Q & A / Re: Play pens?

i normally let mine out in the bathroom, but i used to let her out in the bedroom. i just grabbed the covers and hung them to the floor, but remember, if they see any opening, they will go for it. mine never got under the bed when i did the covers right.

Q & A / Re: sharp nails?
« on: May 09, 2010, 01:58:56 PM »
my chin seems to " dig " on some of the wood, and her nails arent sharp at all. kinda funny to watch as well 
. but i looked in a few books that I have on chin care, and there nothing in there about their nails.

I built a new cage over the weekend, its all made out of untreated pine, it is 24" wide, 48" long, and 60" high. so ill be able to fit a few in there together, if they decide to like eachother. I got a week of vacation coming up at the end of May, so im gonna try to do it that week, so i can watch them argue from cage to cage.

I am interested in saving a few chins. How do you guys that do rescues go about finding them? Ive looked on craigslist and everybody seems to want to turn a profit on them. Im willing to pay some but not full breeder retail. any advice you have, please tell

I know that chins love toilets paper rolls. mine decides it wants to eat it? how safe is that? i have " chinchilla proofed " my bathroom, which is where i let her play. She runs and gets up to where she can reach the toilet paper roll and she wants to eat that too. I have been taking it away from her, but i saw a few posts where people let them play with it.

Cages / Re: Has anyone used this cage before?
« on: April 18, 2010, 05:44:35 PM »
I personally think no cage can be too big. These little guys live to explore. My concern about the cage is all the wire platforms for their little feet to get stuck in and cause an injury. You might as how big is the spacing between the wires, i didnt see anywhere it says that. The slide out pan is a big help. I built my own cage in a few hours, i didnt make it have a slide out pan, i just vacuum it all out with a shop-vac, ( while the chin is out ), then clean my pan with a mild soap and let it air dry. If you wish, i can find the link i found how to make your own cage in and link it to you. I spent about $140 to build mine, and it is awesome.. ( the chin thinks so anyways )

Hello All! My name is Josh, I currently have 1 chin and im looking to perhaps rescue a few more in the near future. I have joined this community to learn and share my experiances with everyone. Ive had my chin ( Silvia ) for a week now and have enjoyed it very much, always making me laugh... I am 24, married, we also have 2 dachsunds that we adore as well. Ill post up some videos and pictures i have here in a while.
