Title: Heat?
Post by: maggie on March 27, 2012, 06:57:07 AM

How do you know if your female chin is in heat? Do they bleed or is there anything that needs to be done?

With chins a trained eye will notice an enlargement of the vulva. There should be no blood. If there is bleeding you have a problem.

GrayRodent is right, you can tell by the opening of her "privates."  Mine, when in heat, also get cranky and don't like to deal with each other.
