I gave them a dust bath babies just tried to eat the dust lol and I haven't noticed any more fighting, they're both gaining weight and cuddle together with mom all the time. I figured it was from mom because of how wide the bite was but I guess it could have just been 2 separate bites. I am just...

Thank you. I started hand feeding on Saturday and rotating with the smallest one in while the biggest were out with me. They started gaining but unfortunately I lost the littlest one. :( she had gotten a bite to the face probably from mom and she just seemed off from the start The other 2 are...

Thank you for the replies. Yes I moved mom and babies to the CN because they were originally in a ferret nation. My dog found them first luckily they were under the shelf of the cage. Mom will forever be separated from my other males as I do not want this happening again.mom does have alfalfa...

So my "male"chinchilla that I've had for almost 2 years has 3 babies today. I came home and went up to let my puppy out of his crate and he kept whining and going over to the one side of his cage I didn't think much of it at the time but then later he would not leave the shelf under the cages...

We had a Chinese dwarf hamster come In to the store where I work like that once I adopted him and he lived a normal life very happy and healthy :) so hopefully this chin can too. Sorry no idea if it's hereditary or not but I would assume it's most likely just a fluke?

No I don't want that! I guess he'll just have to be alone then :( I hope he gets over it and stops digging he bedding everywhere...I have ordered a chinspin so hopefully when that arrives he's stop Thank you

Well poop... I figured that was going to be the only option since its went that bad! well maybe in a few months I'll try reintroducing them after some separation and start all over with them starting in a neutral area etc and if they still don't get along then he'll just have to be alone I...

Ok so this is kind of a long story but bear with me lol I'll start from the beginning... Ok so I have had Bailey and Cedric(both males) since 2008 they were a bonded pair I adopted from forchinate chins. They have always gotten along well a little bickering here and there but never any...

Thank you lol

Interactions with another species is not the same as with an animal that speaks the same "language" so to speak. And the people live alone with pets but they can leave their home and go outside to interact with other human beings. (Some animals do develop severe issues, even to go as far as self...

It's actually been proven that solitary confinement in human beings can cause severe mental health problems. And even if a person(or animal for that matter) won't die from being alone I beleive any animal that naturally lives in groups will be happier with another animal of the same species...

Here are my boys with hats on( I used photobucket if that helps)

I had 2 males for several years and I got a third about a year or so ago and this is what I did. After quarantine of course I started by keeping the 2 cages next to each other and giving them floor time together after several floor time attemps that went very well i cleaned the cage and put them...

Ok thank you I'll be sure to check it thoroughly for any signs of mold. I have to order different hay for the pigs so I'll feed that as well as this mix but this is much less expensive so that will help. The lady I'm getting it from feeds it to her horses so I would hope she would dry it and...

Yeah I guess it's very similar to alfalfa! So it should be ok to feed as their main hay?

I'm not sure how much a little is exactly. Lol Is it easy to tell between the grass hays and the clover by looking at it? She said the field is farmed in strips and that some strips used to have clover so there are small amounts in some of the bales

I am wanting to get a larger amount of hay and I contacted a lady near me who has some available. I asked her if there was any alfalfa as I know guinea pigs are not supposed to have it due to high calcium levels... Anyway she said it was orchard grass hay and Timothy mixed with a little clover.(...

whats the bar spacing on the cage you bought?

petsmart feeds oxbow food so the switch to the national geografic which has a lot of unhealthy bits in it and the yogurt drops and alfalfa hay probably upset his tummy. make sure his main hay is a grass hay like timothy hay and not alfalfa. and no treats of any kind(even healthy ones) until his...

I work at a Petsmart and I do the same thing with customers( or even if I am a customer at another store lol), even if I am not helping them and I just see something in their cart that's isn't good for their pet(be it a chinchilla, guinea pig, bearded dragon, etc.) I always let them know about...
