This evening(a few minutes ago) I walked over to Nymira's cage to see if she was awake. I looked all around the two level Ferret Nation, and was shocked to find that I couldn't find her. Initial panic was that she had escaped somehow and was now trapped somewhere in the apartment, or chewing on...

Hey everyone Quick question, I was on Ferret.com looking for scatterguards for my FN cage and saw that they sell covers for the shelves and pans that are made out of polyester. Are these safe for chins? Mine hasn't chewed much of the fleece in her cage but she definitely chews the bars so...

Not sure if it's widely available, but I found this awesome little gadget for $2 at the Dollarama near me. Tinypic(Mini-Vacuum) It basically plugs in via usb(those of you with iphones have the wall adapters!), and sucks up small things- perfect for cleaning poop out of cages with fleece or...

Hey guys. I just got Nymira yesterday from someone online(she'd started fighting for dominance with her mom), and she seems to be adjusting well. When I came home tonight from work, I expected her to be hiding in the furthest back corner of her cage. Instead, she came running right up to the...

I finally got her! 10 months old, still no name. Adopted her from someone online, and she's quite adventurous! She's currently running around her Ferret Nation trying to explore. Question though. She keeps trying to squeeze her face through the bars and escape. Is this normal? Will she fit? I...

I love how many silly questions I have... So I've been measuring up for tiling my FN cage, since I can't afford basspans. Basically, I've measured the floors to be 34.5x22.5 inches, which is about 5.39 square feet of tile. In order to accomplish this I'd have to get 21.5 tiles(6x6), but I...

Hey guys, I just built my FN182 and I'm noticing everyone is saying to generally remove the ramps. Why? Is it not safe to leave a ramp from the first level to the second, if it's covered in the fleece cover? If I take it out, how will my Chin go between levels? Thanks guys. :)

Hey guys, My FN cage has just shipped andwill be arriving shortly, so I'm ready to start prepping for the arrival of a new furry friend. I'm really not enjoying the thought of having to bring her(definitely going with a female- hair rings do not bode well with me) home from a pet store, so I...

Hi there! I'm a new member to the site, as well as a soon-to-be new chinchilla owner! I'm living in Nova Scotia, and I absolutely love Chinchillas! I'm finally able to afford my first one, and am just waiting for my Ferret Nation cage before I go pick out a Chin. I also have a cat! She's a bit...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this site, and decided to register because I'm getting a new chin this weekend and need to know as much as possible because I'm one of those people who stresses over everything if I see something that worries me- especially when it comes to pets. First things first...
