Thanks Godins, you have helped SOOOOOOOOOOOO much... really...:clap::bow: Anyway thank you to those who have helped and also pmed. I do truly appreciate it. I'll continue in pms if I need further guidance or advice. The thread can be closed, no point to be open anymore.

Thanks parkers, thats what I meant, when they chip off its already kind dusty and ground so I can't think they are benefiting too much in back. Just the front. I just hope this doesn't cause problems sooner or later. They are given both right now and so far have had no problems chewing it...

Yes the one person explained they weren't trying but the other one was who I was referring to and who I got offended by. You are right it is hard to read tone, but its not hard to read accusations. I got defensive of that and feel I had the right to. Sorry to get off topic.. I was trying to...

anyone?

I'm sorry but why would I not jump to the conclusion she is pregnant. 1, she was housed with a male, 2 she is huge and hard, 3 I felt movement over three times now with her sitting dead still. She IS pregnant. There is no doubt. I only got defensive when people started acting like I was some...

sorry just realized I am not making much sense or spelling correctly.... I need to hit the sack.

Hi Becky... I don't mean nesting like a bird or a hamster, but the last chin I had here who gave birth we gave a box and paper towels to and she tore them up real fast and made a big next in the corner. I only have to go by so I figured I would do the same for this one. Now I know why she isn't...

Here is a picture of her and her daughter. Was taken the same hour I took that other pic. She isn't just laying around lethargic she hops around and all, I just took a shot of that cause she looks so sweet and she let me pet her head and closed her eyes cause she liked it. She LOVES being pet.

She is not sick. I hate to get an attitude but if you read any of the original post you would know she is housed with her 6 month old daughter whos poo that is. Second she eats and drinks normally as I already stated as does the baby. She is an extremely sweet chinchilla as is the male who I...

Oh ok, sorry I think I misread before, I wasn't getting it but yes I understand what you are saying. I won't be picking her up from here on out anyway though. I fI HAVE to I will keep that into consideration. Thanks :)

I am not "messing" with her. I felt around once when I thought MAYBE she was when I was told there is no way. Now that I think she actually is I havent done anything but let her sit in my hands and felt her belly that way and came here to ask. Stop acting as is I am torturing this poor girl. I...

Um, what are you talking about?

This vet is incredible. He is an exotic specialist and is very good with chins, recommends a good diet unlike most vets and is very experienced with chins and other small exotics. He has done 2 surgeries for us as well. I consider him a life saver but I understand most vets don't know what the...

Sorry didn't mean to ignore your question. The cage she is in now is about 18 high I believe? I don't know where the tape is right now. And the spacing is small so they can't fit through. Trust me the girl who runs the rescue has been doin it for years and is giving me more supplies for her...

The vet explained how soft to do it and not to do it and the general area. So you know I am not pushing hard at all I use two fingers flat and hold it semi firm on the area , not poking around. Everything was explained, but at the time it was with a chin we already knew was pregnant after he...

Well I know that much, but thats why I didn't go harder cause I don't want to hurt her. I was shown by the vet how to do it with the last one. For those who do palpate though, would you feel anything if there was no kits? She is in a baby safe cage already just in case. Oh the other thing is...

I have a question for the breeders and experienced. We only have so much experience with pregnancies here at the rescue. I took in a Mother and her 6 month old kit. She was housed with a male and another female. The other female has kits that are 6-7 weeks old. I asked the original owners if...

If it is a hair ring I would remove it yourself to make sure its gone. He could be having trouble getting it off which could be the reason he is doing it a lot recently.

Hi, I hope this isn't a stupid question and I did try to use search but couldn't find the answer. I just took in a pair of chins who have been fed cubes all their life as opposed to lose hay or both. I know a few people who feed these but also feed lose at least twice a week. Will feeding cube...

As far as I know its been this way for years. We were going to go with the pet dealer permit last year cause its so much easier to get then 501 c3 but we are still trying to work on the 501 anyway. The regs in NJ make it near impossible to be an exotic rescue unless you become 501c which is...
