Hehe, Imagine the same scenario Claire described except finding the chinchilla burrowed under the cage liner and all you see when you walk in the room is an empty cage at first (OMG she got out?! HOW) and then a motionless lump on the bottom of the cage...

One thing I seem to have a hard time finding at the pet stores are the Lava ledges. I know if they kept them in stock I would always buy them...insta-chin favorite.

:rofl: I bought one of those with a lid and my girl still sits on top of it and knocks poop into the tray...

I'm so sorry to read this news, the thought of having a fire terrifies me. I'm so glad to hear your family made it out alright. RIP little chins.

It's so convenient, I love it! It's just some pine boards, two are screwed together with a long door hinge and a separate one slides in between the cage and my desk. Then I just clamp the two sets together with construction clamps and good to go. Also the edges of the boards are lined in packing...

I haven't been on much lately but I caught some pretty neat wall surfing during play time and figured I'd share it. Hope it makes you laugh ;) Meet Beaker! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exvpzR8Xgxw

My chin will burrow all the way to the center under the fleece and sleep there. She has a hidey house, tubes, and a hammock but for some reason insists on going under there. Really scared the junk out of me the first time because I couldn't find her in her cage for a good 5 minutes.

mmm Chiblers

congrats! They're super cute

Thanks for the tip! I'd hate to see her white belly get messed up

She's only around 9-10 months old, do they get their first heat that early? However, I'm basing my counting on the fact that I got her from a pet store and at the time they told me she was 5 months old. And thank you for the suggestion, I'll go see if we have any of those wipes, if not I'll...

I walked into my room today to find my chinchilla sitting in a puddle of pee on one of her shelves. Her underside and tail were completely soaked so I gave her her dust bath and let her use it for about 15 minutes. Now her fur looks matted together and wet still. Is there something I should do...

Mini lives on in her little ones, RIP Mini. I'm sorry for your loss tab

Congrats, what a cutie

Mine moves her house and sleeps squished behind it. Now I just leave a space between the house and the cage bars when I clean.

Well I guess if i had a giant fleece tube i would also try to touch as much fleece as i possibly could

I use the glass superpet bottles. A lot of people don't like them I think but I've never had a problem with them. All you have to do is only fill it up with water to the indent in the glass where the spring holds it to the cage. Mine fits in the dishwasher and the bottle brush i have comes with...

I would double check that your boys are actually boys. From what I've heard only females really spray

Could he be getting angry at the other chin in the other cage? I know mine barks in her sleep/makes soft squeals, but I've listened to the other sound clips when they are angry/upset and they sound like they would be very unsettling. I've also heard a sound that almost sounds like a loud squeal...

If Beaker wants to come out and I go to give her scritches through the bars she will slap at my finger and try to push my hand back out of the cage. She also does the "I'm not pleased with you" look. I tell her she has a tude all the time. :tease:
