How did someone pee in the toilet and not flush it? Did they not see that there were loose chinchillas in the bathroom? That must have been quite the party indeed....

Then is the general consensus on this board is to not trim chinchilla fur? I pondered at that thought when I was contemplating the heat of the upcoming summer months - not to completely shave off his fur, just to trim it so it wouldn't be so long and insulating... Is that inhumane?

Flying saucer!

My chin started chewing until I realized it was because I had him in the living room, where my boyfriend and I always are. I realized it was stressing him to have us always in the room, it made it difficult for him to sleep. Is your cage in a high-traffic area?

Holy crap 1500 cages. How do you sleep?

:cry3:

Yeah obviously I found this because I took in a chinchilla whose owner couldn't care for it anymore, so I went online to figure out what I had to do with this new little pet I acquired. And obviously you know there is a group for for hedgehogs/pigs/cows/dogs because you're in that industry. It's...

Also I don't appreciate being called ignorant, or other non-chichillas owners being called ignorant, because I 'made no effort'. I had no reason to make an effort because I didn't know there was an effort to be made.

Staleomach you're misunderstanding me. Firstly, I've never once criticized anything about ranchers. Secondly, how am I going to go to a rancher to ask questions if I don't even know they exist? As for the magazines you mention, how am I going to know about these magazines if I don't asssociate...

turtle - amphibian tortoise - land animal. Notice the differences in the legs / fins.

Yeah but we know dog breeders exist because Animal Planet has a soft spot for the Eukanuba Championship. What is Animal Planet going to do with a chinchilla segment? Not much. Chinchillas are exotic. Again, this is why I called it underground, since we hear nothing about it. Note: yeah peta sucks.

AAHHHH that's just SO CUTE! How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful, open area, surrounded by animals and nature!

Underground = generic population has no idea it exists. I'll be the first to admit I didn't even know chinchilla pelting existed. Honestly I thought that was illegal. I didn't even know there were large scale chinchilla breeders that owned 100+ chins. I didn't even know there were high quality...

Yeah I considered that also. Since most pet chins have inferior genetic makeup, it stands to assume that they would need a little more care than the high quality chins that come out of breeders or owners. Pet store chins would naturally be more predisposed to health issues, and therefore would...

I for one think that your setup is very nice and your chinchillas are very lucky :)

oooo I like it!

I dont see how this set up is any more over crowded than owning runs or colonies. The only difference I see here is the installation of hammocks and wheels. She already agreed that she can take the wheels off. What else seems to be the problem?

Oooo blue diamond, that sounds fancy. I should have my boyfriend get me that as our engagement present. :P

Wow I didn't know this phenomenom existed in rats! I have to say as someone who has no experience in rats, it's a little scary! He looks like he's about to pop!
