Hi everyone,
My Chin has just gotten a lot bigger, so I got her a new cage. The first night I set it up and brought her down to it, and let her play in it to see if she seemed to enjoy it or not. She bounced around and seemed to like it better then her old cage. I brought her back upstairs and put her in her old cage (because it was late and I didn't feel like cleaning the old cage, setting up the new cage, etc). The next day I get the new cage ready and put her in it. She now refuses to leave from it. She lets me pet her through the cage bars, but if I put my hand in the cage, she sparys urine at me. Now, my chin has always been very loving, she likes being held and pet, and normally hates being in a cage. She doesn't seem to hate this cage, she seems just to love it too much. So I was wondering what you guys thought.

Sounds like she loves her new cage and does not want to go back to her old one ... don't blame her ... she has much more room to run and play now.

You have ticked off this little one big time! rofl Chins usually do not spray unless they are mad, hurt, upset or scared.

She could be afraid your going to put her back in the old one. She could like the new one so much she is not leaving it for anything right now.
I have seen this with mine.
You should see my males hide when the kits are born :D they know they have to leave for a while and really don't want to.
Give her time she should adjust.
