I was wondering if someone from the Pheonix, Arizona area could check out this pet store called Custom Creatures. My friend went there the other day and was deeply upset from what she saw. Apparently many cages/aquariums were insane dirty, animals were sick from left and right, and the...

I've always been a bedding person but honestly, I'm getting a little fed up with the messes it causes. And I've seen quite a few chin owners who use fleece as bedding which makes me curious as to its advantages. I'd like to try fleece but I'd like to hear about people's opinions first. And I...

My adorable little baby is finally turning one! I'm so happy for him, especially after the worries I had with him as a baby haha! He was born with odd fur which had me worried at first. It was later speculated that he might have been a curly chinchilla(not confirmed though) (baby picture)...

My baby chinchilla named Mocha was born with an odd fur texture. I figured it would fix itself as he grew but it's still very strange and choppy feeling. I know for a fact that it isn't fur chewing or else he wouldn't have just been born with it. And he's the only chinchilla I own with this fur...

My baby Sugar will be turning 4 months next week. I had a previous thread about her being so small. I'm still not sure if she's just a runt or a dwarf but so far her growth is still very slow. I weighed her this morning and she was 194 grams at almost 4 months old. I included some pics for you...

So my chinchilla had her kits May 22nd. The male, Crease, is doing great. At a little over a month he's around 140 grams. Sugar on the other hand is very small at 84 grams. At birth they weighed almost the same thing. She looks incredibly small compared to her brother. When I noticed her...

Just a few quick questions, how old must a chinchilla be before they can have their first dust bath? And how long must mom wait after giving birth before she can have her dust baths again?

Early this morning my chin finally gave birth to two little ones! I was impatiently awaiting their arrival! So here are my babies! The first born is a girl, she weight 39 grams and was born around 8am. The second born is a boy and weighs 45 grams. He was born at 9:43am. He's quite the...

I was curious if this was possible... I currently buy apple tree pieces of wood for my chinchillas to chew and they love it! But I find them costly honestly (almost $8 for a small batch of sticks)... I mean, at worse, I don't mind if I have to keep buying them, but if I can save money, I rather...

Hi, I'm a chinchilla mommy of three c: I'm a part time digital artist from Canada who happens to also be a huge fan of chinchillas! I often spend my time researching them and other animals just out of curiosity and of course, it's useful in many cases! I decided to finally join the forum...

I was at the pet store looking at some chinchilla products and I gave across some chinchilla treats which I questioned if they were even safe for chinchillas. They were strawberry yogurt drops. I had read in some places that yogurt drops weren't safe or at least not good for them, so I was a...
