Also take into consideration that some deceases that are normal to get as a rat, can potentiolly kill a chinchilla, you can avoid this by having them in separate rooms and ofcourse clean hands. But it doesn't guarantee it. I know of people that never had any trouble with it tho!

Alright, I'll add more feedings throughout the day then! Thank you both very much :)

Hello everyone! Background > One of my chins has a tumor next to his lungs, which makes eating food very painful for him, after talking about it with my vet I asked her if I could give him a mix of Critical Care from Oxbow and Recovery from Science Selective, she said I could try. This was 1...

I'd recommend either getting a metal or full plastic travel cage, they are not allowed to have plastic, but most don't chew that plastic one too much and they get more coverage from the wind than the metal one, though if you are handy with fabric, you could possibly make a cover for the metal...

Thank you so much for the reply! The time I found out about his tumor he got an x-ray and they also checked his teeth on top of that, so everything was fine. He indeed does not eat on his own, maybe a kibble or 1 strand of hay once in a while, but that's about it.. Also noticed today that it...

I really like the set up! I do want to suggest adding more ledges, because it's very easy to fall for them and if they do it can be a pretty big fall from what I can see if they so happen to fall in the middle. Just a little suggestion, other than that it really does look amazing ^~^

Hello everyone, My chinchilla has a tumor next to his lungs, which makes it hard for him to eat normal food, thus I need to hand feed him with a syringe.. Currently I am feeding him Critical Care from Oxbow and Recovery from Science Selective. I have been doing that for a month now and it's...

I suggest keeping their cages next to each other, once things settle down you can try the method of putting them together in a carrier. Just remember it can take several months for them to be ok with each other and once you do the carrier method, they might "fight" but as long as there is no...

Alrighty, thank you so much. Just wanted to try something new, but I'll stick to the kiln dried pine then~ Very annoying that with most things you can barely find it or it doesn't even tell you what it's made of ;l Currently I indeed have my cages tiled with on each level a pan ^`^ Works very...

Heyhey, I wasn't sure if this has been asked yet, but I have been searching for new bedding, but the only one I have found so far is Tumblefresh, is this one suitable? Because I have no experience with the brand at all, so I wanted to make sure..

I have a critter nation myself, but I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue after many years of owning it.. Mine started to wobble and I have no idea how I could possibly fix this? Sometimes it's squeeking due to one of the chins running on it's wheel. I haven't tried yet, but just...

I don't use a clicker myself, but I thought one of my chinchilla's (the other one I don't have a good enough bond with yet, still working on that) a couple of things like. "Come" "Take it"(Whenever I give a stick or something) "Gimme kiss"(He then presses nose against my lips) "Leave...

I am currently using a large fish bowl aswell, but my boy is very rough with rolling, so it still spills everywhere. What my cousin uses is a new cat litter box with a hood and door, she places it in the cage or floor during play time for about 30 minutes and then away, so they can't chew it...

I have the same issue, mine is on carpet and I have the wheels removed, because after 2 years of usage the wheels snapped off after rolling it away from the spot for cleaning. It was doing it both with and without the wheels.

Here are some sheets I found very handy, got them off facebook from a reliable group, hope this helps!
