    Healthiest diet for a chin?

    Thanks again everyone! I guess I'll just do some research on the best feeds available and see what I can come up with! Much appreciated!

    Healthiest diet for a chin?

    Thanks guys, I feed them oxbow chinchilla pellets, an organic supplement and organic hay with herbs from Fuzzies Kingdom... They have a massive cage with 6 shelves a couch a bed and a hut with tile flooring and an abundance of chew toys. I'm curious more along the lines of making their food...

    Dried Grains/Veggies?

    Thanks! I have (on occasion) given them an organic rolled oat as a treat, as I like to feed my chins the way I eat:) I was just curious about the other dried grains that I have purchased at Whole Foods, thanks for the input!

    Dried Grains/Veggies?

    Hello Everyone! I am wondering if there are any dried grains (such as quinoa, couscous, lentils, split peas, etc.) that are acceptable, or even healthy for my chins to eat? perhaps flax? Let me know your thoughts!

    dumbest thing your chin has ever done

    I'd have to say the "dumbest" (more of a hilarious and intentional) thing my chin has ever done was jumping directly on to my face while i was pulling tape off the box she wanted to chew on! She must've been upset that I was invading her play territory.

    Which is harder to take care of in general? A chin or a hedgie?

    I would say chins are more high-maintenance. Both require lots of poop picking-up. Hedgies are typically loners, where as chins will use you as their jungle gym. Chins also require A LOT of attention during play time due to their incessant chewing habits, whereas hedgies do not chew nearly as...

    Which hay do you like more?

    I (personally) don't like hay :P however, my chins went absolutely bonkers over the sample that fuzzies kingdom sent me with their supplement! Unfortunately, last I checked they won;t have any more available until September...

    How Long Is Your Playtime?

    Typically, I let my chins out 2 times a day, about an hour each time. Despite their 37.5 square foot cage, I find it necessary to let them out as frequently as possible... can you imagine having that much energy and being stuck in a cage all day and night? I also find that doing this promotes...

    Your preferred method of introduction and why?

    It is my personal belief that with every chin, this will play out differently. I started with cage next to a cage, and gradually let them spend playtime together each day. Don't get me wrong, at first Sidd would chase Maya who would then fur-slip and that would be the end of playtime. They...

    Saving on Shipping?

    Yes! I would love to know how much room is left (if any) because hat may very well be the deciding factor on me ordering more products!!!

    What chinchilla cage do you have and would recommend?

    I started out with what I assume was a rat cage(?) that the pet store recommended... however, I quickly upgraded to a Martin's Cage that has a base of 2 1/2' x 3' and is 5' tall... The chins love it! I covered some of the levels with tile so they do not hurt their feet. I even sew them things...

    What are the ages of chin owning members?

    I'm 18 and I got my first chin (saved her from a pet store!) when I was 17, and a few months later I adopted my second chin from an animal rescue... I'd be happy to have chins for the rest of my life! Perhaps another hedgie too:)
