http://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/2012/03/30/furry-friday-world-chinchilla-domination/?singlepage=true Thought I'll share this cute article about chinchillas that a fellow member emailed me. Thought it was a cute story and wanted to share it with you all.

In the past, I've had no problems fulfilling my chinchilla's love for lava bites because Petsmart had them in stock all the time. Now, I've noticed they have switched over to selling only the lava ledges/perches, but no bites. Is this happening nationally? Or is it just the two local Petsmarts...

Would anyone be able to recommend a dog (specifically sheltie) forum? My sister's friend (first time dog owner) just adopted a young puppy and wanted to get some reputable information, similar to what we have here on CnH.

I purchased an Edstrom Water Buddy Bottle as a back-up/travel/emergency bottle. My chin's original bottle isn't working anymore (leaking too much; was a ball-end water bottle), so I switched to the Edstrom. The first few days it was working fine and my chin was really overly excited about...

I've been noticing that my standard chin is developing a bit of a bald spot at the back of her ears, at the base. The rest of her ears don't seem dry or scaly and we've been cutting back on dust baths since the humidity has gone down a bit (Dust bath every 3-4 days; though, she still tries to...

I'm an avid hobby baker and would love to share the things I make with friends and family. Especially since the temperature is starting to drop, I think it's a little bit more feasible to ship things. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with shipping things such as cookies of all...

Hi! I'm Sesame and welcome to my home! erm... Please excuse the mess, my servants haven't tidied up just yet. This is one of my favorite places to snooze... Oh, take a picture of my good side! erm... is it a meal time yet? I'm famished! It's definitely have it your way at 5 Chins Burger...

Well... maybe not the world (...yet), but definitely taking over and controlling their human owners. Found this study to be amusing: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090713/sc_livescience/catsdocontrolhumansstudyfinds http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8147566.stm

Is there a nutritional difference in pink and red rosebuds? Do chins tend to prefer one over the other? Or is the color difference really just for us humans?

So... I quickly accumulated various things for Sesame (flat-rate boxes of sticks, toy parts, hanging toys, dust, fleece items to rotate out, glass jars for other treats, hay, a mini dust pan, etc., etc., etc.). I was wondering, how do you organize everything you've accumulated for your chins...

Just wondering... Can Chins see any color? I recall reading something that chinchillas have more rods than cones in their retinas, so I would assume that their color vision would be impaired to some degree with the less cones part... Anyone know? Or anyone have a chin that seems to respond...

I'm looking to spice up my hanging toys with safe wood (probably pine) cutouts like stars and hearts, beads, drilled popsicle sticks, wheel-shaped, and maybe wooden lollipop sticks. I've been using coins and whirlies, but I wanted to give my chin a variety of shaped woods to keep her interested...

I was just wondering... Can chins eat untreated Jute? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jute I was browsing through some bunny store to look at the mazes and houses... then trailed off to the toys and chews section. I've never heard of jute before, but they were using it as an edible string to...

Recently, I haven't been quite active on CnH due to some recent news about my friend. My friend, Wincheng Lin found out on New Year's Eve that her leukemia had relapsed. As a result, close friends have formed a group called All4Win to help Wincheng find a bone marrow match. I would appreciate...

Hi Everyone! I was able to keep my old CnQ name "Sesame" but, my real name is Sayaka. My boyfriend and I have a standard female chin named Sesame. She's a little less than a year and half old and we've had her for almost a year. It was a bit rough in the beginning, but this community...
