Chinchilla wheel for sale in Burbank/Los Angeles, CA area!

Wondering if I should be concerned at all or if this is normal... I have two brothers, who are now about 4 months old (approximately). The last three mornings, one of them (Dash) has been spending a lot of time "cleaning himself". The chinchillas I've had in the past have done this of course...

Wondering what everyone does for out of cage time. I used to have a spare room just for the chinchillas (I have 2), but that's no longer an option. I'm wondering if anyone has tried the playpens or if you have other portable ideas? I'm looking for an option that I can use in any room and...

How young can I start litter training? My boys are just over 3 months old, but they seem consistent with the corner they choose to pee in. Is that too young to put a glass littler pan in to start training?

About a month ago, I got 2 baby boys, so they are now just over 3 months old. A couple of times now, one of them (Dash) has seemed to be covered in pee. (At least that's what I'm guessing from the smell!) Is this normal behavior for a young chin? I've only ever had adults, so not 100% sure what...

Hi All! I'm fostering 2 Male 2-Month Old kits and they were just dropped off today. They didn't come from a good situation, so I don't know much about their life before now, but I know their mother died a few weeks ago. They have been eating Timothy Hay and drinking water from a water bottle...

I'm going to be fostering two 6 month old little boys. And even though I've had many chins over the years, I've never had chins this young, so I had a few questions: 1) Does their housing need to be any different than a full-grown chin? I've always had the double critter nation, but I'm...

Looking for some advice on weaning a chinny off of critical care food. A little background: Cotton is about 8 years old and has recently developed some teeth problems. :( He stopped eating and we saw the vet on April 2nd. He got a trimming and was in a lot of pain and lost some weight so we've...

Looking for Fleece Liners for the Critter Nation cage (with Bass metal pans). It's a double, so I need fleece liners for the large bottom pan and the large second story pan with the cutout. Any suggestions on who makes these and where to order them?

Just got metal pans for my boys cage, but a little worried about him slipping. I have fleece in a few areas but have never completely covered the pans in fleece. He's also litter pan trained so I don't want to use wood shavings on the bottom. Is this something he'll get used to? Is it safe...

Looking for Wood or Metal Shelves to fit where the plastic shelves go in the Critter Nation. Would like to get two of them ASAP. Anyone here make/sell them? or know of a site to get them? I was looking at Bass, but it seems they only offer the larger levels. Any help is most appreciated!

I'm looking to replace all of the 4 plastic pans in my Critter Nation with the metal pans ASAP. I'm looking at Bass but only see the bottom level and the middle level (with the cut=out). I need both of those but also need to find metal pans for the 2 smaller shelves. Where did others get theirs...

We just moved into a new house and Cotton seems a bit jumpy. He is kind of sticking toward the back wall of his cage and jumps at every little sound. He's used to out apartment which was nothing but carpet but not we have tile floors and things are echo-y as we don't have area rugs, etc. just...

Hi All. As some may know, I just lost my sweet boy, Splinter yesterday after a long battle with dental problems and other underlying issues. I had to separate he and his brother about a year ago and I had the double level Critter Nation, so they each got half. Now I have the second half open and...

Lost my sweet little boy Splinter. After lots of ongoing health problems my baby is no longer suffering. Love you so much monkey-boy!!!

Splinter my dental chin has finally reached the point where I have no choice but to take him to the specialist to be put under. As some may remember we suspected teeth problems but we almost lost him when he was put under so no xays were taken. He's been improving with eating critical care...

Hey Everyone. Hoping for some more advice... Still having some soft, moist clumping poops with my boy, Splinter. I feel like I've been trying everything to no avail. HELP!!! His diet consists of: -Critical Care food mainly (he's a dental chin) -I leave Timothy Hay in the cage but he doesn't...

My little boy, Splinter (who some remember as having some issues with dental) has been doing better... eating more, drinking more, very active... However, now that he's pooping again, the last few days his poops have been somewhat moist to the point where some are sticking together or they...

Hi All. I'm still hand-feeding my Splinter boy... and I'm wondering if there's something I can leave in his cage (because his usual Oxbow pellets & Hays/Grasses) that is a softer consistency for him to eat in between hand-feeding. I don't force-feed... he's happy to much on Critical Care food...

Vet has done extensive exams of my little guy and has concluded it's allergies... but to what I need to figure out... Thoughts on what could be causing allergies??? Could it be the type of dust I'm using? The type of litter/bedding shavings? What else? And any suggestions to determining it?
