Thanks everyone. I think Pika is doing fine without his brother...he is still eating and playing as usual. And he has allowed me to hold him much more now. I will just wait to see how it plays out...whenever I go to bed I feel like he's all alone with nothing to do (even though he has a huge cage and toys!) Probably the way they stare at you saying "let me out again" lol.

He seems to be okay without a roomie, I think I feel worse then he does....

after how long should I put a toy in and what kind since he'll chew on it for sure? 

also, how did you know when yours was sad? I can't tell if he is or if its just me

Health / Recent Death / Now single chin

Two days ago one of my chins passed away  While out playing we found him just laying there, he didn't seem to be able to move his front right arm, and within 5 mintutes he passed in my arms. Can you please tell me if this sounds like a stroke? or heart attack?

I am extremly sad by this but even more so, I don't know what to do with my other chin (Pika). He seems to be acting okay right now. He's eating hay, pellets, dusting, letting me hold him ect. On the other hand he seems to be sleeping a lot...almost moping in his house but then again it could be my imagination since I'm so sad...

I know they can get depressed: when does this usually start after losing a "roommate"? Should and when do I get Pika a new friend? He is a 3 1/2 yr old male...should we get him a new/old male/female?

Thanks so much
