I just got my male a week and a half ago and he is about the same age.. I notice his sticks out just a teeny bit, only noticeable if you look close. He has never been checked for a hair ring that I know of, is this something I should be worried about as well?
Today was cleaning day for Chuck's cage and I had to put him in his travel cage while doing so. I first attempted at putting it inside his big cage with some hay in it and he wouldn't go in for anything. So I had to resort to picking him up as he was investigating my hands. He was not happy...
I just got Chuck last Thursday and he has been doing great! Although this morning I noticed something on his tail, which is white on the end half. There was a brownish color that looked like it dried a few clumps of hair together. I had just given him a bath yesterday and he was completely...
Chuck decided to wall surf all over the place and in his attempt to jump on top of his wood hidey house he miscalculated his jump and went head first into the side. I couldn't help but laugh! He was a little embarrassed and stayed in his hidey house where I couldn't see him for a while.

Here is my little guy Chuck. I had to wait a while to bring him home because he was still with mommy but I just picked him up last night! He is an ebony mosaic and I love his markings, especially his tail. These pictures aren't the greatest but I thought I would post on here to show everyone.
All standard pine at menard's is kiln dried. If it makes you feel better just ask the manager at the front of building materials and he/she will confirm it. I used to work at menards in high school and buy all wood for my chin shelving there. The boards are very reasonably priced.
Most soft wood should be fine to use if it hasn't been treated for at least 5 years. My recommendation would be to buy standard pine boards from menards. They are cheap and all pine sold there is kiln dried. Unless you don't have the tools to cut and install the wood this is probably your...
I use a large colored wood chew block that is made for birds from foster and smith online. It is very long and wide and lasts for forever. Great for a chin chew toy at a reasonable price!
