Day one finding the little guys eye. I noticed that it hasnt worsened at all or changed. I just changed his fleece over to clean fresh fleece and let him run around the room to see how his activity level was and he still bouncing around and chewing up things so dont see him worsening. But all...
Before i start i just want to say i did give him a dust bath recently but i did notice some gunk on his eye. I dont see any swelling of any sorts, i also did show my mom because she noticed his hair around the eye looked a little funny. But he lets me touch it without a problem could it be a...
I forgot to say that eating habits havent changed, no behavior change, he still leaps onto my shoulder like if nothing is wrong, and he plays normally without a problem
I just noticed one of my chins calluses were a bit swollen and red, and dry and cracked with small scabs. I touched to see if it was warm to the touch and it wasnt warm. Im kinda of worried that this can be serious and if it is bumble foot i would not want the infection to go to his bones or...
All 3 are in one But the 2 floors are blocked off and the new chinchilla was taken to the vet a week and a half ago and is in perfect health. The man took both parents and 3 babies to get checked up. If that didnt happen then i most likely would have bought another cage one way or another but...
Today i adopted a 8 month old ebony chinchilla and since i have 2 other chinchillas (all 3 are boys) i dont have money for another cage i heard if you disinfect and wash everything thats fleece the strong smells can go away. But im afraid of using bleach since i had a scare awhile back when my...

Oh i frogot to say i checked not to long ago and the redness has gone away just a little bit but ill be here all day until 7 and wont be back until tomorrow. So my dad will be checking his nose out a couple of times.
I woke up 2 at night to check and rub his nose for any discharge luckly nothing bad. But the scratches look like tgere going to scab up now. Hes perfectly fine very active. Just to be safe i wont give him a dust bath until i see it heal up. Btw is ther any antiseptic they sell to prevent infection?
I just came home and noticed the chins cage was open. I think my brother let them out by accident. but when I picked up my chin that escaped idk if I scratched his nose or if he had the scratch on it and I didn't see. he has a minor scratch on the bottom left of his nose. it is not bleeding or...

before i bring the hedgie home i have a major concern on warmth. since my room is below 72 degrees during the day and 61 degrees at night in my room (the hedgie will be in my room) how would i keep him warm? i've talked to my dad about...
ok this was just about 4 minutes ago and one of my chinchillas ran down to the bottom ledge and they do have like sensitive caluses on there feet but im thinking he may have poked himself there and he made like a whining like noise and I check all over and theres no bleeding or nothing like...
