let me add

The reason I ask is because I know my chin is in heat...this is the second time. When she is, she acts strange ..she tries to lay on top of her wheel which scares me that she is going to get stuck between the wheel and the cage. She also rolls as if she is taking a bath even though she isn't. She definitely does not seem herself at all. Does anyone else experience anything like this?
Thanks Again

I don't think there are any behavioral signs all females exhibit. Each female will behave differently. That's what makes chins so endearing. No two are alike.

The only way to tell for certain if a chin is in heat is to look at their vaginal area. If it is open then the chin is in heat.
