Last time I took my chin to the vet I wasn't overly pleased with their knowledge of chinchillas, but I'm having a hard time locating an exotics specialist near me. How far is reasonable to travel with a chin especially if it's sick and needs the vet? Also in an emergency should I go to my local...

They actually charge you an extra $25 because of the weight for shipping. Still a great deal though!

Thanks for the advice. I'll stick with shavings :)

I was looking at the pets at home website and this looked like it might be clean, comfy and less messy than shavings? Anyone know if it's safe? The description says it's made of recycled paper pellets and is 99% dust free. Thanks!

And where do you buy it? I'm unsure of the quality of the ones you see in the pet shop or online :)

I've had my chinchilla a couple of months now and he loves playing in my room, but unfortunately I need to move his cage to a different room. Should I let him out in the new room straight away or wait until he's a bit more used to his new surroundings?

Looks like the second one is the best option! Thanks guys!
