   So cute.

Very cute!  Precious little ones!

Question, Please:  Are you using hay as the bedding? 

Remember, if it gets wet or moist, it is a breeding ground for mold, fungus and bad bacteria.

No I feed her the night before and then she didn't eat the hay,But she had the baby's on it.She pushed it all to the conner! Kiara is usually up stairs,I put the hay down stairs. When I weighed the baby's I cleaned cage. I glad you said something,someone reading this might thought it was OK to use as bedding.

[Jo Ann]

Yep, I figured you knew ... but, I just wanted to double check and to remind others.

And, yes, info to others who may read it is always good, we often forget what we once did not know ourselves.

 I do this quite often, mostly as a reminder to others or for info they may not think they need to even ask about.

I received a question from a new chin owner the other day. 
As a routine, in return I ask about the bedding she was using ...
it turned out to be cedar.     

So I ask more questions:

The food was a Kaytee "Deluxe Mix".     
The hut was made of plastic.    
The dust bath dust was left in the cage 24/7.   
The shelves and ramps were made of plastic. 
It also was being given to many treats.   
And nuts were available to it also.     

It had been in that environment for over a month ... don't know why is was still alive.   

It is down right scary at times ... these poor little chins with uninformed owners.   
I'm just glad they ask.

Yeah yesterday was a busy day for me,it was weighing ,cage cleaning day and new baby's. I didn't even think about the hay,I took mom and baby out cleaned and put them back in,and never thought about when I posted the pix that some might not know that.  I am soo happy that you caught that. Thank god you were able to help the chin owner and the chin. To think what might have happed had she/you not askd any questions.

It is really hard.  I had a new owner here last week with all sorts of questions.  Even though she was very curious and wanted to know everything.  It still made me nervous.  But I was also thankful that she Was asking questions since it was her first Chin.  She got everything she needed over this past week and came to pick up the baby yesterday.  She had more questions, but she sounded like she had things undercontrol.  And that she was very concerned for the babies wellbeing.  So I was very happy to sell her a Chin.
I wish more chin buyers and owners could be that way.
I had a girl yesterday email me wanting to know about my chins because she wanted to get into breeding.  But it was her first time, and she didnt want to do "Grays because there are so many out there".  So I explained to her why you need the standards when breeding mutations. YOu cant just do all mutations without the standards or the mutations will weaken.  She wanted to jump right into breeding mutations without any knowledge at all.  AND she said to me she had 2-6 year old chins, a male and female. but she was told she couldnt breed them, so she is trying to find homes for them....which was a red flag for me, if she wanted to get rid of them just for the fact that she couldnt use them to breed??  I have a lot of rescues I cant breed, thats why they are rescues, i dont just get rid of em.

So that worried me a lot.  We will see what her next email says.  And I keep asking her to fill out my questionaire/ application so I can know a little more about her. and she hasnt yet, i asked her twice.

I know what who mean,I had a 7th grader email me the other day who's chin had quads and the runt was getting beat up and losing weight. He kept asking question after question,which was great because the baby is gaining now.

Congrats Summer,
They are just cute enough to eat!

I so love it when they have questions, it's the ones who don't that worry me.
