well thats the beauty of having your own pet is that you can choose yourself how to care for them, and if I want my gus to be able to run around the house supervised like I stated then I really dont see what the problem is, especailly after being all caged up all day and I know for a fact he...

I feel so stupid now, but thanks for replying thats all I was really hoping for, was just trying to have fun and seeing if I got responses, just lonely thats all

okay, your standard grey chinchilla costs 90 to 150 dollars and other colors can be up to 500 to 700 dollars, maybe more. How much would you pay if there was some chins that were guaranteed to be affectionate, loved to be held, loved to go places with you, loved to ride in car like dogs do but...

sorry for your loss

Well Chinbutt gave me an idea for a tattoo the chinchilla in a trench coat thing, but maybe a chew stick instead, or a cartoonish cigar. And by the way and Im sure most guys on this forum would agree that if we were able to do that deed ourselves, we probably would never leave the house, not to...

Thats so sad, but hang in there, like AZchins said it wasnt your fault, pets die, and Im terrible with this issue, My chins are the first pets Ive had since my black lab died 6 years ago, when my dog (shadow) died I was a wreck I had to miss a week of work and I cried for a month straight heck I...

Actually Im curious about the same thing, Ive noticed my new little baby chins eyes are the same as that picture strevale posted, god I hope its nothing serious, I just figured that since he is so young that the fur around the eyes came as they aged? hopefully someone out there can help us both

Is fleece the only kind of fabric that is safe for chinchillas or could I use cotton, flannel, etc ?

Im no expert but just saw your post and thought maybe you could look up past threads on the questions you have, thats what i would do, and good luck Im sure everything would be ok, Ive read once that when a baby chin is born the fathers can be around and that they are very protective and help...

I have already decided to take gus to taxidermist when the time comes hopefully not for a long long time but I know I want it done and I really dont care what people think, if they think its weird or gross, its my pet and my choice

thats a big 10-4, and thanks, god i feel like an idiot

No I used to think they were safe too until I jpined this site and believe me dont do it, dont risk it

Yeah when gus starts doing the double bounce and body twist thing or the super happy bounce as symphle put it, I always say out loud to him "oh boy here comes RODEO gus, i love him

I was wondering if it or if chinchillas would like to be outside in a safe protected zone like a 5 ft high enclosure with a cover for the top almost like a chicken wire type thing and they could be outside running in the grass of course on a dry fall day, is it possible, has anyone ever done this?

I just posted how gus gets moody when I put him back in cage after playtime, but he also loves to watch tv I dont know about the commercial thing but he loves it, Actualy I was wondering if this is normal or does anyone elses chins do this, when I let him out for playtime he runs(hops) all over...
