(*) If you have a fine scale, weigh your chin before and right after a dust bath. If you wait too long and they have a high PPM rate (poos per minute) it'll skew the results.
I have Tilly and Gizmo. Sometimes I call them a combined name like Tillmo, Gilly or Gizzy. Other times my partner and I just call them stinker #1 and stinker #2. Also, at one point we weren't sure if Tilly was a boy or girl so we started calling her Bill (as a joke). Although we know now she is definitiely a girl we still call her that.
I am also fluent in French and I call them Mes petits cochons (my little pigs) avec des grandes derrieres (with big bottoms)
Moche is Mr Sparkels, Soft, Moche Soft, and softing.
Shadow is Shadow buddy,
Theodore is Teddy, teddy bear, baby soft.
Syd is little soft, baby soft , mean soft and Angry soft. He always chews his cage bars and will attack any of the other boys. I think he has small chinchilla syndrome.
Haha...my husband and I speak spanish to one of our chins more than the other for some reason (maybe because she has a spanish name) so she's our spanish speaking chin.
I call them collectively the Chu-Chus or My fatties/fuzzies or the Chin-bobins. Hahaha...
