My Chin Update
« on: August 03, 2012, 06:22:46 PM »
Hello everyone:

I posted about a month ago regarding my  4, 4-month old chins. I found out one was actually 5 months.

So now I have 3, 5-mongth olds and 1, 6-month old.

They are all doing great, growing well and becoming used to me.

Two of them hardly squirm when I pick them up, basically I can just scoop them up.

Regarding the other two, one it is still a bit of a hassle and the other is better than the hassle one, but not scoopable yet.

At what age are chins fully grown?

Their names are Fluff Jr, Ratatoullie, Stitch, and Milk Dud.

I know some take longer to grow than others. I'm going to guess 8 months. I do know breeders generally wait until 12 months before breeding.

It may vary, usually about a year i think... however, i do know that males can mature as early as 3 months, however, I've heard that it is different than females. this is a concern if you are keeping mixed genders in the same cage (judging by their names, I'm guessing that there all boys). Chins often mature before they are full grown, so if you are keeping them in the same cage as the mother, (again i am only speculating what your situation may be) it is high time they got a place of their own (a separate cage)

I have 4 boys.

Their colors are

Standard VC - Stitch
Standard - Ratatoullie
White Mosaic - Fluff Jr.
Brown Velvet - Milk Dud.

Fluff JR and Stitch are the best looking two out of the Quad.

Sorry about the lack of pictures, I stayed out later than planned last night, now I am at work, hopefully I get a chance tonight lol.

I'm not sure if it's just those pictures but it seems to me that Ratatouille's eyelids are drooping compared the others. Looks like you're having fun.

I think its just the pics, aside from the one where he is coming out of the cage onto my hand.

The other ones, he is in stonewall mode lol.
