Always listen to your instincts :) Let's hope that she gets something of a wake up call soon for the sake of her chinnies.

I really like that idea. So simple! Since she won't listen to anything else, tell her that he's gotta be fixed or no chinsitting. ...but the first one is chinnie friendly and devious at the same time

This does sound tough. It seems like she is one of those stubborn people who, no matter how much advice you try to give them, they ignore you - and it's at the expense of the animal's health/life. Really, she makes me mad. She killed her first chin - and is intentionally keeping a male and...

Exactly, you should say no if you are not comfortable being in a situation like that. Plus, she shouldnt expect you to have to deal with pregnancy or potential problems. I wouldnt feel bad about refusing. You could try to help her find someone more experienced to help her out. Plus - with her...

Some chinnies are just born divas I guess. :angel4: There is no quick fix to make a sassy chinchilla totally calm. Just patience.

Wow that is priceless!!!! She must have put a lot of thought into that move, planning for just the right moment! :laughitup: too cute

Yikes! I expected a hair ring too. Side note - I don't think I would wear that! It's not attractive at all:laughitup:

I completely agree!! The time spent with mom is crucial! Proper weaning and kit care should be common knowledge to all breeders - so if this breeder cannot handle this and claims their actions to be "accidents", doesn't have a scale, or feeding timothy instead of supplementing properly, etc - it...

Yes, rescuing chinchillas means you spend way more money than you make. Luckily, for me, I am able to spend every cent that I make working on the animals. My husband covers our bills. But if he wasnt able to do that - we would be on the streets!!! Paying for vet care is essential and when things...

:hilarious: Thats a good one!!!

Wow thats really terrible! Poor chinnies

I think that's an amazing tattoo! Looks great!!

The Sreddies brand cereal isn't shredded wheat. That was what I understood by your post - that you were feeding the shreddies cereal.

Why would you want to "try it out" later...everyone has already told you no veggies of any kind. Just cause he ate it before doesn't mean that it is good for him....he will get healthier if you stop giving that to him all together. If there is a chance it will cause him health problems in the...

You can put something in there that specifies if you want the rescues returned to you if the adopters can no longer look after them, it is not to be resold to a third party without your consent.... or if some health issues pops up after a month or two that, pending veterinary assessment, you...

LOL - why would you NOT want to own a chinchilla??? Special needs?? Lots of love and attention, room to run, large cage to jump around, proper diet, regular vet care

Sorry I didn't post this sooner! She was 7-8 years old. Good luck with the hand feeding!! Some chinnies get used to it pretty quickly and love the CC - others hate being forced to eat. Let us know how she does and I hope she begins to eat on her own ok.

Wow they are so adorable! Congrats! :heart: I love violets!

LOL I have a boy who will drain his water bottle all over his shavings. I have no idea how, he won't chew the bottle - so I gave up and gave him a water dish. I would fill his bottle and within half and hour it would be all over the bottom of his cage. I understand your frustration :laughitup...

That is really disgusting. He should lose his job.
