I agree that sitting with him in the playpen might help. He also may not like being in a confined area such as the playpen. Maybe try to instead play with him in a chinsafe room, such as a bathroom or a big walk-in closet, where he can run around more freely. Just make sure you supervise him...

Hi All, I just wanted to share a pretty good bargain that I found online recently. The e-store on Chinchillas.com is offering 15 pounds of Blue Sparkle dust for only $21.95. Plus, the shipping is FREE within the USA (MUCH cheaper than Petsmart which sells a 3lb container for a...

Hi All, I have a quick question. Up until now I've been using a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 1 part water to clean my chinchilla's pans. The cleaning solution works well, but what I really don't like about it is the smell. The vinegar smell is so strong and pungent, which makes it extremely...

Thank you all!

Hi all, I know this isn't really chinchilla related, but I just wanted to see if you guys could be of any help. A good friend of mine recently had one of her two ferrets pass away. She's currently searching for a ferret or small pet rescue in NJ where she could get a new friend for her remaining...

I purchased a box of timothy hay from them a couple weeks ago and my chins absolutely LOVE it! It's the only brand of hay (besides Oxbow Orchard Grass) that they really like to eat!

Hi guys, I own two of these Super Pet Tree Trunk houses. The Super Pet website says that the houses "are made from a unique combination of recycled plastic and wood that is completely pet safe." (You can find the description here...

Thanks!

Hi all, So I've been wanting to start building my own chinchilla toys and supplies and I have a quick question; What type of glue is safe for chinchillas that I can use for building hidey houses and other toys? I've heard Elmer's Non Toxic Wood glue and Elmer's school glue is OK? Any...

Thank you AZChins!

Hi everyone, I was cleaning out my chin's cage today, and I noticed a few strands of hay in their holder look a little bit odd and I think it may be a little moldy. Luckily, I have a new shipment of hay from KMS Hay coming tomorrow afternoon (possibly Friday due to the snow here in NJ). So, will...

My chinchilla did something very stupid a few months ago. I had the door on the top level of his cage open and he jumped out from the top level of his cage and landed right on top of my Golden Retriever's head! Thankfully my dog is super gentle and just sat there until my chinchilla jumped off...

That's how I feel whenever I order any chinchilla supplies! I just ordered 9lbs of timothy hay online and I'm really excited for it to get here (I know, I need a life...lol :laughitup: ) Anyway, congratulations on your FN! It will certainly make a great home for your chin! I'm not sure if you...

Thank you all for responding! I've decided I'll get the saucer for them! I'll be purchasing it tomorrow :)

1. When you've considered getting a separate credit card just for chinchilla purchases. 2. Before bed you triple check the cage doors to make sure they are securely closed 3. When all your friends are saving up money for the newest iPhone and you, on the other hand, are saving up money for a...
