Looks great! Have to steal the idea.

Mine been together for 7 months, they are 1 1/2 (Chichi) and 1 (Charlie) years old. Twice I noticed the older one chase the younger one. They always slept together, but after the first time Charlie slept down in the FN182. I closed the cages with an extra divider, because I thought, better save...

I am relatively new here, but I would definitely take her to the vet. That doesn't sound good. Also I wouldn't take her out, so she can get used to her surroundings first. This ia a great forum withs lots of info. Good luck, I hope it all works out.

I am curious what the answers will be. Mine do the same thing and it does look so uncomfortable. I even checked out all the pictures in the FN club so I could see where others hung their water bottles.

How sad her life was... I can't understand why people get pets and tread them that way. My daughters teacher has chinchilla's as classroom pets, they seem to have it better than the rescue you took in, but still being stuck in the tiny cages, nothing close to chinchillas living envioments. I...

It took one of mine 4 months to figure it out. In the beginning he could only run for a minute and had to rest. He can run longer now, but is still no where close to the time the other one can run on it. I guess, just like people they have to increase their fitness level over time.

So sorry for your loss. Cadbury looks so cute, he will steal your heart in no time.

My chin Charlie has the same problem with splitting and broken off whiskers. He only has it happening on one side. Looks really weird. I noticed that they rub against the doors in their wood house, but I also have second chin that might be the culprit, too. Might be worth looking around the cage...

Oh how cute! In the third picture - the shadow from the circle make it looks like horns grew behind the ears. ;)

I have two chinchillas. One loves it and runs like crazy. Sometimes when he is running full speed the other one (still has no clue after 2-3 months) jumps one it, because of that, the first flys off and always has this aahhhh help me look. Charlie runs both ways also.

Before I got my chins I had several dreams about them. I don't remember a specific one, but it seemed like, that chinchillas was all I could think and dream about. Maybe searching every free minute about them and checking out almost every breeders web side I could find online, had a influence of...

I have one that does it, too. They are so cute.

Mine are in the living room, too. They can see the TV perfectly. They both sit on the top of a tunnel and have their paws on a shelf in front of them. It looks like they are really paying attention. Not sure, if they do it, because they like the TV or they sit there to make sure there is not...

Yeah, don't let it bother you! I am totally agreeing with everything being said. You want to make sure they are going to a good home, 50$ is more than a ok price. I was willing to pay 100 for a rescue and thought, even that was a fair price. If they don't want to spend money at all, how will...

It had happened to me, too. Called them up and they said tohe same thing - we will send them, no charge. Waited two weeks and they never came. Called again and they finally arrived a week later. This seems to happen to a lot of people, you would think, they learn and would wrap them better...
