    Dental filing during roadtrip? Or postpone it?

    I have a chin that needs dental filing. But we are moving within one week and will take him with us on a roadtrip. I am wondering whether I should find a vet on my roadtrip so that he can get treatment as soon as possible or wait until we arrive at our destination, West Virginia, which will be...

    Poor quality hay this summer/fall?

    I was doing my research on purchasing more hay but I find complaints on the quality of hay within recent months. For example, American Pet Diner, which used to be my chins favorite, has recently changed their package. In the new package, the hay seems to be shredded, with lots of dust and brown...

    Pawing when eating rosehips?

    I gave my chinchilla a whole rosehip last night and I noticed while eating he had some sort of pawing motion on the sides of his mouth. He didn't look like in pain (to me) because he continued to chew and finish the rosehip like nothing was bothering him. And he ate normally last night. But I'm...

VCA asks for ~$190, Westchester Veterinary Center & Cat Clinic asks for ~$160, Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital asks for ~$110 but there is another something...

    How to encourage chins to eat hay?

    My chin tends to lose interest in hay pretty quickly. I have tried Oxbow timothy, orchard, and oat, as well as APD 1cut and 2cut. When I first got APD, he was so happy with it that as long as he smelled it, he would stop anything, even sleeping, to eat it. But even given that, within one month...

    New chin with wet eye

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here and I'm feeling rather desperate at this moment. I bought this chin one month ago who was born 2012 Nov. Within the first week arriving home, he developed constipation and I brought him to the vet to have that cured. But recently (since last Friday), I...
