I have battery operated cage fans, I keep multiple marble slabs in the freezer. Several years ago during hurricane Wilma the power went out for 10 days here. My two chins at the time were not super active, but they made it through the heat ok until the power came on.

When I switched the chins to fleece from regular bedding, I bought 8x8x8 glass cooking pans, and filled them with yesterdays news. Something very similar to this...

My first/oldest chin(who is now my little old man at nearly 14 yrs old) used to get every horrible treat I think-pre-knowledge of how horrible they really were (raisins, dandelion drops, some weird dried fruit covered yogurt drop, fresh greens here and there, he even inhaled mealworms when I...

I don't use room sprays but I have used candles in my bedroom before. Mostly scents like lavender, vanilla, camomile, jojoba and mint, and such nothing to perfumey. No I'll effects on any of my animals over the past 6 years...

I used yesterdays news -soft texture for my ratties. It was pretty low on dust and clean.

Bear is almost 4 yrs old. He does have a cage mate who loooves his dust bath. I have given him the option of in the cage or out, with or without his cage mate.

My chinny Bear has taken a dislike over the past few months for dust baths. I have tried both dust houses and open pans, he just never wants to play and roll and obsess like my others. I literally have come to taking pinches of dust, putting it on him in random places and rubbing it in lightly...

I just decided to get a tower air purifier for my bedroom, which is where my chins are located. I didn't have too many choices in its location and decided to try it out near the doorway which happens to be about 20 inches away from two of my chins cage. As soon as I turned it on they ran down to...

I just wanted to say - I don't have the most experience with tons of chinchillas, but I do have 5 males ranging in age from 4.5 months to 13 yrs. I have them housed in two pairs and as a single. In the pairs they get along fine with the cage mate, but each pair has a docile chin and one with a...

I just wanted some opinions/advice...I have a male chinchilla who is going on 13 years old. He is still pretty active (esp. given his age..) still runs on his saucer, bounces off walls, and runs around. I have noticed over the past year his fur has been becoming a bit thinner (if I blow on his...

I brought in my super mellow chin into my mom's classroom for show and tell before. She teaches 3-6 year olds at a montessori school, and there was roughly about 20 of them. I also brought my dogs playpen to keep him in while the kids sat around it in "circle time". It was about a 20 minute show...

I use one of four things to clean any of my cages - Nature's Miracle, Orange-Oxy Nature's Miracle or Fizzion. For quick shelf wipes between cage cleaning I use GreenWorks wipes.
