    Kimchi throws most of her hay on the ground

    My girl Kana had been throwing her hay and peeing in it, too. I tried moving it to a different area of the cage and she stopped peeing in it, but still throws it everywhere. Teemo, our boy, is more neat about his eating, but honestly throwing hay just seems to be a chin thing. I have noticed...

    Playtime - out of cage?

    First of all, I love the layout of your cage and all of the accessories! My chins have playtime every night, no matter how tired I might be. They really need and enjoy it. We chin-proofed our bedroom and are currently working on an out of cage play area in there, but we also take them in the...

    chin colors

    I am planning on getting a white mosaic next, as that is my dream color of chin. I had originally planned for a white mosaic to be my first chin, but I fell in love with other babies before I found one! I also would like to get a violet, sapphire and blue diamond, while my fiancee is lobbying...

    How did your furbabies get their names?

    I am a huge geek and in love with Asian culture, so two of my three chinnies are named in other languages. My beige girl is named "Kana" after my favorite Japanese singer Nishino Kana. My ebony boy is named "Teemo" after a character from online video game League of Legends. Their daughter is...

    Location

    I live in the tiny, hot and grassless land of Roswell, New Mexico with three chinnies. Most people here don't even know what chinchillas are! I always have pictures ready for their "What's a chinchilla" question session! :hilarious:

    Pictures from Heartland Spring Field Day - May 18th

    Beautiful pics and awesome chinnies! I hope that I can go to a chin show one day, but since I'm in the middle of nowhere (New Mexico) I imagine it will be a while. Congrats to all the chinnies and their chin parents!

    Chin Toys for Cheap

    Hi! I would highly recommend AZChins (http://chinstore.azchins.com/). The supplies there are really high quality, prices are great and communication is also stellar. I have also bought my chins cages from there and they love them! I have also ordered from Chin World, Small Pet Select, Farmer...

    Petco Aspen Bedding vs Kaytee Cozy Clean Bedding

    I completely agree on the fleece bedding suggestion. Our chins love it, it works great (and safely) and it even adds to the personality of the cage. If you do go the wood shavings route, I suggest a place like tractor supply where you can get huge bags of chin-safe aspen for great prices. I use...

    Wheels..

    We have a chin spin in our main "mansion" cage and my chinnies are addicted to it! Mama chin Kana can't have a wheel while she takes care of baby, so every time we let them out to play, she runs right up to the cage with the wheel! All night long you also can hear our boy Teemo going crazy on...

    Causes of dry skin?

    Sorry for taking so long to reply and thanks for the suggestions. The bag balm is working well on Kana. It is definitely possible that too many dust baths could be the culprit. She's the kind of chin that loves a bath so much, she'll sneak into the dust any chance she can get. She just had her...

    Hello from a crazy Chinnie (and cat) lady!

    Pics! Hi everyone! Man, work has been crazy but I have finally gotten time to load up some pics of my babies! Here they are: dashing light ebony Teemo, lovely hetero beige Kana and (possibly) standard kit Hana! :hearts:

    Causes of dry skin?

    Hi fellow chinnie lovers! My girl Kana recently got diagnosed by the vet with dry skin on her toes and I got bag balm for it today. I had two questions, however. One, how long does it usually take to heal (I feel so bad for her! :cry2:). Two, what are the possible causes of this? She has no-pill...

    Hello from a crazy Chinnie (and cat) lady!

    Thanks! Thank you everyone for your warm welcome! I can tell that I am going to like this place! :thumbsup: Yes, Teemo and Kana are the parents of little Hana. She will likely be their only litter since Kana is getting up there in birthing years. What a little joy she is though! I will make...

    Hello from a crazy Chinnie (and cat) lady!

    Hi everyone at Chins N Hedgies! I am new to the forum and have to admit that I have been visiting quite a bit for the past couple of months. I'm somewhat shy, so it took me a while to finally register. I have three beautiful chinnies: a one-year-old light ebony male named Teemo, a...
