Demi (who's age is unknown because she was a rescue)has been sneezing on and off, lethargic, not eating as much, and has conjunctivitis in one of her eyes. I scheduled an appointment with a vet tomorrow but this is my first time taking a chinchilla to the vet and I've heard some horror stories...

I'm pretty sure I read it on a thread recently that breeders with large herds only free-feed pellets because it is too expensive to feed all of them hay as well. Of course, the pellet would be a good brand like oxbow. Is this viable for pet chinchillas too? Just curious because my chins barely...

I wanna start introducing two chins and I heard that you have to make the new cage neutral and scent-clean. I have a ferret nation with the original plastic pans that I cover with fleece liners. I know of the vinegar cleaning solution used for both hard and cloth surfaces. As well, I've heard...

Figured I'd give an update on the little boy I've been raising. He has successfully moved in with my girl Demi who has been snuggling with him and teaching him the ways of the chinchilla. He is around 110g now and still growing!

Been trying to figure it out for a few days now but I just want confirmation from a more experienced person :)

Right before we moved Fen into his brand new ferret nation today I noticed that one ear was pressed flat against his head and felt kinda limp and warm. After getting in the cage and exploring all over the place he drank a bunch of water. A little later he overheated a bit, both ears were...

I just received a call about an hour ago from my sister. She came home to an extremely bloody cage. She said she found the kit under her female chin who was dead (RIP shard:( ). We knew for a while that her chin was expecting a litter but we weren't expecting this. She asked if she could come...

I am currently looking for a vet since my recent move. If anyone has a recommended vet for my two chinchillas, listings would be appreciated <3

http://demiwolf-chinchillas.tumblr.com/ I just started this blog last night which will continually follow all the antics and milestones of Demi and Fen. I also post chinchilla-related news and articles I find while browsing the web that may interest chinchilla owners. I've learned a lot of...

I bought one of those edible logs a couple months ago ( http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753529 ) and it has gotten quite smelly recently. Is there a way to clean it at all or should I just toss it?

My two chins and I are moving to my fiance's house tomorrow and I'm fussing about how I can make the trip comfortable and stress free for them. We've been getting them used to being in their carrier and we plan on having the AC on to a comfortable level. Does anyone have suggestions on what I...

I may be moving to the states from Canada pretty soon and I was wondering if there are any licensing procedures that I need to go through in order to bring them across.

We decided that after much spilling and jumping into a bowl of water that purchasing a water bottle for Fen's cage would be a smarter idea. The only problem is that Fen doesn't know that water comes from that odd piece of metal jammed in between the bars of his cage. He is too shy to come near...

We adopted a young male chinchilla (born in March) named Fentusko (Fen for short). He is a little shy but quite friendly in his most active hours of the night and was adapting quite quickly even though we'd only had him for 4 days. Unfortunately we decided to add more hay into his cage when he...
