Wednesday I decided that it would be a good idea to clean the chin cages with water and vinegar... While I was cleaning the cages, hubby was giving one of the dogs a bath. He opened the door when he was done and of course the dog came running out of there like a bolt of lightning. The dog bumped...

I gave loose before but I have allergic reactions now so I only do cubed.

A friend of mine made me some chin houses for Christmas. I know its late but here are pics.

When I had Harley he would move his hidey house around and move his shavings to the corner he wanted them in. He also had a little wooden ladder that hung from the side of the cage and he would take it down and move it everyday.

In my house I had 4 chins, 2 rabbits and 1 dog. Never had any problems with anyone eating any poop.....that is until I let the pitbull come in from the cold. She eats the dogs poop, the chinchillas poop and the rabbits poop. She is horrible.

Female with 4 chinies

I made a similar post to this a few weeks ago. I started having allergy problems every time I cleaned cages and fed the little guys. It was the hay. I started taking Zyrtec everyday and haven't had a problem since.

I am just curious about the ages of all the members. I am 24 and have been a chin mommy for a year. How about the rest of you?

I've had chins for about a year now and I have never seen that. Does he roll where he poos?

same here...In December of last year I bought my first. He was a standard boy and he passed away in May. Then in August I decided I just couldn't live without chinchillas so I bought 2 from breeders on here. I am leaving in the morning to travel 3 hours to get 2 more. It turns into an addiction...

I got my Mia from a breeder on here in Kentucky. I don't think she is actually a member because I haven't seen anything on here from her since I got Mia. Anyway she gave me a bag of "treats". It had almonds and sunflower seeds and raisins. But the breeder I got Max from gave me some oxbow food...

So what OTC med works for you?

In the last few weeks I've started to think I have an allergy to my chins. No worries I have no intentions of getting rid of my babies. I thought at first it was just seasonal allergies but it gets worse every time I do a cage cleaning. I bought a shop vac so that cleaning is easier but a little...

So how do I test my water?

No he's not fixed...they have separate cages they were only together for the pic.

Essentia...where are the breeders in Georgia? I have tried so many times to find a chin close to home but the closest I've found are in Kentucky and South Carolina.
