I am actually so depressed about this. She was my favorite chinch, my first chinch. What upsets me most is that I know the reason she died was because of the care she received while at the pet store. I had not started working their yet and when I did, I noticed the kennel tech did not feed...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm buying the cage on Saturday and hopefully the pine too! I'm hoping my chinchillas will be a lot happier now. I plan to install some really fun little things in there. Bridge, many jumping shelves, huts, chinchilla beds, tunnels, tents, hammocks. I love...

So I have found a cage for sale. It is approximatley 6 and some feet tall and about 4 feet wide on all sides. It is all wire. I will adjust the bottom so the tray will be on top of the wire flooring. But the only thing I'm worried about is the noise of it. Is it going to incredibly noisy...

I have a lot of debt right now due to unfortunate circumstances. I'm very stressed and I have been working a lot during the days and nights. However, with my new job I'm not making enough money to make even a tiny dent in anything. So I'm going to have to get a second job. BUT, now with a...

Everything is going really well with them. They are very happy and very good with eachother, but since I put them together. . .I find that they don't like me as much. How do I bond with my two chinchillas? Or is it just a lost cause now.

Hello everyone! Thanks for the advice! I removed the wheel and made it into a "Hay" play area. So there is so much hay for them to eat in a fun way. Also put some chew blocks there. They seem to be liking it. I think you guys are right, because the cage is so big. ..they should be okay. I also...

:hmm:I have a problem! So, I have one of these wheels http://media.lunch.com/d/d7/436500.jpg?1 and one of these wheels http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qubjlhh6vqg/S3UP7XUDJuI/AAAAAAAAAMk/o9pcZ6nxlIo/s400/51Q4JnOUwuL._SS500_.jpg As everyone knows, and I know. These are both unsafe wheels for...

I just recently finished my chinchilla on critical care and was confused as you. Here is my question and all that answered it. It was so helpful! Also, my chinchilla was a fighter, now I just have to say "Chinch, medicine" and she comes to the cage and eats her medicine...

She is pooping really well again, which is what I forgot to write. And she's definitely not moving like that. I called the vet today and told them about my worries, and they said that she sounds okay. They told me to continue the medication and probiotics and then take her back for a check up. I...

Stasis is what she was diagnosed with. THe good news, is that he is eating, and her stomach feels squishy. She also is very active, running on her wheel at night and during play time. Jumping around being curious. I will call the vet tomorrow. They are closed today. . .stupid vet. She has been...

I'm having an increasingly hard time trying to figure this out. She's always looked really round, so physically she doesn't look different. When I rub her belly she's not . . .jerking away. But now she's making whimper like squeaks, and I think it might be bloat? I don't know what to do!! How do...

Hello guys, The cage is about 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide. It's made out of powder coated metal. The bottom is plastic, but my chinch can't reach so, so it's safe. Thanks for the suggestions

How do you guys go about doing this? Any tips? It's about time to give my chinchilla cage a really good scrubbing.

Good news! She has big hard poops again!!! AND even better, she hate some of her food today. I'm so freaking happy! Now I'll cut down the feeding a bit. Thanks for all your advice, it has made me feel better about this whole experience

Sorry about all the questions, but I'm just really worried and really stressed. She has been very VERY feisty when it comes to hand feeding. And she keeps twisting and turning, I keep a firm grip on her but It worries me when she just start spazzing and twisting to get out of the chinchilla...
