I did a lot of research on chins before I purchased my little guy. After reading many articles and looking at many sites, I decided that I wanted him to be a pleasant addition to our family. Many people have said that  chins don't really like to be stroked like a dog or cat. My furball must be the exception then, he loves it. He also likes to be rubbed on his neck and under his chin. If I do this long enough , he will cock his head and almost fall over, this is so funny. I looked at the pet stores for a cage and looked at cages that other people have made. Based on what I had seen, the cost of a cage was outrageous and I knew that I could build him a much more suitable home. I have a cage page with pics of the cage and wheel.
