I keep my room at an unwavering 66 in the summertime, though in winter it gets a bit colder in spite of my best efforts because this house I live in has no insulation and it does not like to warm up! Otherwise I try very hard to maintain my 66

Domovoi likes green clothing... doesn't matter what it is, a shirt, dress, if it's green he wants it. And the belt loop on the back of my jeans, he loves to tug on them, all the time

I'm pretty sure chins live to scare us. When I first got my chins I used to let them play in the bathroom until one of mine decided it would be fun to use the toilet to get up onto the sink and then dive off every chance he got. The day he slipped and bashed his face on the side of the bathtub...

They are a difficult species because they are sometimes painfully intelligent and incredibly stubborn. They learn about their environment by chewing, unfortunately it's not a safe way to learn. If the chinchilla has lots of hay, a good pellet diet, and lots of wood, then probably keeping it...

Awwww! I love chins in hammocks!

Last night I came into my room, and didn't get to giving the chins their treats right away. Made my bed, changed clothes, took care of a few other things and all around didn't do things in the proper order that I would normaly do things in. And all the while poor Domovoi is sitting there with...

I buy my wood in bulk online, and periodically give my boys a handful of fresh wood, in fact, I just did tonight. Domovoi the younger one, chews his wood down till there is absolutely nothing left, I have to keep him busy or he'll devour his shelves. The more things to chew the better!

My vet reacted the same way when I told him that I fed mine PRCS about two and a half years ago. I think 1 they tend to be very loyal to the brands, 2, they don't really know much about what we should be feeding our pets in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't recommend some of the brands...

I was using those bottles for one of my chins for a while, up until recently. I don't really understand how they work, but never had any dripping issues with it. Unfortunately one of my chins never figured out how to use it so I never could switch both of my boys to them. The other one had to...

He sure looks happy. My boys insist they can't live without their tubes. Not too sure I believe them, but that's what they would have a person belive

Oh I know! I'm a terrible person! Nice of them to be so forgiving of my having left though. I've always wondered why they stop and stare at me every little while when they're playing, maybe it's just to make sure I'm still where I belong

My chinchillas are in my bedroom. I had to get up early today to take care of a stupid issue with the post office. Then run to the next town over to buy dog food. I usually sleep in the morning and early afternoon, and am awake at night, and I don't change my schedule for much. I never imagined...

I recently got a nice bale of orchard grass from one of our local feed stores, next time I need hay I'll probably go for Timothy again if I can find it, but I am dealing with some picky eaters that literally get bored with their hay and stop eating it so I get whatever looks nicest no matter...

I don't know that I could choose one over the other. As far as the two chins I have go, I don't know that either of mine really fall under genuinely sweet though they aren't unfriendly. Certainly neither one snuggles, though suddenly Haltija likes the get scratched behind the ears and on the...

Kinda looks the way I always pictured the flesh eating dire chinchillas from the sims medieval game looking... Scary animals those
