Its been a while since I've posted a picture of Emmy so here are some updated pics :)) First day we got her when she was 8 weeks old (boyfriend is holding her) Her favorite ledge (now almost 8 months old!) Taking a piece of crushed rose hip

I'm so excited to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter tomorrow!! I was just at Universal Orlando the other week and went to see the HP part of the theme park four days in a row! I also bought some replica wands while i was there too lol any other HP fans out there??

Emmy(5 months old) made a high pitched cough sound today after I finished cleaning her cage..any idea what this could mean? She only did it once so I don't know what to make of it. It didn't sound like any of the sounds from that chinchilla sound website. I'm worried and hoping that it's not a...

So, Ruby is in a FN 141 with her 2 daughters Jade and Amber (10 weeks old) and I noticed that Ruby and Jade's whiskers have been chewed and there's only about an inch or so left. I checked Amber's whiskers and hers are perfectly fine which makes me think she's chewing both her mom and sisters...

I have Ruby with her two 7 week old kits in a FN 141 and the kits keep climbing to the very top of the cage and jumping down/wall surfing. I'm afraid one of them is going to land wrong and break a leg! Is there anything I can do to stop them from doing this?? Are they old enough to have ledges...

I know chins under 6 months aren't supposed to have treats but does the Ryerson's supplement count as a treat? I'm unsure because it's a supplement and it has the oats in it. I have 2 chins that are almost 7 weeks old and was wondering if it was okay to let them have it.

This is Emmy my 11 week old black velvet. I got her 3 weeks ago from a local breeder. She is currently in quarantine right now from my other chins. I hope to someday introduce them all once Ruby's kits are fully weaned. *fingers crossed* She loves having playtime in the bathroom (chin-proofed of...

Here are Ruby's month old kits Jade and Amber (born 3/11). Ruby is a hetero beige and the male chin's color is unknown (I got her when she was unknowingly pregnant). Can someone tell me what color they are? I am very curious to see if they get darker or lighter as they get older. Any guesses on...

Jade and Amber are about 3 1/2 weeks old and have not yet learned to take dust baths..I've tried to get them to watch Ruby and see if they can learn by watching her but they are very uninterested in it. I set them inside the dust house and they just jump right out. I have resorted to just...

I'm thinking about ordering the 10 lb bag of the Ryerson's supplement and there is no way that I could go through all that with only 4 chins (2 of whom are still kits). It's much cheaper to buy the 10 lb bag rather than buy each pound separately. I live in southeastern PA so if anyone closeby...

I want to switch Ruby from Mazuri to either Manna Pro or PRCS. However, she is currently nursing her 2 week old kits. So, is it alright to transition her while she is still nursing or should I wait until the kits are weaned? I don't know if it will affect her milk production or anything else so...

I'm about to make a fleece liner for someone who has a critter nation 162 and I'm unsure of the size of the cutout. Is it in the same position and size of the FN 142??

Ruby had 2 kits last Friday and I moved her from a FN142 to a FN141. I did this for the safety of her kits being that it's a smaller cage. Ruby hates her new cage. She is digging in the corners, chewing the bars, and climbing up the walls (there are no ledges in this cage) and jumping down which...

I think that Ruby's previous owner had her live with a male cagemate whom I believe impregnated her. I'm now nervous that she was allowed to be bred back. She just delivered 2 kits on Friday. Is there a possibility that she may be pregnant with more kits due at a later date? Can somebody...

I read that the diet for a pregnant chin should remain the same but is this the case with a nursing chin? Ruby just had 2 kits on Friday and I was wondering how her diet should be. Right now, I have her Mazuri feed, the JAGS formula (goat milk replacer, crushed Mazuri, and 50/50 mixture of dry...

I am freaking out! I wasn't sure if she was pregnant, and if she was, I didn't know that she would have kits this soon! She was baby-free last night and I just found 2 light beige-ish colored kits in her cage! They are alive and well! I am afraid to move them to a baby safe cage. Will Ruby bite...

I just happened to be "window" shopping on quality cages website and saw that the Chin Spin 15" went up in price! It is currently $70 rather than the previous $63. This stinks...eventually, when chinny number two (I'm getting her next week) reaches her 6 month mark, I will have to buy another...

I picked up a used FN 141 off CL and when my boyfriend and I were bringing it inside, one of the wheels broke...Can I get a set of wheels at Lowes or Home Depot? Which ones do I need?

Okay, as some of you may know, I got Ruby off CL about 3 weeks ago. Her previous owner also had a male chinchilla who I believe was allowed to play/come in contact with Ruby (I was given photos of her with a cagemate). So right off the bat, I was a little nervous that she could've gotten...

We have had Ruby for about 2 weeks now and have been ordering stuff nonstop to decorate her FN142. She is so happy now she's jumping from ledge to ledge, laying in her hammock, and investigating all the new changes to her house. Here are the results!! Top Level: Bottom Level: Falling...
