    Pellets gone bad?

    On rabbit pellets it looks like a grayish slightly green powdery texture and i will kind of smell. Outside of that good fresh pellets should smell good (almost like hay) and have good color. I have ran across old food that does not have mold on it but has no to little smell and may look...

    Prevue Hendryx Cage?

    I found this Prevue Hendryx Cage on Craigslist for a good price. I have 2 Ferret Nations for my 4 Chins but want a back up cage. Does anyone use this for Chinchillas or have experience with using it with Chinchillas? Do you think it is big enough for 2 Chins. It is 33L X 22D X 37H on stand...

    FN142 on Craig's List...Rust?

    if the ramps where the deal breaker...Chins don't really need them and the ramps that come with are not safe anyway. If you don't have access to power washer the do it yourself car washes work great. I got a free FN but the reason it was free is it was disgusting...but after power wash it was...

    Kaytee Blue Sparkle Dust?

    I have decided to give Blue Sparkle a try to see if it does not aggravate my asthma as much as Blue Cloud. I ordered a small amount from a member with a recent wood/toy order. I checked with a local exotic pet store and they ordered Blue Sparkle for me. I don't want to have to pay shipping...

    Cuddle buddies/humping? Quarantine?

    Do chins act the same way towards pillow as they do a cuddle buddy? My guys have pillows and love to sit on them. Since, they have the pillow I was not sure that a cuddle buddy would be any different. Do they interact differently to a cuddle buddy then a pillow or is basically the same thing?

    So, I, uh...caught a mole?

    Moles do not carry rabies but they may bite so I would not handle it. If it is not injured or is a baby there is no need to have it go to Wildlife Rescue. Just put it back in a secluded spot close to where you found it. It will be just fine. I dug my a mole once in a pile of wood chips we...

    Is there a dental problem present

    I knew that an overbite is normal but when I compared my new chins to my other 2 it looked like there was a bit more of one and it seemed to be angled out a bit more. I just wondered if this could be due to the fact they were not given much to chew on before I rescued them. Maybe it is just a...

    Is there a dental problem present

    Ya, I did not think the picture would show what I was concerned about. It looks like the teeth are longer than they should be and the upper teeth are more buck tooth like. Also, one of the upper incisors is angled while the other is not (you can not see this in picture). I don't feel any...

    Is there a dental problem present

    Are these pictures not good enough to tell what is goine on. Any tips on getting better ones? Should I just take them to a chin vet to get a dental exam? Does anyone have recommendations for a good chin vet that is good with teeth near Ann Arbor, MI?
