    We need wood!

    My house beavers informed me their supply is getting far too low, looking for a small/med box of mixed sticks and twigs. Any mix is fine as my girls do not discriminate, all wood is devoured equally. PM with with a price and Ill get back to you, if not tonight then tomorrow. Thanks!!!!!

    Oh Dear.....

    Oh yea, I yanked all the bedding out of the cage as soon as we got home from the ER. I change it daily and shop vac it multiple times a day. I also put her back on the Metacam since its anti-inflamitory. I just didnt want to give that to her for too long as I worry about doing damage to her...

    Oh Dear.....

    Hoping if I post here that it will bump this up. Berry was really sluggish when this first happened, and then her finger got kind of scabby, but it was not red nor swollen and there was no discharge. She was on Batryl since this happened, but it said 10 days so I stopped giving it to her two...

    Chinchilla Frosting Accident!

    Blueberry jumped into a bowl of ice cream a long time ago, ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. I just cleaned her off with some unscented baby wipes and her dust took care of the rest. I also learned never to open her cage to say hello while holding a bowl of ice cream.

    Oh Dear.....

    Ive done all of the above :) Thanks guys :) We went to the ER vet when it happened and got Batryl and Metacam for her, I took all the shavings out and fleeced her cage and I have been changing it daily. Its been two days now and no redness or swelling, although she chews on it more than I would...

    Oh Dear.....

    Yes, I was more concerned because there is bone showing, and I read that if the bone is showing they can get a nasty infection in the bone itself. Surgery would be a last resort for me, I was just wondering about any suggestions other than make sure it stays clean. Do you think as long as I keep...

    Oh Dear.....

    Through an honest mistake of the husband, little Blueberry got the tip of a finger bitten off by Mela. There is bone exposed. We just got back from the ER vet with some Batryl (oh no not again) and Metacam for her pain. They put Gluture on her finger (which she has been constantly chewing at, so...

    Colour vs personality

    This was interesting. I only have two so my experience is only with them. My Standard girl is very laid back and well behaved she is very loving and sweet.... my Ebony... well.... she marches to her own tune and I dont think she is the brightest crayon in the box LOL. She is clumsy, ditzy and...

    Emergency/Exotic Vet in South Jersey area?

    I live up closer to Mt.Zion Chins (trenton area) and contacted her for a recommendation as well. I can tell you NOT to go to Yardville Animal Hospital. If you have an emergency situation, North Star is a 24 hour emergency vet in Robbinsville and I have heard nothing but great things about them...

    Not sure what to do

    Sorry youre having a rough time. I second the answer above. I had to do a crash course in feeding one of my girls a few weeks ago, and it is stressful. It can be done though. Just make a chin burrito and go for it. I wish you all the luck in the world. Just know, force feeding gets easier after...

    Why won't he go into his hammock?

    Tubes are the top spot in my house too. Every once in a while I find a poo in their hammocks, but not often. So they dont stay in there long if they go on them at all.

    Preparing For A Play Date

    It needs to be in separate rooms. I would be leary of this myself, as your chin is most certainly going to act differently in a situation where it is not at home, and with a stranger around. If your chin is extremely territorial, thats not going to go over well when you get them back home and...
