    Compressed Hay But Not Cubes?

    Soo...I need a little advice. I have a chinchilla whose molars are being trimmed once a year. The vet suggested I get hay cubes in a different shape so she would have to use those back teeth more. She's never eaten loose hay so we give her hay cubes instead. She has wood shelves and hanging toys...

    Swap carriers?

    I am looking for a 2 hole carrier and I could swap someone for my 4 hole carrier. Depending on how much they are to ship, we each could pay for the shipping of the carrier we want to receive. If you're interested, please reply to this thread with pictures of yours.Thanks

    Chinchilla finger missing - bone exposed

    Same thing happened to my chin years ago he started chewing on his finger though...took him to vet got fingers amputated and he wore an E-collar. Keep an keen eye on your chin. Blue-Kote it up and would probably be best to take him to a vet. Chins are the best at hiding pain.

    Bonded Males, lost one :-( HELP!

    I was only going to put them together if the answer to this question was a resounding yes that sex drive is zero after so many years. Glass half full option is out. Thanks for the info! :-) Down to getting Bear neutered or a chin shaped cuddle buddy. Does anyone on here sell chin shaped cuddle...

    chins fighting need help!

    Separating them is probably best or you might have lost fingers next. :-( Not sure what the cage looks like but if it is one big cage with a wire divider in the middle...maybe change that divider to a solid wood panel instead. Chin-safe woods are noted on this forum. Wishing you the best!

    What color is my chinchilla?

    Might be considered a light-medium tan. It kinda of depends on what color lines the mom and dad came from too.

    Bonded Males, lost one :-( HELP!

    We had a bonded male pair until Christmas Eve this year. :cry3: Merlin, our 1st pet together almost 7 years old, passed away and the other boy, Bear, is devastated. Merlin was a pet store chinchilla and has had a rough life, medically, because of it. At first, all Bear did was bark when we tried...

    Thanks everyone! That was the first and only snack shack we bought for that very reason. These pics are quite old. We had that cage, toys, etc almost 4-5 years ago. Definitely gained a lot more knowledge since then.

    How to introduce two chins?

    Put Vick's vapor on their noses during the next supervised playtime. It makes it so they cannot smell each other...almost like they're meeting a new chinchilla. Good luck! My girls never did get along though so sad :-(

    Yes, I am taking good care of my chins. The longest amount of time they've been alone is 1-2 days max. Please stop criticizing me for something I haven't even done. The 3-4 days situation was just an idea that's all. My last post was me accepting everyone's advice and suggestions. Yet I continue...

    My chins will not get the shaft or neglected because I got an unfriendly vibe here. That is not how my comments should be perceived. My point was that if you developed a bit of a rapport first that your advice would be more welcomed. I understand most of you have seen horrendous cases and have a...

    I understand where you are coming from Stackie. However, jumping to conclusions right from the start doesn't give me a good feeling about this forum. I asked questions and those should have been answered first. It is called developing a good rapport and some of you seriously need to consider...

    You guys are intense. I'm not going to have a complete stranger come into our apartment. Thank you Spoof for at least answering my questions. Yes, three days would be my limit too. Maybe put yourself in the other person's shoes before you start telling them how to care for their chins. This...
