Q & A / forcing to hold

« on: March 09, 2010, 10:06:01 AM »

Hi all First of all I just wanted to say how much I love this site and you all are so helpful.  I have had my chin for over a week now and he still does not like to be held or really touched for that matter. lol. The last couple of days I have forced him to stay in my arms for maybe about 5min to just hold and talk to him.  However he squirms the whole time and I can tell he does not enjoy it.......so my question is should I be forcing this to get him use to being held or should I let him come to me on his own terms?

Hi!  Well our bathrooms are very small, and I have two kids so all our rooms are occupied I did think about my bedroom but my husband is a police officer and sleeps during the day with a white noise machine (4 days out of the week) so that would not be ideal unless the Chin would be ok with the constant sound of rain falling in the back ground hehe.  He seems to snooze ok through out the day but still I know their hearing is ultra sensitive and my son get's loud in his play sometimes or I am doing the dishes etc. So not many options

Hi all I am a new Chin owner and so excited to have found this forum!!  I am in love with my little guy, I have had him for about a week now and I have a concern.  His cage is in our main living area because we live in a small townhouse and really there is know where else for him to go!!  I have 2 kids 4 and 6, during the day only the 4 year old and I are home but still it can get noisy with all the normal day to day living.  I don't want this to be a stressful environment for him with all the noise during the day not allowing him to sleep. I called the pet store where I purchased him and they said he was in a noisy pet store all day so he will be fine but I would love to hear from all of you with experience.  Thanks
