Meet Darcie and Avery

[Ilysuiteheart]

So the Picture didnt work on my actual introduction thread so I thought I'd redo it so you can see it
=D

They are boyfriend and girlfriend.
Avery is the gray and Darcie is the Mosiac.
This is their first kiss.(with my camera phone)

Avery isn't scared of anything but Darcie is the complete opposite. She's very private and personal, but Avery always wants to play.

Ha Sorry, Just thought I'd tell you about them.

<3

ah, there's the picture! Thanks for reposting it! It is an adorable picture...such love! And don't apologize...we all love taking a million pictures of our chins and we also love to see everyone elses chins!

Having a male and female (unaltered) generally produces babies. That cage is not baby safe, the bar openings are too wide and a kit would easily squeeze through.

They are cuties though.

Cute picture.

They are cute, but like it's been mentioned, I hope you are prepared for babies...along with all the possible complications that go along with them: the risk of your female dying, the babies dying, having to pay large vet bills, possibly having to get up every few hours of the night to handfeed.....

Plus those chins look way too small to breed.

Concerning babies

Haha I dont keep them in the same cage. I just let them play together CLOSELY supervised everyday. =]

I did all the research before I bought her and I am not planning on ever breeding them atleast not without a specialist checking her out first.

Theyre cages are relatively close so they sit next to each other and sort of cuddles but nothing breeding wise goes on! ^^

Of course theyre small. Theyre really young. The white one was like 3 months in that picture.

But thanks for the concern!

It's great that you've done your research, but know that close supervision won't cut it. Male chins get the deed done very, very quickly. The best and only reliable way to prevent a pregnancy is separate play times. Please consider it.

Although they are very cute together, a young female getting pregnant is obviously very bad for her health. Pregnancies have been reported here before with the excuse, "they were just together for a few minutes during playtime, nothing happened, I'm sure of it."

Congratulations, and your babies are very cute )!
As dragonflye said, they're mating can happen very quickly and can happen during playtime, as that happend to me with my first 2 chins over 5 years ago. Mine were also in seperate cages and I was there with them at playtime and never saw it happen. I was very lucky in my situation but I was totally unprepared. Good luck with your babies.
