I wouldn't use one. My grandma had one for her dog, and when I was at her house I wanted to see how it worked (stupid) so we put it very close to my ear and it gave me the worst stinging feeling in my head (it felt like a bee stung the inside of my ear). People thought I was crazy but my...

I love the name Nietzsche! I'm a bit of a philosophy nut :) Nice cage!

Thanks! It will work out okay because my chins live in my bedroom, ao I will always be close! I am soo excited, my first 3 chins were all adopted and two of them hate everything! My other chin lived with other chins before I got her, and she has always been kinda sad because my other two just...

My chins have been getting along really well. We have put them in the same cage for two days (completely supervised) and they are cuddling and grooming eachother and snuggling, its adorable. Anyway I was just wondering how long I should let this go on superized, and when I can leave them...

So we got a new chinchilla, Nanners, about 2 months ago, and both the petstore (which I know isnt that reliable) and the vet said she was female. Her and my other chin sapphire had play time together and today they went in a cage together and were grooming eachother, and cuddling. But my...

Thank you! I think she is eating hay. I am going to try to measure her food to see exactly how much she eats.

So I just got another chin and she was fed one of those mixed, unhealthy chinchilla foods (Prestige Chinchilla Nature). I started to feed her Oxbow right away because I know that food is terrible and all my other chins are on Oxbow. But she isn't eating it. I have Critical Care on hand, should I...

Thanks everyone! :)

I wan't sure where to post this.. I have been a member for a while but have yet to post pictures of all 3 of my girls...so here they are! The first chin is Sapphire (Saphers). She is very anti-social, and mostly keeps to herself (except she has no problem rudely grabbing her precious rosehips...

I tried the water bath and it worked great, thank you so much :) The vet gave me a medicine for her feet and suggested I line the bottem and ledges of her cage with fleece to give her feet a break. I'm having x-rays done early next week so I'll know then what is causing it.

She has an appointment tomorrow.

There is just a tiny greenish spot just below her tail, you cannot really see it in any of the photos, I'll try to get a better one. I have her on aspen pine bedding and she has all metal ledges. I tried her on wooden ledges but she stained them way to quickly and no amount of sanding could fix...

I'll try the water bath tonight. I'm going to make her an appointment and I'll make sure I ask for x-rays. Here are some pictures of her. I had wiped her down just 2 days before and now she is like this again. It also looks like it is hurting her feet too.

I'm going to make her an appointment to see the vet. I'll ask about the urethral cone and leaking and see what I can do. And the vet said that there was a lot of urine scalding and that she was probably in a lot of pain. I agree completely that it must be more than spraying and I'm definitally...

I know I have posted this before but it is getting worse and nothing is working. My chinchilla Olivia, due to her accessive urine spraying, always has pee stains all over her stomach. She has gone to the vet 3 times to get shaved (and the gave me a cream to put on to relive the pain). I've tried...
