Hi Jao,
HK have many chin owner, you can have a lot of fun there, if you need some connection from HK, i can introduce you directly to them. (Cause they near to you, when got problem you can hunt for their help).

Your chin look lovely, your cage look lovely, but your interior is not lovely to your chin. Remove the wool toy, your chin will soon chew it down and get stuck in the stomach.

Hi Chin,

Yes please I would love to get in touch with fellow chin owners here. I hope there are local forums in English as well as I am not proficient in Chinese.

As for the toys hahaha they were just for the picture. I have already taken them out. My gf will kill me if those toys get torn up. Thanks for the heads up though.

They can only speak Cantonese....

Spoken cantonese is fine. Is there a website? Thanks in advance.

I PM you.

I got him a wood house that should be okay right?
or still need the toy?

Yes, wood house is good choice. You can throw some apple chew stick, to let them play and chew.

Hi Chin,

I read that you keep your wonderful collection of chins in one room with the A/C on 24/7 and a little bit of the window open. As it's summer now here and with humidity levels very high (60-80%), I am following your footsteps and doing the same thing. I keep the A/C in my living room at 25C constantly in auto mode, with the door to the toilet slightly open and the exhaust fan on.

But now I have the "pet smell" that you get from owning a dog or cat in the apartment. I believe its from the urine odors. I use a generic pine shavings and everytime I see a stain i pick them up and throw them away or i mix them up with the rest of the shavings. I have also sprinkled baking soda on the bedding to help absorb the smell. I have activiated charcoal all over the place as well.

But whenever I return home from work, the smell is very evident once I open the door. I'm thinking of investing in an air purifier now. What are your tricks? Any tips?

You can offer more dust bath for your chin in this season.

You can use wood shaving, not pine shaving for your chin. You can use carefresh if you in HK, and the most cost effective , quality bedding for pet owner is chipsi classic. Dont put baking soda in your bedding, is toxic to chin when they eat it. If you want to cut down your urine smell ,us a toilet. Get a corner pan toilet with wire, put in the bedding there(include your baking soda this ime) then you can change it every day or every other day, you should be able to achieve 99% odor free.

Yes, a good air purifier is good investment, just need to clean it every 5 days or so, you can have very fresh air around your room.

Chipsi classic? Might go check that one out. OK so basically the smell if from the urine in the bedding, therefore I just have to take the wet bedding out everyday. Do you manage to control the smell as well?

Thanks for the tips!

yes, i clean every other days.

Welcome furby!!
so cute... HK should have more stuff for chins and oso more owners rite?

bro ang. sometimes my chins is chewing on the wood shave. is it safe a? are they just chewing or eating?
