    Replacement screw on ball valves for Lixit?

    OK, I have searched their site and I can't find just the caps. Where did you find them? I don't have a Petsmart anywhere around here.

    Replacement screw on ball valves for Lixit?

    One of my screw on ball valves has stripped and won't screw on the glass bottle anymore. I have done searches and can't find anywhere to buy just the ball valve. Anyone know where I can get some? I have the 16oz Lixit glass bottles with the little floating turtle, like these...

    Make Me an Offer

    I find it really annoying when somebody has something for sale but won't give a price. If I have to make an offer, you bet I am offering next to nothing! Let them come back with an actual price, then we'll talk like reasonable people.

    Bloat?

    When giving CC it helps to "coccoon" them in a towel so that they can't wiggle around. Sorry about your face......

    Quiet Cage

    You could probably remove the ramps, since chinnies don't need ramps, and that might make it a little quieter. Wood ledges instead of the wire landings may quiet it down some, too.

    Best way to educate ....

    If they are her dad's chinchillas, then why does she HAVE to be interested? I would talk to the dad. Put your awkwardness aside and start off with some general chinnie chat, you know, friendly stuff. You can always make suggestions in the form of enthusiastic chin gab. You may find him quite...

    Chinchillas and their natural environment

    Interesting topic! I would tend to think (I don't really know) that wild chins would have more oily fur so it would be more rain repellent. Also I agree with our genetically tweaked domestic chins having more plushy coats. Chins seem to be very similiar to horses in regards to digestion. Wild...

    Which would be best?

    You could try dividing your FN and letting them get used to being neighbors for a while. And I second the suggestions to get a young friend and clean the cage before putting them together.

    Pet Rescuers Answering Machine

    Sigh.... A biggee that we get at the rescue I volunteer with is people moving and you know it is just IMPOSSIBLE to move somewhere where they allow dogs. Idiots. They have no shame.

    dog questions

    I volunteer for a rescue and, even though it is on our application, we don't hold it against anyone for being away to go to work every day. I think it is more to get a feel for your daily routine and if a particular dog will fit. EX: we wouldn't recommend a high energy pup to somebody who worked...

    Super Pet Ledges

    I don't know what the Super Pet ledges are made from. However, it is super easy to make your own from pine 2x4 and the wood screw/bolt combination hardware with a wingnut. All pieces can easily be found at Lowes or Home Despot.

    A place to get Mazuri pellets in Virginia?

    I get mine at Feeder's Supply, it is $14.95 for 25lbs. See if they have a store near you.

    Their happiness is my misery. Dust substitute search.

    Does the PDZ help keep the rest of the room from getting so dusty? Are you guys satisfied with how the chinchillas look?

    Warning to NJ breeders

    Chill out, your chillas are safe! Seems weird that he went from wanting chillas from you straight to wanting to report you. What's up with that? Did you guys argue about something? Or is he just a nut-job?
