All water bottles are sold!

I have fleece for my rescue cages (6 double FNs), and the rest of my cages/runs are on shavings. While I like the fleece, I seem to be constantly washing it, vacuuming up poos, changing it out. With me having a rescue, there's people coming by all the time, so it doesn't only have to look...

Oh ok, that makes sense. It's always possible the pet store had her with a male -- many of them have no idea how to sex chins, or really, any of their small animals. Do you have a gram scale you can use to weigh her? If you do, any chance you weighed her when you got her, so maybe you have...

How much weight has she gained? Do you know? If you have a male chin and she's been around him, you should be prepared for her to be pregnant. And, in my personal opinion, a you seem like maybe you should do a bit more research before any more breeding goes on, especially if you don't have...

Hi all, NWI Chinchilla Rescue has some chins looking for forever homes. These are all rescues: Snickers -- 5 year old standard grey female -- born 4/21/2009 -- was a breeder before she came to the rescue after a few homes -- friendly but barks when you go to pick her up -- good "first chin"...

Pic 13 (chin safe item is the bowl - $1) Pic 14 - 16 oz plastic water bottles -- ok if your chin doesn't chew plastic -- $1 each Pic 15 -- dusters - $1.50 each

I used to list these sort of used items on my webstore, but the time spent listing them versus the money made.... not worth it. So I'm listing them here for a short period of time before they all get recycled or pitched (except food bowls/water bottles). I also have items for other animals...

Would that be the ECBC Breeder? I don't belong to ECBC and the shows aren't close enough for it to be practical that I join... would anyone be nice enough to somehow scan it for me or somehow otherwise get me a copy?

I think what's driving me the most nuts about this is the posts from people on facebook about how the chinchillas were rescued from "those horrible tiny cages." I have my large double FNs for the rescue chins, and I have my runs. I mean, how else would you keep large numbers of chins for...

If you don't like the sound of them chewing, IMO, chinchillas are not the pet for you. They are rodents, they have continuously growing teeth and NEED things to chew on to wear them down. Wood is the #1 thing they chew on. Nothing else is going to wear their teeth down as good as wood...

Wow. I really don't know enough to comment about your chinny's problems, but I can recommend a probiotic. This is the one I use http://www.gnc.com/Nutrition-Now-Pro-Biotics-Acidophilus/product.jsp?productId=2134397 - 14 billion live bacteria. I've always bought it from GNC, they usually have...

Got an email this morning from someone with questions on chins... and most of em I could handle, but then they asked, could a chin have dried organic lemongrass leaf (like from a herb store)? That I don't know. I've never heard of it used, but then, I've learned a lot of new things on here...

I use pine bedding & shredded paper bedding. Due to allergies and asthma of my own, I try to stay away from pine, but that's not always possible. I frequent rat, guinea pig, rabbit boards/sites as well, due to occasionally getting those animals in at the rescue... seems part of the reason (as...
