Hey Chin lovers!
My name is Steven. I have 2 little guys. One is Buster and he's 3 years old and the other is Sampson and he is about a year old. They are the best of buddies and just love their play time. We give them about 45 minutes to an hour every night. They know the routine very well and go back into their habitat on their own when we ring the bell signaling "time is up".
They are so sweet, except when plotting against the cats. Actually, they really enjoy the cats. Especially bouncing off of them. We've never had a problem with the kitties since they have always been around small animals. I think one of the cats think they are her babies.
We have a very nice habitat for them that is 6ft tall by 3ft wide by 3ft deep. Got a fantastic sale when our local Petsmart was moving a block away. So, they have plenty of room to play when not out and about. We had really nice high end air conditioners put in from Sears that keeps my whole place a nice 68 degrees.
My guys were rescues from homes that just didn't have time for them. Classic mistake, they purchased them from a pet store for small children. I've had them now for about 6 months and they are very very happy. I'm not opposed to having more but I'm disabled due to MS and these guys are quite pricy for a guy on a fixed income.
Anyway, thanks for adding me to the community and hope to hear from you all very soon!
