Cages / Re: Cage Question

« on: January 12, 2011, 08:35:57 PM »

Thanks for all the great responses! I found a site that makes dried pine shelving custom fit, so I will be buying those to replace the other shelves with.

If anyone minds answers, I have a few more questions (sorry to be a pest, but so far I'm probably the over protective parent of my girl)

I bought her a wheel tonight but she jumped on top of it and started running, panicked and got stuck between the wheel and the cage...luckily I was standing right there to help her get out of the pickle.  A lot of sites say they need a wheel to exercise, will she eventually figure it out or is it dangerous to put the wheel back in there?

Also, I bought her Aspen bedding tonight to replace the paper bedding that her former owners gave her to me with, is that a good type of bedding to get?

Also, any suggestions on food/toys/treats?

Finally, is getting a little hammock for her good or do they prefer the wooden houses?

Thanks again!

Cages / Cage Question

« on: December 27, 2010, 02:48:29 AM »

Hello all! I am new to the forums and a new Chin owner.

My girl, Lilly, was sold to me about a month ago from someone who couldn't take care of her any more.

They were keeping her in a small rabbit cage and I'm looking into getting her a much bigger house.

I was just curious if this would be a good choice for a place for her to call her new home:

Also, she had a horrible temperament when I first got her but she's calmed down a lot now and loves to be rubbed behind the ears.  She's still very cautious though and won't step onto my hands even though I spend at least an hour a day with her.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.
