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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

So my new chinchillas are chewers and I discovered they chewed a whole in their bottle a while back. I ran to petsmart and of course they didn't have a glass one, I had to get a water bottle so I got a plastic one. I was trying to find a way to prevent the chinchillas from chewing the bottle and...

So I'm stuck between a chin spin and a flying saucer (the metal one), I own 3 chinchillas and it seems 2 know how to use it but only one likes the wheel. I have my chinchillas in my bedroom, I'm a pretty deep sleeper but I would still prefer a quieter wheel. I love the fact that the saucer is...

One of my chins keep gnawing on my Ferret Nation Cage bars. The other female I have does the same but she just kinda rests her teeth on the bars, not full blown "I'm gonna chew these bars till I get out" like my other female. Is this okay? Or should I wipe the bars with white vinegar so she...

So I have already made (anti-pill)fleece liners for my FN but I noticed people have tiled their cages to make it cooler for the chinchilla. What are the pros and cons to this? Or is it better to stick with fleece? Or would it still be cooler to have the fleece liner on top of the tile? Also...

I hope I am putting this is in the appropriate section! I live in Florida and we have more days that are hot than cool. I already have my A/C on a decent setting for chinchillas but at times my room gets so warm. I have 2 fans always on full blast, black out curtains and blinds, my chinchillas...
