    CUbe vs Lose Hay teeth question

    Thanks parkers, thats what I meant, when they chip off its already kind dusty and ground so I can't think they are benefiting too much in back. Just the front. I just hope this doesn't cause problems sooner or later. They are given both right now and so far have had no problems chewing it...

    Palpating and possible pregnancy help

    Yes the one person explained they weren't trying but the other one was who I was referring to and who I got offended by. You are right it is hard to read tone, but its not hard to read accusations. I got defensive of that and feel I had the right to. Sorry to get off topic.. I was trying to...

    Palpating and possible pregnancy help

    I'm sorry but why would I not jump to the conclusion she is pregnant. 1, she was housed with a male, 2 she is huge and hard, 3 I felt movement over three times now with her sitting dead still. She IS pregnant. There is no doubt. I only got defensive when people started acting like I was some...

    Palpating and possible pregnancy help

    Hi Becky... I don't mean nesting like a bird or a hamster, but the last chin I had here who gave birth we gave a box and paper towels to and she tore them up real fast and made a big next in the corner. I only have to go by so I figured I would do the same for this one. Now I know why she isn't...

    Here is a picture of her and her daughter. Was taken the same hour I took that other pic. She isn't just laying around lethargic she hops around and all, I just took a shot of that cause she looks so sweet and she let me pet her head and closed her eyes cause she liked it. She LOVES being pet.

    She is not sick. I hate to get an attitude but if you read any of the original post you would know she is housed with her 6 month old daughter whos poo that is. Second she eats and drinks normally as I already stated as does the baby. She is an extremely sweet chinchilla as is the male who I...

    Palpating and possible pregnancy help

    I am not "messing" with her. I felt around once when I thought MAYBE she was when I was told there is no way. Now that I think she actually is I havent done anything but let her sit in my hands and felt her belly that way and came here to ask. Stop acting as is I am torturing this poor girl. I...

    Palpating and possible pregnancy help

    This vet is incredible. He is an exotic specialist and is very good with chins, recommends a good diet unlike most vets and is very experienced with chins and other small exotics. He has done 2 surgeries for us as well. I consider him a life saver but I understand most vets don't know what the...

    Palpating and possible pregnancy help

    Sorry didn't mean to ignore your question. The cage she is in now is about 18 high I believe? I don't know where the tape is right now. And the spacing is small so they can't fit through. Trust me the girl who runs the rescue has been doin it for years and is giving me more supplies for her...

    Palpating and possible pregnancy help

    The vet explained how soft to do it and not to do it and the general area. So you know I am not pushing hard at all I use two fingers flat and hold it semi firm on the area , not poking around. Everything was explained, but at the time it was with a chin we already knew was pregnant after he...
