I went in to check on my chins as usual and Saturday evening one of my girls was nose to nose with another and just seemed sluggish. She has never been housed with a male. Always with these 2 other girls and there has never been an issue. I picked her up and she was definately lethargic. I...

K so I'm sure this is a stupid question but I won't know till I ask so... I am wanting to clean my wood floors with vinegar and I wanted to know if the fumes bother the chins or not. I know that bleach is harmless AFTER it dries but have no idea if I'm safe or not to go ahead and make a vinegar...

I've saw where people use popsicle sticks and wooden spoons for chew toys on here. I was curious where to buy them in bulk that are 100% safe for chins. At JoAnn fabrics, they didn't know what type of wood it was. It didn't say on the package either or if it was natural. I was just curious...

I had a chinchilla and was giving her away as a present and as I was transporting her, in the sunlight I noticed the backs of her ears were extremely dry. They looked almost like brownish crust. I don't know if I should treat it as dry skin or as fungus. She just sent me a couple of pics of her...

About 4 days ago I was feeding Bambi and on the door to her FN is a ledge. The door was open and she lunged beside me like she was tryin to jump on the ledge that she's used to being there and fell on the floor kinda on her side. She took off to run and when I grabbed her, I pulled some hair off...

K so I have a 9 wk old male who seems to be grooming or itching down there excessively all of a sudden. I was curious if I should do a hair ring check. I didn't realize babies could get them. Is this common or could it be a fungus from a leaky water bottle? He was taken away from his mom a week...

My Squeaky just turned a year old. I had just gotten done cleaning the cages, water bottles, food bowls, & put the clean linens back in their cages and given them mulberry sticks when I looked back at Squeak (no more than 2 mins later) he was layng on his side and the stick was in front of his...

While I was attempting to scrub my mulberry sticks, the bark was going to so I'm just gonna boil them then bake them for a couple of hours or so. Is this gonna be safe without the scrubbing process? Anyone who may be of help, please let me know asap! Thanks so much!:hair:

Avatar aka "Luci-FUR"! My wittle snuggle bug doesn't seem to mind dressing up too much! Maybe I'll have a lil amateur photo shoot in a bit with my babies! We'll see who's gonna be cooperative! lol

As some of you know, I got Deliliah at the beginning of July and she had a baby, Evie on July 31st. I was wondering if its safe to put Evie in a FN now or if the bar spacing is too big. I have a FN that I've got separated as 2 so I can put Evie & Delilah on the bottom. The baby proofed cage is...

I have always fed Mazuri and never had any issues. Its recommended by a lot of vets. Its a little more expensive than others but if its a healthier choice, cost doesn't matter to me for my lil buddies. I was at a breeders house the other day and she was telling me how mazuri was no good and I...

I wash my water bottles nightly and give them only bottled water that I drink. I have a couple of plastic ones and for some reason, even though I wash them on a reg basis, they stink every night before I wash them. I have no idea why bc the water only sits in there for about 24 hours at a time...

This is a short vid of them in their car that I put dust in the back where the "pool" is! Evie, their 5 week old baby is a hoppy lil spaz! She cracks me up! The vid isn't the greatest but I just was capturing the cuteness :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBpYcLjBUpY I love Evie's little...

Omg! This is a CL situation. I just read an email a woman sent me about her CL chins and my stomach flopped! It freaks me out to hear how people unknowingly harm them by being unknowledgeable on these little guys. She said she had 2 4yr olds whose diet changes on a regular basis but always a...

My little one had turned 1 month on Saturday weighing 140g. Last night and this morning its been crying non stop. I weighed it and it weighs 135g so its actually losing weight. Its only 4 weeks old so I think I need to step in and had feed. Its trying to feed on mama but then moves away. I...

I just wanted to say that I LOOOOVVVE my babies! All of them soooo stinkin much! I love each and everyone of their personalities and these lil guys bring so much joy to my life! My friends are calling me a hoarder! I don't have that many but I would like more! I don't have children and I'm...

My little boy, 9 mos old, all of a sudden has been chewing things like crazy. I am putting wood and pumice in daily and am wondering if he may be having an issue with his teeth, like malo? I got him from a girl who had probably 30 or so babies and other critters. It was like a puppy mill but...

Avatar being silly in his fleece! Willow (beige), and of course the chinchilla formerally known as "Trixie" now a boy! Supposed VC but who really knows! And Ebbers! ...more to come when my camera works!

I was switching cages tonight and I've only had this girl for a few weeks and there was something coming out of her privates. It was like snot. Could it had been a discharge? Do you think something is wrong or is this a normal thing? I don't know anything about that area besides babies come...

I got my 2 little boys in January from a girl who didn't seem to care at all for them. It was like a "puppy mill" or something bc their were soooo many in this little travel thing but I got 2 for pets anyway. I've had them since Jan and they were 2 mos then. They've been together the whole...
