So after much harassment Bermuda finally has oxbow products!! Yay!! The pet store brought in these treats and evn though the worst thing I've seen in the ingredients tosses the end of the list I wanna make sure these are indeed ok before I buy them for my babies...

After Sensi got out Of quarantine 2 weeks ago I placed her and Sookie's cages side by side and have swapped cages a few times. They seemed comfortable with each others scents and were even reaching through the bars to each other so I figured I'd try introducing them in the bathroom with vanilla...

Sookie has been having a little bloat off and on since we got this new hay, I discovered there were dried carrots in it and combed through it removing them all yesterday. Today she was restless during the day, hunched in the corner of her cage and her stomache was puffy. I grabbed some Timothy...

Both Of my chins are females but I've never experienced this with Sookie so I'm lost. Now that Sensi is in her new cage I've been observing her going into her little Hedy house and obsessively licking at her privates sometimes. I looked through the posts and was surprised to see chins go into...

Those are the best I can get for right now until we get her new cage and she's old enough for playtime. I only have taken her put for her dust baths. I'm trying to get this bad pee stain off her tummy.. Any suggestions? I heard something about putting a little baking soda in her bath but I'm not...

My 5 month old girl Sensi began doing something tonight I have never heard of or seen from my 1 year old Sookie. As I type she has her head tiltled side ways, teeth gripping the bar of her cage, and is running her head up and down the vertical bar. I dont know if this is a quirky thing...

Well I had no intention of getting another chinchilla till I moved back to the states but the local pet store brought in 2 chinchillas that nobody seems to be interested in buying. We have already put money down on the Beige female he has and are going to give the male a month in the pet store...

Soo yesterday my chin was producing less and smaller poops and I immediately hopped into action. her water bottle seemed to be inconsistent so I immediately put water in a little dish for her and phoned my husband to get her acidophilus and a new water bottle. She seemed to be uncomfortable so I...

I have abandoned all of the other sites I used to use and am putting my entire faith in these forums! So now that Ive wiped my chin slate clean I need to know: Now that its finally getting cool out here in Bermuda, is it true that they need little snuggle areas of fluff? I had read and heard...

As worried as I was about how her nose was healing (she ran into the sofa at full speed and ended up tearing her nose up :( ) but after her 2nd checkup and all stitches removed I am proud and happy to say that her nose looks good as new! Shes definitely back to her normal "hovering in mid...

For those who havent read my previous posts/questions about Sookie, long story short, she ran into a sofa and tore her nose almost off and had to have emergnecy stitches to reconstruct her nose and keep it to her face.. other than extremely thick scabbing which has scared me a little shes been...

Shell be sitting in her house or just hanging out and out of no where ill hear her make these little clicking noises with what I'm assuming is her teeth.. is this normal?

Shes finally allowing me to scratch under her chin but Sook freaks out whenever I go to pick her up, hold her close, ANYTHING! Am i doing something wrong? neglecting to do something? I know chins have different temperments but after combing through this site I noticed that her and I dont...

Is it ok to let my chin bathe while the stitches in her nose are still healing and scabbing? I tried googling what to do and can find nothing. She got injured on the 19th..

My baby usually sleeps in her fluffy cube or her little house during the day. The past month + she has been sleeping on the floor of her cage in either two places. directly in front of the ramp to rest her nose on or in this area of the cage she has dug all the shavings out of. is this normal...

I was definitely expecting her to knock it over out of curiosity, I was cracking up at how she not only knocked it over and got the top open, but when I went to grab it, planted her little paws on it as ig to say "MINE!" . Ohhh how I love my baby! <3 "hhmmm I know this box....." "Oh...

While Sookie's nose is still healing Im paranoid to let her have playtime in the same areas she did before. Someone suggested I get her a ball to avoid her running her nose into something. I know about the danger of overheating if left in there too long and the obv poop shower shell get. Ive...

I have to dissolve the scabbing in my chin's nose around her stitches, but I have absolutely no idea how to hold her, wrap her, or keep her still in a safe manner. I have been googling for hours and nobody seems to have a step by step on how to restrain my baby.. :(

Sookie unfortunately played chicken with the sofa and the sofa won. She managed to rip the flap of skin that forms their nose (that skin in the middle). This happened approximately 8 days ago and I can proudly say after 5 stitches she is healing beautifully and her nose looks great. My vet told...
