about a month and a half ago, i was given a mother chin and her 1 week old baby. they have a decent sized two floor cage (1 ramp), a wheel, and the original owner had told me to use hay as their bedding. i researched when i first got them and decided hay as bedding was not good, since they eat the hay to digest food... i switched to aspen, i dont believe that they enjoy this type of bedding. any other decent suggestions?
i know that mother chins cannot be kept in the same cage with its male kit after i believe.. 12 weeks.
I am unsure of the babies gender. are there any sites or advice on telling the gender besides bringing it to someone?
what is the best thing to do if it turns out to be a male.. separate them? or give the baby away and get a new friend for the female? are females easily situated with other new females?
also, i am getting a new cage tomorrow since i feel that the cage i have now will not be best once the baby gets full grown. i am getting a martins townhouse cage. any opinions on this cage?
thank you!
