Hi- I recently rescued a trio of chin siblings, 2 females and one male (fixed) who had grown up together for all of their 2 or so years and are very bonded and sweet. They have been with me for over a months and seem to especially love the huge Martin's cage I got for them...I adore them. My question is that I have noticed the occasional squabble that one or 2 get into---usually a rustle and little squak----not often, but I've seen it around the food bowl once. Like any siblings, is this normal? Or should I put a second food dish in the house (the one they have is very large and I have seen them all around it many times. Also, as their individual personalities emerge, I see that one of the females is definately more shy than the others, and the male is the most affectionate/curious. Any comments on that will be appreciated, too:) Steph (and Thelma and Louise and Harvey)
