Most people say 6-8 weeks between stretches, but that's a very long time. I got pierced w/ a 10 needle and sized up to an 8 the next day. A week later, sized up to a 4 from the 8, 3 weeks later went to a 2, the next day, went to a 0, then just sized up 2 weeks later to a 00. It's been 6 weeks 6 days and I've sized up 6 times with no worries, and the only one that hurt was the 8 to the 4. It's all really how long it takes your ears to heal. My ears healed ridiculously fast. Just make sure once you pass 4 to use a taper. When I stretched my 8's to 4's, I just shoved the plugs in and that was significantly more painful than anything else I've done with my ears. And when removing tapers and replacing them with plugs, it hurts more than the actual stretching with the taper, so keep that in mind when you're sizing up. If it hurts a lot when you put the taper in, leave it in for 2 days before putting your plugs in.

What age do chihuahuas ears stand up?

CHIHUAHUASi own two chihuahuas, and when i got the first one, she came with her ears up, but she was a couple of months old, the second one's ears came up after a couple of weeks of having him, so i am assuming that between the first couple of weeks or months, the dogs ears should come up.Your chi's ears will stand up when the cartlidge in it's ears has strengthened. You may notice that at times it's ears will be up then they'll flop down a little while later...that is normal. Your chi's ears should be fully up when it's reached a couple of months old.


It is okay to gauge your ears before they are all the way healed?
