    My beloved Chinch died this morning

    I am actually so depressed about this. She was my favorite chinch, my first chinch. What upsets me most is that I know the reason she died was because of the care she received while at the pet store. I had not started working their yet and when I did, I noticed the kennel tech did not feed...

    Considering what's best for my Chinchillas

    I have a lot of debt right now due to unfortunate circumstances. I'm very stressed and I have been working a lot during the days and nights. However, with my new job I'm not making enough money to make even a tiny dent in anything. So I'm going to have to get a second job. BUT, now with a...

    I have put my chinchillas together. . .

    Everything is going really well with them. They are very happy and very good with eachother, but since I put them together. . .I find that they don't like me as much. How do I bond with my two chinchillas? Or is it just a lost cause now.

    How do I know if my chinchilla is bloated?

    I'm having an increasingly hard time trying to figure this out. She's always looked really round, so physically she doesn't look different. When I rub her belly she's not . . .jerking away. But now she's making whimper like squeaks, and I think it might be bloat? I don't know what to do!! How do...

    Just put my chinchilla is a different cage

    As you may know, I had gotten a Chinchilla surrendered to me. I put them in the same cage which turned out to be the wrong thing to do, as I learned here. So, I moved her to a cage next to the other chinchilla. All seems to be going well, except for one things. They are both literally...

    What can I use to disinfect my second hand cage?

    I have a cage that I have to clean before I can put my chinchilla into it, and I need to make sure that all of the odors and whatever else is all neutralized. I've been working on it to make it chin proof and would like to have it proofed by tomorrow. Can I use dish soap to scrub it down...

    But I was reading a lot more than usual and I noticed that breeders suggested that I don't take her out for play time for a while? If so, now that I've taken her out for play time twice since I've gotten her. I've only had her for 2 days. . .is there going to be mental damage? what should I be...
