i'm not sure, If This is where it goes, But Recently Me and my faince wanted to add a new chin to our family. But we are scared Hinata and the new chin will not get along, I don't wanna bring a new chin home only to find that her and the new chin don't get along? Is there anyway, That introducing to chin's make it easier? I know it's a hit or miss, with them getting along or not, but i don't know What is the best way to introduce new chin's to eachother? Please help!!!!! :hair:
 
"Any" way, even if several people tell you the "best" way of doing intros there is no guarantee they will get along. That is why we always say to have an extra cage always available when you have more than 1 chin caged together.
 
Make sure that you want the chin because YOU and your fiance want the 2nd pet. I have 4 chins, I intended for each of them to have a buddy but they have all decided to be single. So I have 4 of everything.
 
Chins can "not get along" at any point in their relationship, could be 2 weeks, could be two years from introduction and will need to be separated, you need to have as many cages as chins as a back up in case it happens, if you can't do that then stick with one chin, single chins do fine.
 
Thanks for the Info. We talked it over, And right now, Hinata is enough chin for us. She seems to do fine! Though, I have come to notice she perfers me over, Him. She will come up to the cage and give me "Kisses" And lets me pet her and stuff. She just uses him for a climbing post XD.. But thanks for the advice :D
