Cages / Re: cages

« on: June 11, 2006, 12:38:12 PM »

I got another question that concerning the cages

Mine has a plastic base pan. Actually, I found that 98% of cages that sold in Hong Kong are of plastic base pan( some can be removed but some not) and with painting/ coating wire. They look lovely and cutie themselves. Some are with wire base. But the shop assistants always told you not to put them on the base in order to seperate the bedding. They said the chins love to walk on solid ground and love to stay on the wood shaving/ other kind of bedding materials(some are made of recycle paper, like the one for cats, but it said it is for small animal like rabbits, hamsters, chins and even snakes.)

acutually, one of my chin, mama, had to cut one arm off since her arm was trapped in between the wire grids. So, i would why all the cages i saw in the non-hong kong websites are with wire base. Besides, my chins do chew the sides of the plastic base and the wire coating , but no problems happened at all. So, would it be ok to use the plastic base and let the chins chew the plastic? But i think i can't  find a cage that is big enough and without plasitic base.

P.s. My cage also has a plastic fence surround it to avoid the poop and litter from flying out.

Q & A / Re: My chin bites !!!

Thanks to null and leslie.

Two of my chins( MaMa, grey, 4 years old, Female and ChaCha, 3 years old, Male) have been with me for almost two years. Cha Cha is very grumpy, he not just bit me and my husband, but also the vet and the vet assistant. The vet said he has never seen such a bad temper chin before. He said Cha Cha has mental problem. It is too nervious.

MaMa is single-armed because she was very active and trapped her arm between the wire grid( i don't know how it happened exactly, it was raised by my friend before). She doesn't want to share with others.

Another two are Snowball(pink white, 4 months old, Male) and P( 5 months old, female, half grey helf white, MaMa's girl) live together. I raised P since she borned then i bought Snowball back to stay with her a month ago. Snowball bit me when i first met him at the pet shop. Despite he bit,  he looked so beautiful and had the colour i longed for, besides, the shop assistant said snowball bites because he is hungry( i wonder why i am so stupid to believe such bullpoo) so i bought him home. Snowball was first lived with MaMa and P. But because MaMa bit and hit him, he lost much fur, i seperated MaMa from P and him. Somehow, i think snowball bites me for curiosity instead of bad intention.  It like to sniff my finger. After that, it will bite me. Though that didn't make me bleed,  i don't like this kind of behaviour.

For P, she is a fast runner, i can't get near her....

So, for my situation, can anyone give me some more advice cos i find that local hong kong have little knowledge about chin, even the pet shop assistants, they are saleperson only, they even give false information!!

hi to you all,

i come from hong kong and i am a new comer of this web page. i am very glad to find this website cos there is no such good quality website in hong kong.

i would like to ask why my chins( 2girls 2boys) bite me and my husband. One of them wounded my hundred's finger. It's not just painful, but also cause his finger bled.

can anyone in this forum had the same experience and can teach me to fix the problem. i really want to hug them but now i am a bit afraid of their teeth.
