My boy chin was in the lower part of my divided FN. He died a sudden death--most likely heart attack from what vet says--but his sister above has been examined and is healthy. I obviously have to clean my male's cage (part) out for a future chin. Since I don't know what caused his death, I want...

:broken: You came into our lives as (what we were told) was a little baby girl. You came with your sister who--truth be told was whom I'd seen first and wanted. But I learned you two came as a pair, which was just fine with me. I soon realized you were a boy---it explained why none of the girlie...

I know eventually we will get another chin--I can't bear the bottom level to stay empty forever. :(-- and of course need to quarantine. I purchased two of these cages as portables/emergencies, and they've held up quite well: http://bassequipment.com/Cages/Carrying+Cages+Etc/default.aspx Do you...

Later tonight we're supposed to have severe weather (tornadoes), so I was preparing by putting my chins in their carriers and then putting them back inside their big cage (just to be on the safe side). My 1 yr old Mosaic male chin--Mr. Man--has always given me a hard time when I've gotten him...

Took me awhile, but I finally got some proud pics of my babies. The cage essentials are much thanks to Brittany, TwilightChinchillas, Whimsy, Myt, FuzziesKingdom, Abednara, SamiJami...and if I've forgotten anyone, I apologize and please raise your hand! Sappho, not long after I got her--4...

It's not as informative, but does feature several sounds that actually work for me. http://www.soundboard.com/sb/Chinchilla_Sounds.aspx

I saw this and wondered if it would be ok for my chins (when they're old enough) to be let out for some playtime. It doesn't come with a roof, but I would think there'd be a way to do some modifications? :hmm: Anyway here's the link: http://huntsville.craigslist.org/pet/2449417378.html

I found some threads regarding the site's stone perches and houses, etc. But I was wondering if any of you have ordered toys from them? I am in love with this...

Both of my rats have mites. I took them to the vet a couple weeks ago and was given an injection of ivermectin (sp?), and that was only to last a week until I saw her again. It helped, and we've been changing their bedding, but they still have them...although not to the degree that they did...

I hope that all of you are okay, and have not accrued any damage to your houses/properties. Sending good thoughts to you and your loved ones. :hug:

I noticed last night that my male chin has little red/brown spots on his whiskers...they're tiny spots. I have no idea where they could have come from; only things in his cage are pellets and hay (besides fleece and marble chillers). I've been feeding him Pet Pectillin, but that's white. His...

I'm looking into buying a hand-held vaccum cleaner for the quick runs through and around my chins' cage (hay/poop/etc.). We have a standard-size Dirt Devil, but it's a pain to lug around, and I like Shop Vacs but they're too bulky (I simply don't have the space for it in the room where my chins...

I have a 40lb bag of Standlee Cubed Timothy hay that came with my chins (which I got in early April). I think about a third of the bag has been used (some was eaten before I adopted them), and as I've read on here, this hay will last FORever. I don't know how much to keep for my chins (I have...

One of my rats is having a rough time with an URI, and I read on the goosemoose forum that garlic can help with the recovery (he's already on an antibiotic). Anybody know where to buy garlic gels, or cloves? CVS, Walmart, Publix, etc. ??

I am a rat owner as well, and just now finding rat forums.... :thinking2: I've seen a few listed on this forum.... ratsrule.com and goosemoose.com. I've also found ratforum.com. Anyone know which one is best (I'd rather not be on a jillion different pet forums if I can help it)? Thanks!!!

I'm in Alabama, and the state has been hit very hard with tornadoes all day. As of right now most of Northern Alabama has no power. Thankfully my family does, and none of our properties accrued any damage. Unfortunately that cannot be said for my town as a whole, and many other neighboring...

:earth:

My little ones have been whittling away at some of their toys (to the point that a few have pointy corners...is this harmful? or will they whittle it down eventually?), and others a little bit here and there. Do you leave them in there until they're mostly gone? Add new ones every few days...

http://huntsville.craigslist.org/atq/2304767617.html Needing more than one (since I have a boy and girl), so looking to get cheap ones close by (if possible).

My male boy (still haven't gotten a name that fits him) had his right ear down last night for awhile, pretty much all the time....even while sleeping. When I went to bed last night, his ear was back up to normal. Then today, the other ear was down, as in staying down. He does seem to be a...
