Last night as I was putting the boys to bed I noticed that Pita didn't come running as usual and saw that he was scratching he couldn't seem to stop and today it's worse. He looks miserable his ears are tucked tight and his whiskers are droopy. Of course it's Good Friday so the vet is closed...

This is the cage I built to accommodate Hummus's disability. It has no ramps because soon after he came to us he tripped on a ramp coming down and got his foot caught and I don't want it happening again. ( Please bear in mind that there's still a lot of work to be done. ) [/ The cage itself...

I'm sure this is a familiar scene for all of us. The chin's playtime is over, they've been corralled for the night and the first thing you do is grab the broom and vacuum to clean the play area of all visible signs of their excitement of chasing one another and having a grand romp out...

I have been taking care of my daughter's chinchilla for a while now and have noticed that he really enjoys sitting next to the patio door side of his pen when I open it to get some fresh air. I know the weather is not appropriate now but I would like to make an outside hutch where he could go to...

Chi-chi ( sometimes known as P.I.T.A. ) has a 4 hour supervised playtime outside his cage each day. We have a large area cordoned off, where he has his toys and tubes, hiding spaces and boxes for climbing. I didn't realize when I set up the fence that it was within reach of the bookcase. ( Who...
