So for the past few days my 3 year old female chin has been eating VERY little of her food. She'll eat treats (shredded wheat) and occasionally she'll grab a hay cube, but she won't eat a whole lot of her normal food, Oxbow Chinchilla. So twice a day I have been giving her lifeline to see if...

No I still haven't gotten a response from her but I will look at the links you guys have provided. thank you so much!

My hedgehog Andy is over weight, I have put him on a diet for the last 6 months, bought him a new better wheel (Carolina storm), but he still hasn't lost much (if any) weight. His skin looks a lot better (had an issue with dryness), I am feeding him Chicken Noodle soup for the cat lovers soul...

thanks guys!

So I finally decided on a carrier to get and I am going to get the JP 4 hole shown here http://www.geocities.com/chinchilla_fancier/Chinchilla_Supplies.html but I don't know how! So if anyone can help me with this that'd be great! I click on the picture but it just enlarges it, and I can't find...

As hurricane season is blooming, I am realizing my current carriers will NOT do. I am considering on buying a multiple hole carrier as I have 3 chins and 1 hedgie. I was curious if the JP, Ryerson, or QC cages offer any cracks for them to "touch noses" as this could cause issues with fighting...

This helped so much! Her eye looked fantastic after about 2-3 days. She doesn't really care for the taste of the Trimethoprim sulfa but she doesn't completely resist it. In the beginning I used 99.5% purified eye wash solution (not for contacts) and I just felt terrible rinsing the eye and then...

So my girl kanga has had white discharge since Monday night. I took her to the vets Tuesday afternoon, as her eye had completely shut. The vet did an eye stain and saw no scratches but the bottom eye lid was a little swollen, she flushed the eye with saline and gave us some drops (neomycin...

We have no flowers in the house and all liners are washed in organic detergent with no softener. I have 2 other chinchillas and they aren't having any issues, they are separated from the sick one (they don't get along very well yet).

So I have never heard a chinchilla sneeze until today (I think its a sneeze?). My chinchilla had an eye irritation last night so I took her to the vets today and got eye drops. Her eye is just irritated, not poked or infected. After all this I noticed her "puffing". Maybe I hadn't noticed this...

Thank you so much my chinchilla is the same way!

I am curious if I am hand feeding my chinchilla right I looked at videos on youtube but all the chinchillas were very cooperative unlike mine. She has a slight infection and is on medication but still ops not to eat. I took her to the vet and they did do a quick dental exam (she was...

I hope I am putting this in the right section (the supplies half). If not sorry :confused3: I would also like to apologize ahead of time if there is already a forum for this. Anyways! I live in Florida, and hurricanes are a major concern and common worry. Every year the season begins right when...

Hello, I am trying to bond my 3 year old female with my 2 8 month old females. They are all about the same size. Before combining them I had them side by side for about a week. I saw no aggression. So then I put them in a neutral location (the play pin) and they all acted fine. Then I moved to...

I just went to the vet for this today in fact! My hedgehog doesn't scratch but he does have dry skin and quills falling out. It can be caused by mites but it can also be a fungal issue or nutritional. Take them to a vet! I paid about $130 total for sedation, full physical, nail clipping and then...

So since PPBN closed down, I haven't found a store that I completely love. Every time I look up stores I end up with petsmart or petco and I don't wanna purchase from them. I'm looking for wood chews, pumice stones, toys, fleece items, you know the things PPBN had! So where do you guys shop for...

My girl does the same thing, I've posted something about this before no one mention them chewing through the bars. I blow in my girls face when she does it and she hates when I do that. I believe its just something female chinchillas like to do. Maybe try to cover that area with fleece, or wood...

well I don't see him itching, ever. So I will try the flax seed oil, if that doesn't help then I will go to my vet. I already use liners, I love them. If his skin doesn't improve I will definitely go to my vet.

I read somewhere that this can mean mites, but I do not see any nor does he itch all the time. He also has dry skin and when I clean his fleece bedding I tend to find about 2-4 quills that have fallen out, does this sound like mites? I try to treat the dry skin with oatmeal baths but they never...
