    Ceramics?

    Another quick question that has to do with safe homes, I've been seeing felt homes everywhere for chinchillas. I assume this is unsafe, but is it really? And yes, felt, not fleece.

    Ceramics?

    Awesome to hear, Amethyst, I will buy the ceramic feeder then! The ceramic house I found is essentially a giant clam shell so I think ventilation would be fine. And yes, don't worry I bought a box of tiles from Home Depot because 30 tiles were about the price of one chin chiller at petsmart so I...

    Ceramics?

    I know wire and plastic hay feeders are a no, but the only solution I can find to that is ceramic feeders. In my mind, I'm thinking the chins could chew on this and it will shatter. Is this a safe alternative or no? If it's not safe what kind of hay feeder should I use? Also would a ceramic...

    Which Scale and Dust?

    Okay, awesome. Thank you so much Amethyst for the help, I will look for Blue Beauty right away. And yes, you are correct they are completely sold out of it in my area!

    Which Scale and Dust?

    New-coming Chin Owner

    Hello! (and sorry if this is a lot of questions!) So for approximately 2 months I have been researching chinchillas and their care. Recently I contacted a very reputable breeder and they are sending me three females in about to weeks. All of them are listed as "show quality" and I would really...

    Etsy Grooming Comb

    Hello Amethyst! I do not actually have my chinchillas yet, but I should be receiving them in approx two weeks. I contacted a breeder and I've picked out 3 "show quality" females to start out with, and I really hope to attend some shows with them. It is something I am highly interested in and I...

    Etsy Grooming Comb

    Hello, I am looking for grooming combs for my chinchillas, but the only one I can find is on etsy. And this comb doesn't look like the ones I have seen on youtube. Has anyone actually used this comb? Does it work? If not does anyone know where I could buy a couple of actual chinchilla combs...
