Okay, their cage isn't completely done. But I replaced the plastic shelves with wood ledges (More ordered), and the plastic food dish with a glass one, they've temporarily got a cardboard box house to replace the plastic tube, but I plan on making/buying a more permanent one. I made them some...

Is this a good place to order stuff from? http://www.forchinatechins.com/chincessories.htm She has good prices and a lot of items. If not, is there somewhere else with comparable prices? A lot of websites I'm going to seem to be out of business. I'm trying to find cheap toy/bridge parts...

My boys have settled in famously, and I've finally gotten over my kidney stone fiasco. I snapped a few quick pics before I cleaned their cage, so excuse the pooey shelves. It's the only place they DO poo, and I have to shake them off daily. I finally got the right hardware for shelves, and we...

Welp, my boys got here! I'm pleasantly surprised. They actually have a nice, big cage. Toys, shredded wheat, some hay, and some pellets. The pellets are crappy Kaytee Fiesta or something.

I should be acquiring two male chinchillas, brothers, about a year old. Hopefully this week! I was told that they sometimes make noises at each other and circle each other. Having a "sibling rivalry". I just need to know what is normal, and what is a sign to separate?

Hello! I may or may not be the proud owner of a pair of brother chinchillas here soon. They are a year old, both mosaics, and live together. (I do know that sometimes fighting can occur, and am prepared to separate if ever needed. But they have been together since birth.). They come with a...
