Our two new kits were very uneven in size from the start. Now within the course of a couple days they are only 5 grams apart instead of 20grams apart. Is it normal for a kit to have a huge jump in weight gain to even out? Should this gain make me concerned? Here is a chart on their weights to...

I have been reading through so many posts and have come across nothing indicating if my baby chins should be having super soft poos. They have been mushy for at least 3-4 days at this point. Also, one of the babies has severed her tail. I can not seem to find the other piece of it and have...

Tonight as I was refilling food and water for my female chin,Shirley, I almost jumped out of my skin as I thought a tiny mouse was in the lower half of her cage. Imagine my surprise to find out she had babies in there! There were 2 babies. Apparently when our male chin, Goober, had made an...

I have not been on this site for over a month now, because we had a horrible accident with our first chin, Bella. My son, who is almost 2 figured out how to get her cage opwn, and was able to get her out of her cage. He didn;t have her in his hands because he was literally within eye line of...

My male chinchilla escaped from his cage, and was free for a little while. He is very "friendly" with my female chinchilla, Bella. Bella has been a little witchy ever since we got the other two female chinchillas, including hicking at people as they pass by and generally just not being nice...

Has anyone ever heard if Chins can/ will play dead? I had a friend over that was holding our chin Laverne, the one is underweight and had the prolapsed rectum 3 weeks ago. When I took her back to put her back in her cage, after less than 5 minutes out, she went limp in my hands and was flopping...

Since we got Goober, I have noticed that he is constantly peeing in his Timothy Hay. When we first got him, he was not given loose hay at all. I think the previous owner gave him an occasional hay cube thing,but never loose hay. I have tried several different hay holders, and my last resort was...

I saw this little boys cage offered for a $75 fee, and then as an afterthought, oh yeah, you can get the chinchilla for free too, if you want him. I kind of freaked out. What if they didn't want it? What if the owners just tossed it out if the purchasers didn't want it. And how bad is the...

I had a huge scare Tuesday Night. We went to take Laverne out for playtime last night and noticed that both she and Shirley were acting weird. Laverne was huddled back on a ledge and Shirley was on front of her on the ledge, hacking anytime we came close to them. We got them both out and...

Just wanted to post this and see what people thought. Sorry there aren't any close-ups yet. Let me know what you think? It is still a constant work in progress.

Even though we have only had our first chin, Bella, for about a month, we had to save these two girls when we saw them. A little background on their story, A local dog rescue was called in to help an abandoned dog. When they arrived they also found two chinchillas. They are two girls that...
