Greetings! Im new to the forums!

Can anyone post pictures of their chins' cages and/or habitat setups? Would be interesting to see how far some pet lovers have gone to give their chillas the best care and housing

I am still redesigning the cage levels. But in the meantime heres a picture of Cleopatra

Thanks! shes the only girl of my chins.

That is a nice cage you got there. but given that its wood, hows the chewmarks on edges? can you take closer pics inside as well?

I will take more pics on saturday. the whole cage is made of untreated pine. the only thing they have chewed on is the house that I made them, and they have definately made it their own.

hi again.. actually you really should.. people don't realize how important it is to have a scale until your chin gets sick, and i do include myself in that statement... that is actually why i say it.. i have been threw it..  there are many type of scales you don't have to spend alot of money.. i got mine at walmarts...  nothing special at all.. but it sure comes in handy..
