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

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...

I finally caught Beaker taking a nap in one of her funny poses and couldn't help but post. I have to wonder if this is comfortable.

Does anyone else's chin make soft squeaking noises as they sleep? I've noticed that right when mine goes to sleep she will squeak in a pattern almost as if she's snoring. I looked up the sound on that website that is posted on here and couldn't find one that sounded like it. It's very soft and...

I just woke up to discover what I at first thought was throw up on the shelves in Beaker's cage but I remember being told they can't throw up. It looked like mucousy piles of liquid that were a pale yellow color. I'm consfused because she has been eating normal and going to the bathroom...

Hi I was just wondering if there is anyone on the forum who has pictures of their quality cage set up. I feel like my cage is a little empty and wanted to see some pictures for some inspiration :thumbsup: I have a bunch of wooden ledges and a hidey house and two fleece tubes. I've been trying to...

So around the same time I got Beaker my friend's girlfriend had purchased one too. After reading everything on this forum I've learned so much in such a short period of time and after a conversation I had this morning I was glad to have some information to offer her. So this girl's chin is a...

I've been looking at chin colors just for some fun to pass the time and I thought the spots on the ears of brown velvets was just too cute. I've seen pictures that say it's a brown velvet chinchilla and it doesn't have spots on its ears. Is this really a brown velvet? Is there another mutation...

Hi I'm in the process of getting Beaker some treats and just wanted to know your opinions on what my schedule with her will be. I'm getting her whole Rosehips and I just bought her some Shredded wheat cereal (no sugar of course :) ). The cereal is big so I'm going to break the pieces in half...

I don't know if anyone has started this thread but I figured I would post these. Can you guys post pictures of your chin in a tunnel or their favorite sleepy/hidey place? Beaker in her new Snuggle Tunnel, Thanks Barbi :)

So I know that plastic is not safe for chins and that only certain types of wood are safe. I found myself wondering today about how wood is safe for chins. Most animals can not ingest and break down wood unless they have a specialized bacteria flora or some other mechanism for the type of wood...

Are there any brands of dust sold in pet stores that are acceptable for chins to use? I know blue cloud and blue sparkle are recommended but I don't like to keep purchasing a lot online because I've had my information stolen so I'm a little leery. I've traveled to about 5 pets stores so far and...

Recently Beaker has been making a noise that sounds like she's clicking her teeth together. I was wondering if this is normal or if she's grinding her teeth or something. She has plenty to chew on, a pumice stone, a lava ledge, and two kabobs filled with lava stones and wood chews. Not to...

Some randomness from playtime tonight, and early pictures I took of Beaker. Sorry if they come out too big, I don't know another way to paste them. Welcome Home Picture(No more of this cage, she upgraded within a week) Yes, this is my butt, another successful escape from a picture Ok fine...

So I've looked up sound files on chinchilla noises and their meaning but I have yet to hear a sound quite like the one my Beaker makes. Very early in the morning she makes this sound that I can only describe as squawking, I almost thought it was a bird outside until I got up and noticed it was...

Hi, I'm a recently new chinchilla owner (about 3 weeks) and wanted to join some fellow chin lovers. I have one female chinchilla named Beaker. After doing research I did buy her from a pet store instead of from a breeder, I felt like she would enjoy a better home than her tiny little square in a...
