    Oxbow no longer available at Petsmart?

    I order mine from chewy.com. It was less than $40 for a 25lb bag, and I add treats and stuff to the order anyway, so I almost always get free shipping (orders over $49 I think).

    Oxbow food changing

    Hello! I ordered a 25lb. bag from chewy.com a few months ago, and my guy loves it. And it was a great price, too. I think it was $35-$37. Seemed like a good deal when the 3-5lb bag at the pet store was $15. I hope the formula does stay the same, especially since it's such a recommended brand...

    Squishing Self Against Floor?

    Thank you all for replying! He's no longer out for more than 20 minutes since receiving the proper information from you guys! His wellbeing is all I'm worried about for him, so I'm very happy to change things up. We're currently going through a very gradual (2 week minimum) food transition in...

    Squishing Self Against Floor?

    And I was worried an hour wasn't long enough! A lot of different websites I looked at said 'at least an hour' of out of cage playtime. I'll cut it back from now on so he doesn't over exert himself like that. I don't want him to get sick or hurt himself. Thanks for the feedback!

    Squishing Self Against Floor?

    The last few times Rue has been out for playtime, he's started to do this after an hour or so. He'll either sit outside his cage or on a fleece blanket I have hanging up to block part of the room off, and he'll just hunker down with his paws under him and flatten his ears back against his head...

    My chin made a strange new sound

    My boy, Rue (sometimes Rue Bear!) makes that sound too. It's usually very early in the morning, around 3-4, and I'll go over and see him and he's just looking at me like 'What's wrong?' I got him from someone else when they had to move, so I was absolutely terrified he was hurt or something had...

    Hello from Indiana

    Aaw! They sound adorable! Great job on the training! My guy know his name, no, and it seems like he understands 'come here' to some extent, but that might just be wishful thinking. I'd love to figure out how to get him to go back in the cage. Sometimes I let him out after work at 11pm and it's...

    Chinchilla Sounds Resource

    Finally! I've been looking to see what this sound is! Rue makes this sound a few times in very early morning (3-5am) and I'm always afraid he's hurt himself or something, but he's just sitting there. So now I stopped getting out of bed, and I'll just tell him that everything is okay and he's a...

    Hi!

    Hello! I'm also new. I've had chin for a few weeks now, and I got him from a similar situation. Rue seems like a combination of both of yours. He likes to be pet and he'll climb all over me when he's out, but he won't let me pick him up yet. I'm expecting that to take months, and I'm considering...

    Hi Everybody!

    Thank you! And I agree! I've learned what kind of wheel would be best, what toys, how to make fleece things (though I'm a bit hesitant on that since it seems like he would be the type to eat fleece). I was so nervous the first few days, but I love this little guy so much ♡ So excited we can be a...

    Hi Everybody!

    Sorry the picture is huge! But this is Rue coming to say 'Hi!' :)

    Hi Everybody!

    Hello ladies and gents! My name is Ashley, and I recently became the mommy of an adorable little fluff ball named Rue (Rupert). The poor little guy's had a rough life from what I understand. His previous owner had to move from her house in to an apartment that allows pets, but then they said she...
