Hello everyone (my first post!),
I just noticed that one of my chins (his name is Baby and he's about 8 months old) is leaving droppings that are chained together. What does this mean? He's eating as usual. I haven't changed his food at all (chin pellets with various foods added ie. one day I add a few sunflower seeds, next day some rolled oats, next day sesame seeds, next day shredded wheat, etc, etc - all in very small amounts and always alternating the cycle). Both my chins prefer the alfalfa hay (which is always abundant for them). Each night I've been giving them some treats when they go back in the cage. Again it various, but treats given include: a raisin (or other dried fruit including apple, banana, cranberry, papaya), alfalfa cookie (never more than half of one), small animal donut (made by Living World), rolled oats, shredded wheat, and once in a while a very small piece of Dandelion Drops. I almost always give them three treats each: one piece of dried fruit, oats or shredded wheat or a donut, and a piece of Dandelion Drops or Alfalfa Cookie.
Can anyone help me diagnose why his dropping are linked together? Thanks in advance - TODD
