I wasn't given anything else from the vet no advise on loss of appetite or separating him 😢, would he have to be in a separate room or just cage

I've just had our 8 year old chinchilla teddy to the vets, and told he has a respiratory infection, he has antibiotics for 2 weeks which he started today, he looks very poorly was eating to today when he's eaten very little a couple of oat groats then just layed next to his food. Can anyone...

Thanks tins yes there now on ox bow essentials not quite there yet but she's getting there 😊

Update Doris is loads better now her patches have nearly gone she still has half an ear lol but she's come on loads she's so sweet too. Thanks for all the advise 😊

Thank you I feel a lot better now knowing that she's ok fingers crossed she stops but I've heard that once they start it's hard for them to stop 🤔 She's def not the most attractive with half an ear and patchy fur but she's so loving bless her she loves siting on kids head lol. She is very cute...

Think I'll have a look in Amazon never even thought of there to be honest there's not a lot of local pet stores and out of those only half sell anything for chinchillas. My daughters took carrots out this morning but said there was only a couple in there. But I'll look at changing it.

I bought this as they were being fed a supermarket branded rabbit musli and wanted something different from pellets to gradually introduce that wasn't too far from the musli there used to , I thought that it seemed a good option to be honest and once it's opened it looks like mainly hay with...

We've only had them 2 weeks and there now being fed natures touch chinchilla food we mixed it at first but they just picked out the new stuff and left there old food! So we just started giving them new stuff. I've seen mum eating and she takes treats and hay. The problem is I think she's getting...

Hi my daughter has recently got 3 new chinchillas mum and 2 daughters the age of them is unknown or there back ground. The lady she got her from has had them a year and that's about as much as we know, when they arrived they were in a very small cage and fed on tesco rabbit food no hay and there...

We'll Frankie is doing much better than he was thank you everyone maybe chins can have some off days like us!! They are still caged together at min. They still have a few moments but nothing like they did. I've found if they start I've gone over to cage and told them no and walked away they do...

I have a fleece lining on bottom of my chins cage. Have to say best thing I did no more shavings all over the floor and sofa:) still occasional poop though lol. Both mine seem happy with it neither try and eat it or pull it up (yet!!!)

So back to square one don't know of he's just fed up with Benny!! But they have had play time tonight and been fine...
