What I worry about with the fleece liners is the poop sitting there because my one boy has to put everything in his mouth and will eat his own poop if he can get to it. I would use the smallest wiring possible. I don't understand why he has to put everything in his mouth. He doesn't eat the plastic from the food dish or litter pan, I monitor that closely but anything else he has to eat. He's always trying to eat my rings, my fingers, my nails, my clothes, my hair, my eyelashes, and he mouths my nose and lips all the time. I have to keep my nails short because he'll take chunks out of them while I'm holding him. His teeth are fine and there's no slobbering or any other signs of problems and he has plenty of chew toys, he just likes to put things in his mouth and poop is a favorite.
I think I found an FN for $70 obo, I'm so excited and it's within driving distance. My cage right now is nice but the wire sees flimsy and I'm afraid to attach heavy shelves to it. I currently have a five level cage but I'm limited in what I can attach to it plus it has two tiny doors that I can hardly fit anything through. I have to twist and turn the litter pan to get it through the cage doors. I'm so excited. I just emailed the seller and I'm waiting to hear back, I offered $50 because it has a crack in the pan and the wheels are damaged but I can fix or replace them. Wish me luck, it's the only way this poor girl is getting an FN anytime soon.
This sounds like normal chin behavior to me... They like to "taste" everything and that's why it's REALLY important to make sure everything is safe to chew in their cages. Make sure he doesn't chew fleece also. And also, all chins eat their poo...it's gross, but it's natural.
