My chinchilla boy is grinding it's teeth pretty badly for a few weeks now, lately almost non-stop. Just today I noticed that he is more quiet and not interested in food. If I take him out he runs around but keeps on grinding his teeth, once back in the cage goes straight to his house and hides...

Can anyone tell me what do you feed you chinchillas in Ireland?

Thanks Brittany, I just feel bad for not giving them what they expect me to give them. What kind of pellets do you feed your chinchillas?

At the moment I need to buy pellets for my chinchillas (I am totally out) and the order that I have placed last Monday & was really counting on it comingin by last Friday - got cancelled!!! Last time I got Harrisons Chinchilla Pellets, but this time I can't find a place that would ship to...

I've been having some troubles of finding stuff for chinchillas. Would you guys be able to advise what sites are you using for your supplies?

Do you have any suggestions of where to buy the flying sauscer in Ireland or UK?

:banghead:I can't see the pictures.

Hi, I was wondering if you would put instructions of how to make one onto this forum? I'd love to try that.

Guys, I have a question. I have a grown 2+ years chin. When we got her, she was like a wild animal. Seriously... (I do give my chinchillas rasins and nuts as treats. Acctually have been doing that for almost a year and tehy are doing good, never knew that i wasn't supposed to.) She would not...

Hi there. After looking at this post I feel like my chins are stepchildren and I am the horrible stepmother. But I will change that and will make their cages more confortable and interesting. I might need some ideas from you guys. My chinchillas pee in 3 different corners of the cage. Yours? Did...

Hi, I've started weaning them of the milk. Last Tuesday they turned 10 wks they weight about 250g. Wanted to ask your advise (again). We have a grown male chinchilla around 3 yrs or so we were told, he looks older and doesn't move a lot. I was wondering if it is possible to move baby kits into...

Have a silly question, how do you know if mom doesn't have enough milk? Handfeeding is hard work if you have to do it every few hours. But isn't it nice to see them grow? I love that part. Glad to hear that the family is okay (even if they need a bit of your help).

Oh, I see. Sounds like they are doing very well (5 grams a day).

They are very cute. What happened to their mother that you have to handfeed them?

How is the new family feeling? Hope everyone is doing okay.

I am so sorry for your loss... I've lost chinchilla mom 2 months ago and a couple weeks after that one of the kits (girl). It was heart breaking experience... I really feel for you. Other two kits have survived two months and seem to be doing fine. We have another chinchilla that is due to give...

Yes, good luck. Our kits are 2 months old & we are still hand feeding them (they never took to a water bottle) only now not as often (every 6 hours at the moment). That's hard work and I've been there. I think it's worth it once you see them grow from a tiny thing to a fluffy kit.

These kits have never taken to drinking from a bottle. I feed them with the syringe & a little "nipple" attached to it. The water bottle is still there (has been there for the last month) even if I fill it with milk, they don't seem to like the feel of the metal (I'm guessing). I tried (& still...

I've reduced freaquency of the feeds but they still don't drink water from the waterbottle. Last night my alarm didn't go off so I skipt the feed and when I finally went to feed them they were frantic. Not hungry since they eat lots of hay and pelets but I assume they were thirsty. At the moment...

No, we still on regular Goat's Milk. I will reduce freaquency. Do you think they'll start drinking water once I reduce milk freaquency?
