Are you looking for a pet for your children or for yourself and significant other?

Moche does it when he is yelling at the other boys that are out for play time and he is not.

So I MAY have to fumigate my house for bugs, not rodents. My question is how to ensure my chin room is chin safe afterwards. I am pretty sure I'm going to have to take their cages and all other things chin out, but what about the room? Meaning floors, walls and the few pieces of furniture that...

Thanks everyone!

So I have some old terra cotta flower pots out in the yard. They've been sitting for years, collecting dust, cobwebs and what not. My question is, after washing them in hot soapy water, they should be perfectly fine to put in the cages, shouldn't they? At least I'm guessing I should wash them...

My specialty AZchins cage is wonderful. I got one made that was bigger than most cages. I had two boys in it and they LOVED it. (I had hoped the other two boys I got could cohabitat...but nooooo) Since they all fight now, Shadow is the sole owner of the big cage. They don't have any problems...

Thank you for talking with me earlier Susan! It was great catching up! As for my little furball: He definitely seems fine. I still don't know how he managed to flip it. Maybe he moved it onto loose hay so it wobbled when he rolled....maybe he wanted to mess with my emotions.

There wasn't a whole lot of dust in there. maybe half a cup at the most. He's acting fine. Running amuck in the cage for a shredded wheat, just pulled all the hay out of the hay bin, so I think he's ok. There is no telling how long he was in there, two hours, 8 or 30 min. I will be watching...

I left the dust bowls in with the boys last night. Point is somehow Moche flipped his and got trapped under it. He was in a glass bowl that was semi sealed, because the dust piled up under him and blocked the opening, worst case scenario, from 9pm till 4pm. I got him out, checked for external...

:laughitup: That just made me laugh out loud at work...everyone is looking at me and I'm still laughing.

That is a good move, unless your chin can work a drill...Mine have their own room, but even so the little devils manage to knock down food bowls or shake cages till I shut the door. Lol my boyfriend can't sleep through the barking though. He wakes up everytime asking me WTF is that noise. It...

Lol do any of them actually get any dust or do they use each other's fur?

My cats sneak into the chin room on occasion, but I do my best to keep them out of there. I'm not worried about disease or attacks so much as the stress to the chinchillas. But I agree with anyone that says you never can tell. Teddy escaped one day while I was at school. I found him in shock...

He is adorable!!!

..umm...help???
