Girl Talk.. for Chin'girls

[Aneesa's Muse]

The girls I rescued a few months ago, have moved into the bedroom with us, recently... next to Phoenix's cage. It's cooler... and it free'd up some space in another part of the house.. due to the massive size of their cage. Whew!

Okay.. so they are noisy! VERY!! I'm pretty used to wheel noise (bRats) ..and someone visiting me in the middle of the night (Phoenix) ..but the hubby is not. It's actually his jumping up and grumbling and so on, that's keeping me awake. (I can't wait for him to go back on nights!)

Anyhoo.. last night was exceptional... and it left me wondering if the girls may have some serious PMS issues when they are "in heat" ..or cycling ..or whatever female chins do. If one is extra "moody" ..does it cause the lesser one to catch more heck?

I mean, they could've just been fussing over the binky/bindi rings that hang on the kabob'a 'ma jig thingy... but it seemed like it was about a lot more than that. Obsidian was being entirely too pushy with Palay.. but not hurting her.. just being obnoxious... and I thought it may be related to cycling.


Any ideas?


I apologize for the rambling.. 6 day migraine.. no caffeine yet... bad combo

Some females are moody when they are in estrus.

Some are very moody, but could she be pregnant, that makes them even more moody!

Hmmm...maybe Lola is always in estrus - she's moody ALL the time! :laughitup:

They've been with me since late January.. this year. They were quarantined for 90 days... then kept in separate rooms (from Phoenix) ..and never allowed out for play time, when he's out. There was some visiting through cage bars, about 2 months ago... when Obsidian got out and went creepin' in the night ..to see Phoenix. He always went in his little house and ignored her, though ..so I don't think they could've done any "whoopy" through the cage bars (like my bRats are still under suspicion for).

If they've had no contact since before I got them, wouldn't they be clear of pregnancy? I've never read much on breeding or any of that info cuz I have no desire to do any of that.. I like boys! ..so not even sure what gestation is. Isn't it something like 140 days, though?


And yes, Obsidian is the pesky'er of the two girls.. she even stands up and barks at me when I piss her off. It's usually cuz I won't let her out.. she thinks 24/7 is "out time" ..or I moved the food bowl. The girl loves food! (And I'm fine with that ..cuz her body definitely needs to match her humongous ears! LMBO!! )

I need some pics of Phoenix, I love that little guy. What's he been up to?

I wish I could oblige you with pics of the Phoenix, but he drools quite a bit these days.. and he's just not in proper photo form. He bounces all around and plays and "talks" to us, still ..and he empties his food bowl everyday.. so I don't feel that he's ready to leave us yet, but his teeth grow like weeds and we are doing our best to stay on top of it.

He's a little grumpy that the "monsters" have moved into his room, though.. haha. He doesn't get to play all night long ..nor use his steps to get on the bed and visit Mah.. like he did before they moved in there. Poor fella! God willing, he'll live 'til the weather changes back to cooler temps ..and he can have his extended free range time again

Thank you for asking about him :heart:
