    Still here!

    Hey guys, just popping in to say my boys (Nibbler and Kolchak) are doing wonderful. Feeding time consist of them climbing out of the cage and sitting on my shoulders while I get their pellets and hay. (Don't worry it's all right next to the cage so there is very limited movement from me while...

    Frustration

    I'm watching her carefully and making sure she has everything she could possibly want. Poor girl. I may end up bringing her home. Especially if she is pregnant. We're lavishing attention on her and she's responding well. She's friendly and curious and has let me hold her and pet her several...

    Frustration

    I'm still upset about the fingers, to be honest. I realize chins do it to themselves, or other chins do it...or accidents happen. But, I really just can't stop myself from laying blame at the foot of the pet store. I really can't. She let me hold her and examine her, and so I know they aren't a...

    Frustration

    I'm hoping her size denotes youth. Otherwise, she's TINY, especially in comparison to my boys I have at home. 111-120? Okay, thank you! I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on the little one. She is such a sweety, especially since it seems she had a rough start.

    Frustration

    So, the science learning resource center I work for has a chinchilla, which is great. But, the poor thing was sexed wrong by the pet shop and had been kept in a cage with a male at the store. AND is missing two fingers. She's pretty young judging by the size. So, I'm just...ugh. My question is...

    Kolchak and Nibbler

    Here's a better picture of them together. You won't believe it but little Nibbler now outweighs Kolchak by almost 100 grams! I didn't realize how much he had grown since Kolchak had come home with us.

    Kolchak and Nibbler

    A picture of the two this morning. Apparently Nibbs thought Kolchak's bed was the best place to sleep. (Yeah, using carefresh atm, I have an upper respiratory infection so pine and aspen are out until I'm over it :( They aren't eating it, just randomly picking it up and tossing it through the...

    Kolchak and Nibbler

    It looks like I've finally introduced the two without issue! They are living in the same cage and only going through mounting behavior rituals. But they are behaving and actually grooming each other and when Nibbler hops on my shoulder while I'm changing their food, Kolchak and him sing to each...

    Bed or Saucer? you decide!

    I don't have a wheel. Nibbler was too...uh..."special" to use his wheel properly. So I just took it out. (He kept getting stuck behind it.) He's perfectly happy without it.

    Feet

    Thanks guys! I didn't see it today, but I was in town. I'll look at the farm stores tomorrow.

    Feet

    It's been really really cold here, and of course running the heater inside makes it dry as all get out. I've noticed that both Nibbs and Kolchak's feet are a little dry and cracked, what can I put on them to make sure that they stay healthy and not start going into bumble foot or chapped feet?

    Guinea pigs

    Is there a good forum or site with information on guinea piggies? My boss has some and I want to make friends with them.
