Yes, I saw the deposit and they didn't have appointments for days. I have seen many people ask for money for their pet appointment on nextdoor.com so I wonder if people show up that can't pay. I wonder how many people make appointments made are no-show. Recently I had to make (human)...

Hello, we live by St. Paul! I have had chillas for a long time. We bring ours to Como Park for emergencies, but to Cedar Pet Clinic in Lake Elmo #651-770-3250. It's not really that far and they are great. Dr. Bailie is partially retired, but very knowledgeable. My sister brought their geriatric...

we have the kabobs too. our chilla loves them and it keeps toys clean as none of ours will touch a toy after it hits the floor. But... just a few things... the sweet beastie we have now has figured out how to unscrew the piece that connects it to the cage, and was playing with the screw, which...

We had joy of having 2 chillas for awhile. They greeted each other by smelling breath... I breathe into the cage like I'm trying to fog glass. Precious barrels over and sniffs with head back like she's smelling popcorn popping. Then wants a scratch behind ears. She lays one down then other then...

We used to get food from Ryerson Chinchilla. I called all over and can't get it. So switch to oxbow. Precious throws it on the floor. Tried Walmart food while I search the whole USA for original food. Floor again... We ordered Mazuri. Floor, ugh. She did seem to start eating it a little. I don't...

I used to think she wanted to play with me. In April, 4 nights in a row, Precious barked at 230 am. She didn't bark the 5th.... The 4th day, we found 1/2 of Mr. Bunny, our yard cottontail. He was eaten by a coyote. We still miss the bunny. he lived under a tree about 4 years.I think Precious...

Thanks!

Hello, bought kaytee for over 15 years, all brown and 4" long. I heard of kms hayloft through this C&H. I've been buying kmshayloft.com 2nd cut Timothy and asking them for a sample of orchard grass. It is green, long stems and smells like fresh cut grass! It has stems, leaves, and seedtops...

I didn't see a picture, could you/ did you post one? Is it only on ears? I have had ringworm on 2 of my chillas. It DOES NOT look like it does on a human. (Circle of tiny blisters with dry in center on humans it itches like mad)

Have to ask... Thought wood was ok after 5 years no chemicals. Would the new growth be contaminated too? If so can a tree be planted for the purpose of branch harvest? I've heard mulberry tree is OK too. They grow fast and are "weeds" here. I've dried leaves for years and call them "cookies"...

Hello, just quick about alfalfa... It has too much calcium as a main food source and can cause bladder stones, which need to be removed surgically on chillas. Timothy hay is the way to go. I have peeled and hand fed "crispy not crunchy" to my little beasts. They are like 2 year olds and like...

Ryerson has best carrier my vet has seen. Our "to go box" has room for 2 and handle on top I seatbelt in. I just call Jan at Ryerson Chinchilla directly to do orders. (419)687-1071. My little Houdini has learned to open it. So I use a twist tie to remedy. She also loves the radio... Classical...
