Yes... I thought about them too after I pondered this situation for the entire evening. I don't go to them so sometimes I forget that they have a decent exotic practice.

I decided not to watch these chinchillas. Partially because I have some other things going on in my life but my gut reaction was that it was a bad idea. I think that everyone here confirmed that it wasn't really a good idea. Thanks everyone for you input. I started to feel like I was...

I would consider making her have him neutered but I have a few concerns. #1 Is he too young? (I don't have males, so I don't know). #2 I don't know if there are experienced vets around for a chin neuter. My vet cares for my chins and he's owned chinchillas himself but I don't think he regularly...

My fiancee tried to convince her not to get any more chins after the first one died. So I doubt that she would listen to me. Even as I have been exchanging emails with her she doesn't seem to grasp how serious I think the situation is because I don't think she feels the same way. She just...

Well, I am very torn about this because she had a chinchilla before this who I baby sat for a week or two and that one died because she went on a week vacation and left the chin in her house with no air conditioning and it happened to be a very hot week where it was like upwards of 90-100...

We are in Pennsylvania. She told me that if they did have babies she would just sell them to recoup the costs of the two she bought and then separate them. I personally don't agree with that and clearly she is taking the idea of pregnancy very lightly. Since I have refused to take them at this...

Yes, I found that out in my preliminary research of chinchilla pregnancy which I passed along to her.

I don't think that helps because what if she is pregnant now. I guess assuming that the vet can verify that she is not pregnant but what does she do if she is pregnant? She still needs someone to care for them. BTW I will be keeping the chins from May 21 until the first or second week in August...

I have an acquaintance who asked me to babysit her chinchillas while she was out of state to complete a portion of her college education. I agreed but I just found out tonight that the chinchillas are a male and female living together in the same cage. I then refused because I know nothing about...

Love ordering for CA Bird Nerds been doing so for the last year or 2.

I have only had it for a few days. Our normal vacuum is a Dyson and we have to take it in for maintenance once a year and my fiancee ends up taking it apart and and declogging the hose. So I wouldn't expected anything different from this one, I think I have pretty much excepted that the hose...

I thought I would post this incase anyone is interested but I recently purchased a mini-shop vac just for my chin room. I found it at Wal-Mart for $19. We live on three floors and the chins are on the 3rd floor and I could never justify multiple vacuum cleaners but this is the right price for...

My dog also loves to eat chin poos. I think she sees them as a little snack. She also eats the hay on the floor and will also steal sticks and hay from their cages if they hang out a little bit. There is nothing funnier than seeing my dog with hay hanging from her mouth like Huckleberry Finn...

I would post pictures of mine. Except I am overhauling the cages really soon. I am going to start planning.

That is so funny and cute!
