Chins & Hedgies sending annual birthday emails was always so touching 🥰 My chins have been very happy/healthy for the last decade- Wow. Now that they're older I'm starting to have more questions about making sure they stay happy!

I have a chin that absolutely loves to run on the wheel but is very timid when it comes to hopping from ledges. She's at least 15yrs and I'm thinking of buying a pet ramp so she can comfortably come out for playtimes. Have you experienced anything similar with your aging chinchillas? Could...

Don't worry. Don't worry, there is absolutely no plastic in their world anymore.

The past: Sorry, my posts are still moderated and take a while to go up: The chins came from friends that only had them for a year, and while they cared for the chins greatly, their apartment was very warm and their cage had a lot of plastic. Before they were adopted by our friends, the chins...
