I was wondering if the board would consider a "top ten" list of sorts. Since we're new to this board and new Chin parents, I'm really leaning a ton for all of you wonderful ladies! But I've also come to realize just how much I really don't know about Chins too! Like the roshehips for instance, I had no clue they would be good for Chins! All of the recommendations: such as food, hay,dust, emergency supplies, nutritional supplements........etc,etc The top ten list (or top twenty,thirty) would be quick beginner check list of essentials,and items that are just good to have on hand. Another example is the wheel, we bought what we thought was the best and biggest wheel for Chazz! Then, we learned about the other wheels. Just tossing this up for consideration!  Thanks! |

wow yea Dawn summed that up lol.
I know when I was a new chin owner, I had done alot of research but once I had him home, I realized how much I didn't know. So I thank god for forums like this, and I am still learning new stuff every day, even 1 1/2 years later.. :-)

I wish I had started building my own wooden stuff before buying all the crap I bought that I never used. They now have wooden shelves, wooden houses, wooden hay boxes, wooden toy boxes, and homemade toys. Much better for chins than anything the stores carry.
