Thanks! I've got plenty of ideas brewing for them, now :idea:

I was at menards today, and I noticed their large selection of wooden dowels. I new that they would make fun ledges that would give my chins something other than flat surfaces to walk on, but I wasn't sure if they were safe. After looking on their website, I found that they were either made of...

Kira is so beautiful :heart4: I wish I had an ebony, they're so cute!

Aww! How precious :heart5: :heart5: :heart5:

Make sure it is drinking enough water, atleast a couple ounces a day. Put their water bottle in an easy to reach place, and monitor the amount gone each day in the morning. They are most active at night and that's when they should drink the most. If they don't seem to be drinking water, I...

Scrap the cardboard Cardboard will get very smelly quickly, so I would recommend using just a thick fleece lined with multiple layers so the wire won't hurt their feet. Put it through the wash a couple of times (Don't use laundry detergent, that will make it lose its absorbency) and it should...

I would say 14" is ok as long as the chinchilla using it isn't very large, so this means those wheels with do just fine. The high-quality chinspin is only a bit more expensive compared to these other two, so I think it's worth it to get your chin the best.

Didn't work Yeah, when I clicked the link, there was an error and the page didn't show up :hmm:

I'm just glad the poor chins were rescued and are doing better! Thank goodness! There are just some terrible people in this world :cry3:

If you want them to be together, it is very important that one of them is fixed. It's probably a better choice to fix the male because they have a higher survival rate compared to females who are spayed. The process is usually less invasive for males. Be sure you wait over 8 weeks after the...

Gently Petting is great for bonding, and as long as you are doing it gently by rubbing your finger against a their head or chin (avoid using your nails) they will be perfectly happy with the attention they are getting. You want to be careful while handling Bubba because their bones are quite...

Probably Natural My oldest (around five years old) sheds in small amounts consistently, and it's usually little strands that stick out above the rest of the fur that comes out easily when pulled. Whenever we have playtime, she enjoys when I gently use my fingers to pull any loose fur from her...

My babe Minnie also gets super excited during playtime. When she sees the carrier, she'll stand up against the door and hop up and down. She also loves to let me scratch her head and chin, plus she loves resting on my shoulder :)

I had gotten my two newest chinchillas off of craigslist because I was having a very difficult time finding other resources to get some. The cage in the add looked very promising and it appeared to be a critter/ferret nation, which got me excited! When we received everything, I not only...

Time is important for chinchillas who come from difficult situations. Zoey seems to be just frightened and not used to human contact. I'm glad you are spending time with her as often as possible, but I would start slow. Don't try holding her, start just petting her and letting her explore your...
