Hello everybody! Awhile ago I was looking into neutering my male chinchillas and I swear I came across a thread that said how much a chinchilla should weigh before they're neutered but I can't seem to find it. Do you guys know how much they're supposed to weigh? Also I was hoping I could find...

Looks like my baby! Adorable! 😊

His 30 day quaurantine was a little over 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for sharing with me Lynn and the Chins. I enjoyed reading about your own personal experience. The reason Hank wasn't healing right was because there was some suture material left inside the wound. It was fixed and he is healing rapidly and cleanly. Thank you for your input. I am planning...

I read online that you should wait 6 weeks before introducing new chins (after spaying/neutering) but heard it was only 4. I will definitely wait longer because this seems to be very important. Can I still put there cages next to each other like I was going to or not?

Dr. Walker from bhms neutered Hank for me. All went well and he is recovering perfectly. They are ok to go together Friday. Thanks

I do have a good veterinarian to neuter him.

Yes he is in quarantine.

I know I need to keep them separated after the neutering. I rescued the chin because I wanted him to have a better life. I am not breeding them.

He hasn't eaten or drunk anything as far as I can tell. He has pooped but not as much as my other chin does. The previous owner said he has never been sick. She wasn't very careful with him and he fell into their pool. He is one giant mat and loosing some fur. I don't know if its because of the...

A perfect offer came up to get a male.. So I got him. You guys are worrying me. Will they be ok together? My mom thought the pet store lady was right. I hope Hank and Dustie will be ok together.. It sounds like it just depends on their personalities. I hope that's true. Thanks for replying.

I just got my second chinchilla yesterday. He seemed to be doing ok until I got him home and into his cage. Once he was in there he just sat on a shelf and hung his head over. I put his dust bath in there and put him in it last night. When I woke up this morning he hadn't moved yet. I tried to...

She was born with her wrist twisted around. it doesnt cause her pain but she cant use or control her paw. Her paw gets caught on things easily and she has a hard time untangling herself. Yes I live near Prescott. :)

I was going to get a cage friend for my female chinchilla and was planning to get another female. The only thing is the lady from pet smart said females don't get along as well as two males or a male and a female. She said females would probably end up fighting in the end and I'd have to...

I got a chinchilla for Christmas and absolutely adore her. She is 4-6 months old and really hyper. She is handicapped (her front right foot is backwards) so my mom got her for free. I was just wondering if she'd be happier with a chin friend. Is she too young? Will her foot stop her? Thanks...
