She redecorates all the time, but she's never mean like that. She has bathroom play time every day after I get off work and has full access to her wheel. Ticklechin, did she react similar to what I'm describing? She's typically full of attitude, but this is bizarre, even for her! And I've seen...

So Athena is having her first heat cycle (2 years old), which I think may have been delayed due to malnutrition, & other health issues that happened prior to rescue. We have had a year and a half and have been with her through all of her ups and downs. I have NEVER seen her this awful. She is...

Athena sleeps in her hammock A LOT (hence the profile pic!) She also usually totes her little stuffed monkey up there with her for snuggles(:

A quick vacuum, food, and water change every day. Along with the removal of soiled bedding (approx 10 min total). Every Saturday is a complete change out, vacuum, wipedown (30ish min). Every other Saturday, so every 2 weeks, is a complete change out, vacuum, scrub down, and dry (approx 1 hour).

I have no idea what is going on with Athena. She's excessively itchy lately. I mean, my skin is completely dried out, part of living in Alaska. Could she also be suffering from this? She was fine during the summer time, and her amount of dust bathing has not changed :( Any suggestions??

So, if you've seen any post from me recently, you know that my husband and I are embarking on a cross country move from Alaska to Kentucky with our dear Athena in November. I was wondering if it is suggested to take her for a checkup or anything before or after the trip? She won't need any...

Okay toymakers, quick question for you guys. What kind of dyes do you use to color your wooden toys? We would like to become a little more self sufficient with Athena's toys and would like to have more toys available to her that we can trust 100%. I'm fully aware of all the safe and toxic...

My mind was completely blown trying to read this and seeing something that I would NEVER do with my chin in, hmm, let's say... Every sentence... Those poor poor babies :(

Good to know! Because the first snow hit us in Alaska today! :P

It's set for end of November, now.

My hubby was wanting to cut through and down into N. Dakota because it's the "quicker" route to Kentucky and he really doesn't want to be on the road in Canada too long. Simply for safety reasons. I've heard both are pretty, but pretty miserable if winter is already in full swing! It's already...

Thank you! I'll definitely check her food and hay. Because they're both high quality brands. And yeah this past winter got down to -60F.. Not for this chick!!

My Athena gets everything she needs. But this morning I checked her teeth and they were only dark orange on the center part of each tooth and white on either side. MAIN SIGN OF CALCIUM DEFICIENCY IN A CHIN!! Needless to say, she already has the mineral rocks, but we purchased a different kind...

Our cage had to have a padlock on each door... And Athena broke one of the bars at the corner of the cage and got out that way.. Where there is a will, there is a way. Just keep an eye on them and keep a check for weak areas on their cage!

I agree with the guard, but also try to keep her up on a table or something away from walls and stacked items. You need to try to keep Bella as protected as possible because there are soooooooo many diseases that mice/rats can carry. Especially if they aren't of the pet variety, because lord...

Athena used to do this to "warn us" of something outside. I honestly thought it was a bird outside or something, at first. But we live in Alaska, where the bottom apartment is halfway underground. Turns out that at night, when the wind would blow softly, she was hearing the grass brush on the...

1. You can either build it out of wood (NO pesticides, NO treatments, NO unsafe woods). Or out of a metal bird cage, or something of similar sturdy stature. 2. Don't get any sort of coated woods. WAY too many things are TOXIC to chinchillas if ingested, and we all know how much they love to...

http://qualitycage.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=32_35 I got the single for my devious escape artist and she has yet to be able to get out of it, so kudos to them! Great prices, great quality, and great customer service. Pam, the owner, will personally contact you if needed. And if there...

We'll be PCSing in a month or two. Pretty positive I have everything set for the move itself, but I am looking for a trusted Exotic Veterinarian in the Fort Campbell area. I don't take our dogs to just anyone, so why would I take our chin to one? If you know of any great Exotics Vets in the...

Oh trust me, there will be no rush on this trip! We know the dangers too well! But hand warmers. I do really like that idea and will DEFINITELY pack some of those. Because breaking down with her in the car was one of my main concerns. We were going to fly, but 1. They couldn't guarantee her...
