hi i dont no if i have this in the right place but im just after get a chin there afew days ago and it really tame , i mean will let you pet it , hops up into my hands and licks my finger through the cage is this normal for a chin? anyway i have some more questions does anyone have a hammock in with chins ? i was thinking about putting one in with mine but i would like to hear your views first .

the chin is acting quite normal, and it seems to be taking a liking to you seeing how you havent had it very long. I do not have a hammock, but most everyone says their chin loves it. they arent hard to make at all. you can buy fleece at any real fabric store, and the eyelets you can get at a hardware store. just remember it takes a special tool to make the eyelets correct.

cheers i was just wondering most of the chins i even seen werernt nice i taught i was just lucky haha

I was ignorant and bought my first chin from a pet store chain, and it took about 2 months just to get to pet her.. The new one i got, it came from a breeder and its fairly tame already.. lessons learned. you got lucky for sure

Well my wildest chins have come from good breeders
I think much has to do with each chin.
For the most part if they are handled from birth they are pretty friendly.
I bought 2 from a fur farm that had never been handled, didn't even have names at 5 years old. They were both the sweetest, and could be handled from the sec. I picked them up.
I still have one of them she's 15 now, and just the sweetest chin you could find.
Most mine are pretty tame but I have a few females that will always try to be head of the herd.

another question i have is do you no the fleece you make hammocks out of for chins is that the same material that some jumpers are made out of ? i only ask because im in ireland and alot of names for things are different in american to ireland so i just said i'd ask b4 i made one

[Debbie.nl.ca]

Yes and I'm not sure what you mean for jumper 

Fleece is a warm woven material mainly used for jacket/sweaters of sorts.
It's soft and has no threads to pull out like most materials.
We find it lined in winter snow pants too.
You must be able to buy hammocks at the pet store? They are made of fleece.
The latest thing here is fleece sheets, bedding. I love them, as they are warm to crawl into in the winter months.

i got both mine from a bet store and one got used to me sooner, pogo. But i had him 2 weeks before snowe. But now snowie is more tame. Pogo doesn't like to be held. He never did. But he climbs one me. I can hold snowie. But pogo is not tame in a since. He likes to excape. As far as the hammock, if its made of all flease its fine. Mine came with the cage and it wasn't. Mine were chewing on it. I'v been thinking of getting a faret one from petsmart.
