I probably added the camera after you last updated your profile. Go to profile in the blue menu at the top of the page then click on Forum Profile Information. You will probably find a few new things listed there you can add to your profile. One of them will tell you to check a box if you have an album. That will add the camera to your profile. :)

Hi, I'm a newby. I just got a chin named Cricket form petland. He hasn't been drinking much and I was wondering do chins drink much.
-
Hi Madie--welcome to the club. You are going to love this place!! How long have you had your chin? I like his name. He may not be familiar to his new environment yet. They usually don't eat or drink much until they feel comfortable in their living conditions. Sometimes that can take up to a couple of weeks. Most are comfortable within a week. He should be eating or drinking some, though. Pregnant females usually drink lots of water towards the end of their pregnancy before they deliver. But I guess that doesn't concern "Him", right? I have heard it is best to just let them be, put their food in & maybe talk to them near the cage at first. What color is he? Chin addiction is very contagious........ ~JANE* ::silly::

If you make your avatar 100px x 100px it should be fine. Save it in .gif format.
