Last weekend I bought some new tools, and as a little test I made this chinchilla house. I wanted something to put their hay and herbs in so they don't get tossed around and out the cage. Also, my chins have the bad habbit to move their pee-bowl around on the second floor of my ferret nation...

My girlfriend and I finally moved to our own home with garden, so finally we can start looking for a dog. We both wanted one for years now, but due to the lack of a garden we never got one. We don't plan on buying one right away, as with our chins we wanna take the time to research, learn and...

I have no idea how good (or how much) chins they are selling in other countries, but here in Belgium it was virtually impossible to buy chins at a local petstore. To get one, you needed to go to a breeder, wich made the chance of being an impulse buy very slim. Lately however, and by that I...

Last weekend I heard from a friend of mine he was going to cut down his (weeping) willow, and I finally saw an opportunity to get a free and virtually unlimited supply of wood. I cut up some branches that are drying in a garage as we speak, but during the trimming we had lots of finer branches...

Since my cage has wide doors (FN cage) I get easy acces to the whole thing, both floors. The spots that are the hardest to reach are the shelves in the back close to the ceiling of the cage, since they require some weird stretching to get there (for me at least :P) The chins prefer this spot to...

I don't have a separate chinroom: both my boys live happily in their ferret nation cage in the living room. On the opposite side of it there are 2 guinea pigs living in a big ferplast cage without floors. Since the chins don't get playtime yet -and if they do it won't be in the living room-...

First of all, a little description of the circumstances of how I live. I live in an appartment together with my GF, 2 guinea pigs and 2 chins. Both the chins and guinea pigs have their cage standin in the living room, eac on one side of the room. Next to odor control (especially from the guinea...

So, as some of you know I have 2 male chins that live in a ferret Nation cage. They get their daily hay and pellets, fresh water, and for more then a month now everything is going ok. The last days were a bit warmer over here where I live, for the rest nothing else changed in their life. Now...

So, since the summer ain't far away anymore I need to start thinking further about how i will keep my chins cool... Everybody talks about granite slabs that they can put in the fridge etc since the stones keep cool a long time. I was wondering if a small tile allready gives them a place to sit...

Maybe a weird question, but I always heard (and allready experienced) that chins adapt fast to the habitats of their human co-inhabitants. They allready seem to know what time I get home from work and when it's approx their time to shine :) Ofcourse the way and times you handle your chins...

I needed to put the extra wire around my cage for my 2 boys. When I got them, one was 2 months and the other 4. I know it depends from chin to chin, but I am wondering when they are big enough to remove it. Some people tell me 4 months is minimum, before they will be too small for the bars. The...

I read everywhere on the internet that people constantly look for new and entertaining ways to keep their chins busy. I read that an empty toilet paper roll can't harm them, so I packed it with timothy and a rozehip in the center. Stuck a twig trough and attached it to the cage. They like it a...

As I allready mentioned in a topic i started a week ago, I am a new in the world of chinchilla's! Last week, after a period of reading and getting info everywhere I could, I went to pick up 2 male chins (2 and 4 months old). They only got introduced a week before I went to get them, and...

As i allready stated in another post I made on this forum, i try to do everything to make my chins happy in their new home. Since I have em for only 2 days now, and they have lots of stuff left to explore, they seem to enjoy their new home. I want to keep em busy, give them lots of healthy and...

Wall of text, just wanted to share my first 2 days of chinxperience with you... As maybe some of you have read, after lots of reading and looking up, talking about it with my gf, looking around for a vet and supply stores that could provide me in my chinneeds, my GF and I decided to get 2...

Hi everybody! I'm pretty new around here, and I am also pretty new to the wonderfull word of chinchilla's. Me and my GF live at an appartment in the city, and since she has an allergy to cats and obviously a dog couldn't live here without a garden, we went looking for another pet. Now, I...
