Glad he seems to be ok. :thumbsup:
I'd still keep a close eye on him for a few more days & make sure he doesn't get a snotty nose or anything.

As for the pineapple - I'd chuck it. Chins don't need sugary treats & they are bad for both teeth (tooth decay like we get) & too much sugar in the gut (fermenting & bloating).
Nice healthy treats which are full of fibre are the best things for chinnies. There are plenty of good healthy treats that don't contain sugar & are far "better" for the chins in the long term.

Good luck with dividing the cage. Does Nico smell any better yet?

When I first got my chin a couple of years ago, we had her loose in the house, and not under close enough observation, and she jumped into an empty toilet. Her whole backend was soaked. I guess we were lucky, and all I did at the time was dry her off as best I could and she was just fine. I didn't know about fungus, didn't think about complications from her dip. But luckily she was just fine, and I didn't have to worry about a cage mate upset by her smell.

Thank goodness there are forums like this that make us aware of how to properly care for our chins and how not to make the same mistakes again. I have needed advice in the past and the members have been invaluable!

I'm so happy to hear your chin seems to be doing just fine. Just give your chin time to get over this and any smell he might have. As well as anything that could be passed along to your other chin. I hope they will bond fully again, but it is wise not to rush it. Best of luck to you

Thankyou for your comment, I've divided the cage, they live in a huge parrot cage so couldn't split it down the middle, so I've had to divide it across the shelves, there's still plenty of room, Bo Bo was a liitle aggressive but that only lasted 5 min, they are doing little cherping noises to each other but nico did make a crying noise like he was scared. Everything is calm now. I put nico on top level and Bo Bo is below. I hope they become friends again.

Thankyounagain everyone for your help, will update as things progress.

Update on Nico AAnd Bo Bo...
Nico is completely fine eating, pooping and running around and Bo Bo is fine too.
i cleaned there cage out today, they have been in the same cage but it has been devided beacause they wern't getting on.
so after cleaning it i put Nico in the top section and Bo Bo at the bottom. i was in the same room doing some tidying up. I heard a noise Nico had pulled the wire so he could get through so he got in the lower part of the cage with Bo Bo. Bo Bo had a quick smell and they seem to be fine hes not chasing him and they acting as normal.
Dont worry i am sitting in the room with them and watching them very closely. Im so happy that it looks like hings may be ok with them.....Best christmas present ever.

Hope everyone ahd a great christmas and all the best to everyone for the new year.. thank you for your support regarding the matter:wink2:
