Oh, are they ever! The poos were a little soft for a couple days, but they are firming back up again.

You have really saved him. He looks infinitely better! He is so lucky to ahve found you. As far as the humping, well a humping chin must be a happy chin.

I love that your chins are spoiled enough to get the bedroom! That is too funny.I hope they appreciate their space :)

Our two new kits were very uneven in size from the start. Now within the course of a couple days they are only 5 grams apart instead of 20grams apart. Is it normal for a kit to have a huge jump in weight gain to even out? Should this gain make me concerned? Here is a chart on their weights to...

I have used Ocean State Veterinary Services in Eat Greenwich RI,which would be maybe an hour- an hour and a half for you. They offer round-the-clock emergency care, and exotic care. When my chinchilla suffered a prolapsed rectum I drove about an hour to get there myself (It was a little less...

Chinchillas have their own personalities and like people vary greatly in these personalities. Some chins are more content to be held, while other wont tolerate it at all, and then everything in between. I think that generally a chin will become more tolerant of being held if you do it regularly...

I used to be heavily into rubber stamping! I fell in love with hedgies through rubber stamps actually, and have quite a few hedgehog stamps. I have NEVER seen chinchillas stamps though, and since that is what we have, that's pretty exciting!

The tail was completely fine when she was born, and in fact up until today. I went to check on them and noticed the tail was about half the length and bloody at the end. I didn't know if Momma would mess with it if I didn't bandage it, but I will remove the bandage, because I certainly dont...

I have been reading through so many posts and have come across nothing indicating if my baby chins should be having super soft poos. They have been mushy for at least 3-4 days at this point. Also, one of the babies has severed her tail. I can not seem to find the other piece of it and have...

I had a chin who was very small like that as well. She was a rescue and she came with a female cagemate who was double her size. So when we first got her we had them seperated for a few hours a day in hopes that she would bulk up. She didn't. She ended up suffering a prolapsed rectum,which was...

I went to pet smart and couldn't find it, but then again the cage section was wiped out, like maybe half of the stock as normal. The baby-proofing we did is working out well. Both chins seem to be doing very well. The beige is the bigger of the two, and was 50g the morning after I found them.She...

I agree with Luci, keeping a piece of the tree or using those seeds to plant a new one sounds like a beautiful idea. The idea of a new beginning or rebirth is a sign that your chins will forever be with you.

We thoroughly checked the rooms and no other kits are around. We baby proofed the cage today and had a super fiasco in the process. Mom escaped from the bottom portion of the cage while we were baby proofing the top half. As we were chasing her around like mad trying to get her back in the cage...

the bar spacing is about 1" tall with gaps of about 3" width wize, so I will wrap something around the bars tonight. I actually totally knew he/she was a beige. We used to have a violet,but she passed away and I was just writing it up quick and wrote violet. The babies literally look like...
