    Chin making weird noise.

    My female chin Squeaker​ has been making a weird noise. It sounds like a cat trying to cough up a hair ball. She's been doing it since I got her almost a year ago. I took her to the vet for a check up and about the only thing I learned that day was that Squeaker is a female. When we bought her...

    Improper care of chinchillas!!

    Thank you for the input I'm going to have to do something. I think about those poor animals every time I look at mine. I think the cage is at least 2x2x2 but considering that they don't get out much for play time I just feel it's cruel. The school is probably to hot now that it's winer. Also...

    What do you think about the bass pans? Do they have higher sides?

    What can I do to keep mess in the cage?

    I just received my FN. The pans do not have very high sides and when I woke up today there was a ton of bedding on the floor around the cage. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Adopting from craigslist?

    I bought 2 black velvet brother chins off Of Craig's list for 200$ with a decent cage and supply. Unfortunately the friendliest brother died from cancer about 6 weeks later. The older brother is doing good though. 300$ is way to much. During my search for my chins I came across a lot of over...

    Introducing 2 chins

    I bought 2 chins a few months ago, the youngest brother died from cancer. I recently rescued another chin. So the first night I put my new chin Chewy in his new area alone. The second day they had play time together for 2 hours no fights just sniffing and a little chasing. Then they had a few...

    Ferret Nation or Critter Nation?

    I have recently adopted 1 chin and rescued another they both are in separate cages and the cages are taking up to much room. I'd like to buy a stacked cage but still be able to keep them separate for the time being. I'm having a hard time deciding between the FN and the CN. Any suggestions would...
