oh, I totally forgot he's a rodent! I mean all rodents should be caged all the time, never let free, never left to explore. It's like animals in a zoo right? Just because they have always been in a cage they should always stay in a cage.. even if you can SEE that they are miserable. he begs to...

He is healed and back to his normal crazy self. As far as have i changed my view about allowing him to free roam? absolutely not. I have changed my mind about how careless I was with wires. To me it's really quality of life. Horton is not happy in his cage. I wouldn't want to live in a cage...

well, sunday night Horton finds a wire, how he reached it to bite it is beyond me. BUT he ended up biting it in half, causing the wire to explode (bang, and bright light) followed by the smell of burning hair. poor little horton had burnt whiskers, burnt mouth, black teeth, and he was just...

yet we do it all the time, and have never come home to him getting in any trouble. he just hangs out in the middle of the floor looking around. I've learned that no chinchillas are the same. I read things online and he ends up being polar opposite. what is right for you and your chin may not be...

sigh, such a little jerk sometimes.

he does eskimo kisses too :) hes gets so happy you get little happy squeaks with it. so loving<3

I have one chin and if we're home he is out running around.. even if we leave for an hour or less he is still out (everytime we leave him out we come home to him sitting in the middle of the floor looking around, wondering where everyone went). I don't think he would be happy in his cage all the...

it was one of those moments when you actually had the camera at the perfect time. it was priceless :)

im 100% positive that he is a male.. and i've seen him pee a million times. he was defintely spraying, there was even a weird sound while he did it.. thanks for the experience sandi! i have a fleece on the back of the cage but he did this right out the front.. and i would have a very upset...

this morning when i was making breakfast i look over and see horton spray urine out the front of his cage. i looked it up and all the internet says is he is protecting himself and feels intimidated.. this cant be.. there was nothing going on, i was not near him, hes never done it before. any...

What a cutie!

oh my, ADORABLE!

Horton has this new thing that we discovered when we were sick and had blankets all the time last week. if there is a blanket around he will put his chin on it and fall asleep. If you lift the blanket he will nuzzle in and cuddle up with you and fall asleep. all this time i've wanted more...

haha believe me he did use to try. I had to always watch him at first he wanted to taste EVERYTHING. now he doesnt chew walls or furniture he mostly just likes to climb the couch or the computer desk and see how high up he can get. He gets free reign of his dust bath which he loves. He likes to...
