Just saw this (http://baltimore.craigslist.org/pet/4213781587.html) on my local craigslist and they definitely seem to know a lot about chinchillas. Especially with the chin townhouses, chin spins, etc, and the age of the chins, I wonder if this is an old member, perhaps from the CnQ days? I...

Thank you for sharing! Yeah, I have asthma too, and it does irritate it a bit (not as much as my allergies, though). I'll definitely give it a try! :))

Thank you! :))

Hello everyone! :)) Been a while! Question. I've always been allergic to the chinchilla dust, but now it's getting really, really bad. Every time I dust now, I have miserable allergies for days. I remember a long time ago I saw a dust substitute, but I can't remember what it was? I think it was...

That's awesome that you took her in! :)) Hopefully she does well for you. But as a side note, dried fruit is really bad for chinchillas (too much sugar!). I'd lay off of any types of treats for now until she gets settled in on a better diet, honestly.

Aww, your two are gorgeous! Such a cute picture! :))

Aww, he's adorable! :D

Thanks everyone! :)) And yeah, Kipper's whiskers are awesome. :cute:

Honestly, instead of all of these modifications, why don't you just get them a temp wire cage for them to grow out and then move them to the ferret nation? Seems like much less of a hassle...

haha, yeah, Charlie's ears are awesome! :D I can't BELIEVE how many ear freckles he's gotten! Or, as my sister calls them, ear splotches now. :rofl: Here he is back when I first got him in 2008. He didn't have a single one... Thanks guys! :)) Glad you like them! :cute: They're my world!

No, not always. Sometimes animals get so scared that they don't fight back. Some dogs will allow themselves to be beaten to a pulp, while never once laying a tooth on their attacker. They just shut down. And you can see the chinchilla struggling to get away at 2 different points in the video...

Aww, thank you! :cute:

Thank for helping to report it, everyone! And Riven, I can't believe someone would do that. :( What's wrong with people?! Hey, it's all good. I guess everyone's entitled to lose their cool every now and then. ;) Don't sweat it.

Anyone?

Finally, here my other baby girl Lilly. :)) She's my most recent chinchilla and she is almost 2 yrs old now. Well, that's everyone!
