My daughter is presenting her Sci Fair Project on Chins reaction to music tomorrow. I wanted to have a Basic Care Sheet available to people that think they want to get on of those cute fluffy pets after seeing the project. I want them to know what they are getting into and if they do get one...

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...

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...

Checked the teeth on my new boys tonight and I am concerned about their bite. I compared them to my other ones and I think there is a difference. I would like opinion and guidance. I hope the pictures are good enough for you to see what is going on. To me it looks like both top and bottom are a...

I wanted to pass this information along so people are aware of possible PayPal fraud that comes via email. I got an email today stating that I was invoiced for a Skype account and it looked like an official PayPal Invoice. Skype is free unless you elect to use there phone service which I did...

This may seem like a dumb question and I want an answer so I can determine if my new Chins are possibly siblings. I have no real history on them as they were in 3 homes before me. I suppose it does not really matter if the are or are not but I am curious about it anyway. Is it possible to...

I just received a shipment from Sami Jami and I am very pleased. The wood toys I purchased are great...exceeded my expectations and she custom made them for me. My 2 boys jumped right in to chew on the new toy (see picture). I also ordered some toss toys and rose hip knots. I am very happy...

Last week I posted a thread and questions about my new Chins being under weight. I wanted to update you with their progress. Patagonia was 426 g and now is 430 g The perplexing thing is that Chili was 478 g last wk and now is 459 g. I really don't think that I got an accurate weight last...

I wanted to know if this is priming, fur slip, or fur chew. The fur does not seem to be missing and there is no bald patch...just choppy and tuffs coming out. Also, does not appear chewed but I don't have much experience with this.

I think I know what my Chins colors are but I wanted to double check. (As a side comment I know the cage they are has plastic shelves...this is just temporary until I go pick up my FN on Fri) The first 2 are my me newest boys. This is Chili: Is he a Beige( Homo or Hetero)? or Brown Velvet...

My chins seem to only like to chew the bark of wafers that I got from Ronda. I don't want them to go to waste but they are really staking up. I thought I could drill holes in them and make a hanging toy. I was wondering if any of you have some other ideas I can do with them. Also, is there...

I rescued 2 Chins 1 wk ago and I have concerns about their weight. They are eating pellets, hay, and occasional supplements. There droppings are the correct size, color, and amount. I switched them from the crap food they were on and their was only one day when they refused the new Mazuri...

I would like to sting hay cubes on a chain or wire to make a hanging toy. For those of you that have done this what is the best way to string hay cubes...they seem kind of fragile. Do you have to drill a hole or can the wire be inserted without a predrilled hole.

I rescued 2 Chins off of Craiglist in my local town of Saline. The owner was feeding really bad food that had corn, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, and pellets. To top that off the food looked like it had been sitting around for ages...it did not have a nice smell and the pellets looked old and...

We got our current Chins about 2 weeks ago...2 9 mo old males and they are very nicely bonded and have adjusted well to their new home. I am going to rescue 2 male chins just over a yr old. These are a bonded pair as well. Both pairs will be caged separately but I would like to put them in...

I read a post recently about offering a variety of hay types and not just one. What is the benifit of doing this? Is it ok to only feed one type?

Is the Ware Treat-K-Bob safe? It is a refillable toy and you can buy refill wood for it. The toy does not list the type of wood and says the dye is natural and safe. http://www.waremfginc.com/sa-detaildisplay.aspx?itemno=03001 What about these other chews from Ware? There is a bunch...

I have noticed that Blue Cloud really aggravates my asthma and allergies. It is so fine and the stuff gets in the air. I have switched the container for the Chin baths so it wont get in the air as much. Does anyone know if Blue Sparkle or another type of dust causes less reaction to sensitive...
