Hey all, I'm hoping I can gleam some hope from everyone here. I have 3 chinchillas, 2 that live together and 1 that lives on his own - he tends to be quite domineering and aggressive. I've had the one for almost a year now and he still won't let up on his aggression. There are some days that...

I'm soo beside myself right now. One of my little guys' shelves fell while he was on it. Thankfully he is alright - no injuries - but it startled him soo much that he blew out a chunk of fur that left a bald spot the size of a nickel. I'm really hoping the fur grows back. Is there anything I...

So I'm looking to change all the ledges and shelves in my little guys cages. They're currently on plastic shelves - I know they're bad, that's why I'm wanting to change them - but have no idea where to get shelves and ledges big enough. Where do you all go to buy your stuff? And what would...

So I'm just looking for peoples opinions here. I have two chinchillas; I've been feeding them both Oxbow pellets and timothy hay. My one devours his pellets and hay. My other only touches the hay, I never see any change in the amount of pellets in his crock. As a result I give him lots and...

Any tips then on how to break his nipping habit. As of now, I'm just putting on thick wool gloves so that if he nips, lunges or bites (which he's been doing a lot more of) it doesn't hurt. I figured if my hand doesn't pull away when he does any of these things then he would learn that biting...

I don't know why the pictures aren't visible. If someone can walk me through that so y'all can see, I'd appreciate it. But I feed him Oxbow pellets.

I just want someones opinion on this. Does this look like my little guy has hunchback? If it does is there a way to fix it? I've read that hunchback is from malnutrition, but there's always a fresh supply of hay for him and my other little guy - of whom lives in a separate cage. They both...

That was my assumption, since he was never this bad. Any idea how long it lasts and if he'll go back to be somewhat sweet?

So I posted on here earlier about another one of my Chins with health issues - he's all better now btw, just trying to fatten him up a bit. But this time I'm posting about my other Chin. He's a little terror! Ever since I got him - about two months ago - he's always been a bit more...

So I took him to the vet and they said he seems to be a healthy weight. They didn't find any issues with his teeth, they tested his stool for parasites and the like but still nothing. They then proceeded to give me an antibiotic - in the event they missed something - and a probiotic to help...

He's about 7-9 months old, maybe a little older. I got him at PetSmart when I was living in Tennessee. He's definitely young, smaller than the chinchillas I've seen being sold back home in Maryland. I've been feeding him Oxbow Essentials Chinchilla Deluxe Food and giving him Kaytee Timothy...

Let me start out with saying hello! I'm new to this forum, but desperately feel I need advice. I have a chinchilla at home now that I'm a little worried about. He shows no real signs of being ill, no lethargy - he's actually almost always running on his saucer - no drooling, no pawing at his...
