What should i expect?

Well im gonna be gone starting friday and getting back the next saturday so 9 days, what should i expect my chin to act like when i get back? A neighbor will check her food and water intake and give her some toys and twigs every day but she wont get to come out, will she be mad at me? About how long will it take to fix this? Also i have a water buddy with cardboard as a shield it has about 2 inches of card board going out each way, she has only chewed a few centimeters in my old one but since she may be angry will she chew at it more and maybe get to the plastic?

I would buy a glass water bottle or two. I would have a backup in the cage for sure. 23 hours is to long to possibly go without water. Yes I expect she will be mad and sad when you get home. Louey was my most sensitive unhappy boy when I returned.

I was gone last summer for almost 2 weeks and my chin was very glad to see me. A little shy at first, but I sat with her patiently until she was ready to accept me wholeheartedly again.

We again leave for vacation down the coast line tomorrow and will be gone about a week. My chin won't get to come out for playtime either, which she has had freely all this time. I feel bad that she will be stuck in her cage, and I know she'll miss us because she is so social. I will give her extra time and attention when we get back.

Do you think the water bottle will be fine? I can put a glass superpet one in but ive noticed she drinks more when she has an edstrom
