat on them. I can feel all the vertebrae individually up and down their tails, it makes me cry when I hold a chin like that and think that it just never had to happen - the chins aren't sick and they don't have tooth problems. (Sorry...I'm exhausted today and therefore overly sensitive to what's happening with the chinnerkins!)

Stackie, what do you really feed them, lol?? I need to maybe switch my guys!!

Oxbow pellets, American Pet Diner hay, and fresh water. Only treats they get are a pinch of oats and rose hips once a week.

It's the pellets. My boy eats oxbow also and since I've switched him over from Mazuri he's blown up like a balloon. I also get him the botanical blend of oxbow hay he loves that stuff.

Keep those pics coming guys! This thread is great. It'd be interesting to know what everyone with their "fatties" feeds!

Several months back I switched from Mazuri to AlderPark pellets. The pellets are milled here on Vancouver Island, are very fresh and my boys really seem to devour them.
My new boy Carlos came to me with Kaytee Fortified food and I mixed some of his pellets in with the AlderPark ones for two nights and both nights he picked out the AlderPark ones so on the third night I ditched the Kaytee altogether.
I also give my boys a pinch of Serena's (lilchinchilla) supplement every night when they're good boys and go back into their houses for the night. That and timmy hay and orchard grass and filtered water. That's it.

Lots of happy thoughts and good love to the new rescues, Susan. I know you're worried. It sounds like its a miracle they are still here. I know if anyone can give them the love and care they need to live a long happy life, it would be you! :hug2:I LOVE all the pictures! They're just wonderful. Chubby little buhbuhs.

I was just looking through my pics and found this big fat chin. Her name is Mama Cass and she belongs to Pam (Alderbrookchins) and she says that when she sits on her lap, the neighbours think she's a cat. She isn't in breeding b/c she's too fat. :laughitup:
