I had been keeping my rats in a modified DFN; however, with my last one gone, I am not planning to have anymore. I am hoping that their cage can go to a home where another fuzzy can use it. I am selling 1 DFN modified with 1/2" hardware cloth with the top/bottom stainless steel Bass equipment...

So my original plan of having chinchillas in my room isn't going to work because of some crazy logistics and whatnot. The only room that I can place them is in the den of my house where there is really no foot traffic (and I mean none). Obviously, I'd take care of them and still do my best to...

I have recently acquired a buttload of fleece (Joanns 50% off plus a 25% off entire purchase coupon; I think this is still active on the website to print out). I've been planning on making some fleece items - some to keep, some to maybe sell. Thus, I have some questions. 1) For fleece houses...

I have been looking for an AC that will cool the room my chinchilla(s) will be in; however, my parents REALLY aren't fans of the window units or portable units with exhaust pipes because it creates a weak point for people to break into the house. I was thinking about getting an evaporative...

So this is super random as I live in California, where hedgehogs are pretty illegal. Anyways, I am in college in SoCal for biology and I am in my first lab (cool cool). I got my professor talking about animals and pets and whatnot... And she just dropped that she was one of the people who wrote...

I am hoping to do an exotic animal training and management program in the near future, but it has some days with long hours (7:30am-9:30pm) during the week. Other days are 6am-5:30pm. I know that I can give them about 30minutes-1hour most days of the week (not the ones when I get in late) while...

I know that happy pet chins popcorn, but do their wild counterparts do it also? By natural selection, things that have a negative impact on survival tend to get selected out, so what evolutionary advantage does popcorning serve?

I found this on youtube and it looks pretty cool, but how safe is it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dGfQU6LbK0

Does anyone have any experience using the Quality Cage hay rack on a Ferret Nation 182? I would like to buy one, but I want to know if it will fit the cage.

Is there a way to tile the FN 182 half shelves? From what I can see the wire shelves where the plastic pan goes is depressed.

I know that for sugar gliders and other sorts of cling-y little critters, you can put the babies in a little pouch that hangs around your neck/shoulder so that they get used to your scent and bond. I was wondering if that would work for young chinchillas provided that temperatures are low enough...

Other than being younger than 6 months and needing to fatten up, is there a reason to not give a chinchilla an exercise wheel? Would they be OK without one if they have lots of shelves and space to run around?

Is the Purina Chow Show the only acceptable purina rabbit feed to give chinchillas, or are any of the other rabbit food lines acceptable? Such as complete, garden, or professional?

Looking at the ingredients in pellet feed, I noticed that the first ingredient is hay. That being said, is it really required to give chinchillas hay if they're already getting the nutrients from the pellets? I know I've heard that it helps grind down on the teeth, but couldn't that also be...

I'm hoping to tile my cage in the future, but I have a ton of fleece from my sewing hobbies... I was wondering if I could watch where the preferred "wee spots" are and place little fleece pads in those areas and clip them down. Does anyone know if this would work at all?

Sorry, there are going to be a lot of question; some of them may have already been answered, but I can't find the threads. So, here it goes: 1) Hay Cubes vs Hay - Which is easier to have and clean up after? - Which hold higher nutritional value per unit volume? - Are cubes...

Would anyone happen to know the dimensions of a bag of feed for the various sizes: 5lbs 10 lbs 25lbs 50lbs I only have a limited amount of space to put so much feed and I want to know how much I can get at once.

This is probably a really dumb question, but I can't really tell since the picture is so small. Is the 2 piece feeder from Ryerson for pellets or hay?

I'm trying to think of a smart way to store everything neatly (pellets, hay, fleece, dust, and wood shavings) and I thought that a 5-drawer sterilite tower might do the trick. Is there any way that the pellets, hay, and shavings need to be stored? I heard that hay should breathe to prevent...

I was looking for some melamine boards on the Lowe's website and it gave me whiteboards (like the ones you would use for dry erase markers). I was wondering if it is still OK to use in a chinchilla cage as the size is better and it's lighter.
