I have a couple more questions:
1. when can I reunite the mom and dad in the cage?
2. when do I start to put a water bottle within the babies' reach?

how are they doing?

sorry for the late reply and I apologize for not having pics up yet. I have since kit-proofed the cage. However I did notice 1 of them (Peanut) is doing well and interacting with the mom and me when I pick him up. however the other one (plankton) wasnt as lively and as perky as Peanut. Since last week I had to constantly put him under the mom and up until yesterday he has not opened his eyes yet. I also noticed Peanut has grown to almost 2x as big as Plankton. Early morning Sunday I found Plankton's lifeless body

Thanks Diana, good thing you mentioned the 2nd post. And I did see him all over her so I separated them now. I will remove the shelving as well that was good advise.

I still did put in a water bottle just incase

Q & A / Newborn chins

« on: July 20, 2010, 09:44:19 AM »

My Cleo just gave birth to 2 babies just a few minutes ago. Their cage isnt kit proofed yet. So i put the 2 babies in a box on the base of the cage. The mother doesnt want to go down from her house high up the cage

I also watched Tony the father and he quickly jumped in the box wih them. He seems to be licking them.

How do i care and what do i feed them?

Q & A / Re: Urinating/staining fur

« on: July 13, 2010, 11:52:19 AM »

When you are training them to use a little box I noticed they like it clean. So change the litter box daily, that's what I do. It will helps.

mine are mostly good if i don't have the shelf in that came with the FN142.. when i have that in, it is covered with fleece, and they will go on the fleece..i don't if its because i used to use fleece on the bottom of their cage, so they are used to it, or if its just because its not a bare floor.   

fleece to line a shelf...theres an idea

Q & A / Re: Cleaning a Beige

^^ Agree, she may have a bladder infection but baby wipes work great. When I bought 3 of my chins they came with parasites and I used baby wipes to clean their bum.

I didnt even think of it but I renovated their cage to all wood shelvings and almost zero shavings other than the flooring in their homes.  

Im planning to make a litterbox and see i it changes before I go to a vet. There has been no change in mood so far
