This morning i noticed a couple of holes on my fleece liner that i use to cover up my plastic pan. They have never done this before so i m wondering if i have to remove all the fleece or were they just trying to get the dust that fell throught the fleece onto the pan?

Yeah I thought about that when I bought it but all the other bags were brown and yellowish and dry looking. The bag I bought actually looked really good and figured if one chinchilla has soft poop then the other should too since they eat the same hay. What should I do to try to firm up their poop?

I'm not sure about the pellets but the breeder buys her hay from kmshayloft. I'll email her today and find out though about the pellets. I don't feed them treats and I use distilled water.

Hi I have the same problem with my chins. My hay and pellets came from the breeder and had no problem until I ran out of hay. I bought a 2 lb bag of oxbow Timothy and now their stools are getting smushed. I was gonna order their old hay once I started running out of oxbow. What should I do?

Ok thanks so much. I am taking Sophie to the vet tomorrow for a checkup so I'll be sure to know the gender. I'm glad to hear it may not be serious.

Hi i was wondering what the best way to introduce two chins is. They are both 4 month old females and they are sisters. I brought home sophie first as we weren't sure if we could handle two but ended going back to the breeder 2 weeks later to get her sister sadie. They both lived in the same...

Okay well I'm glad to hear she's not sick. I will continue to keep an eye on her nonetheless. Also how long do chinchillas sleep on an average day?

haha that sounds so funny but i did look around the cage and there were only a couple that i probably missed from the last cleaning. I dont know if my chin feels like nighttime is poo time cause when im in bed all i hear is her running on her silver surfer and the sound of poo spinning with her.

So today as i was cleaning sophie's cage i noticed the poop scattered everywhere which reassured me she was a healthy chin. I spent about an hour removing every single poop. After checking on her again in about a half hour i noticed there was at the most 5 poops. she has been eating and drinking...

Can you still buy the wheels from their website?

Today as I was cleaning my chin's cage she jumped out into the room. Her chin proof room has faulty pipes so we moved her into my room. I didn't plan to take her out because it is unsafe but she escaped and ran under the bed. There are pipes and rails down there and before I could do anything I...

What's the best place to buy chinchilla safe hanging toys and toy parts? Thanks so much :)

yea ive looked on qualitycage.com, martinscages.com, and they have really nice baby cages but they have very small doors and the spacing is too small to interact with them through the cage. I really like the large double doors that come with some ferret cages as it would make cleaning and...

Yea i definitely dont want her escaping or hurting herself. Thanks for the advice.

hey i didn't think of that. next time i go to home depot i'll have a look around. How long are you going to use the hardware cloth?
