I will continue to keep a close eye on her. She stays as high up as she can for now, only comes down for her baths and food. I did read that she could get pregnant right after, so I'll avoid that. Thank you, they are so sweet. Do I have to worry about the Lethal factor, in the babies. I was trying to find info for after birth, I think I remember seeing that females can get an infection if given a dust bath, I don't really remember where I read that at. How long do you wait to give one after birth? I just need to make a list of questions when I think of them, it would be easier. Can Chins have toys made with Sisal rope or twine? I make toys for my buns, just wondered if it would be suitable for Chins too. Thanks for all your help.

Mokie, who reminds me of Kung Fu Panda's Master, when he does that.

Soot, My Pretty girl.
 The day we brought them home.

The Chins cage, before modification, Mokie could escape.


Is it ok, to leave them in it until she, has the kits, or should they be separated now?

Well, they are male and female, Mokie, is the male he's light gray, and Soot is the female, white with light gray marks around her eyes.
We went to the pet store to buy fish for the aquarium, I saw the Chins in a separate room, and fell in love with them. They were in a small cage, nothing in the cage but them. So we debated getting them, not ever having any experience with Chins at all. I had only seen a Chin one other time, and it was years ago. So as an early Valentines present Hubby brought them home. We have 9 Rabbits so we put the Chins in the Rabbit room. Away from the cats and dog. I'm giving them time to get used to the sounds of my voice, and the sounds of the house. Mokie will come up to me, but only on his terms. The Pet store said Soot is pregnant, and I'm not sure how far along she is, but I've been reading everything I can find on breeding, and pregnancy. The pet store said that they will buy the Babies from me, but that's not an option, if she is I'm keeping them. I hate going to pet stores, really. So I'm not going to add to the pet store animals. It's always so sad seeing them in small cages. As for age, I have no idea. I'm hoping that, they aren't brother and sister, and she's old enough, but I don't know for sure. I hope that someone elses mistake, doesn't cost me my heart. I check in on them often, and I'm a stay at home mom, so I'm always here, just in case something happens.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I recently got two Chins. Looking forward to getting to know everyone, and learning as much as I can.
