My girls are about 5 months. Both will step up in my hand to get a treat and greet me when I open their cage door. But, they don't want me to try to scratch around their ears/head. How do I get them to realize they might enjoy the scratching?
Sorry if this picture is not straight, but it was enough trouble to get it in here! ;) We are new to chins and this is our new CN. We are waiting on some custom fleece items to arrive, and a wheel once they are older. Looking for some good toy sources though . . .
I have a CN that I ordered bass pans for.
Will the plastic pans fit inside the bass pans? Trying to decide what type of fleece to buy. The envelope style that goes around he plastic pans .... Or just fleece to sit on top of the bass pans. I mainly got the bass pans to try to contain some poop.
I started researching and learned about the lethal gene. Glad to know if this female is pregnant it won't kill her.
The woman rehoming said she "never tried to breed them", yet they've been together for 6 months. So I should assume that the female could be pregnant?
A local person is rehoming a mosaic male and Wilson white female. They have been housed together so I know there is a good chance the female will be pregnant.
I am not farmiliar with chinchilla genetics, but doesn't a white to a mosaic or other white kill the mother?
I am considering one or...
I have two 4 month old females in a double critter nation.
After about 2 days their cage smells like urine just when I walk by. It is currently fleece lined and I have a litter box with newspaper pellets I think. I know they don't use the litterbox religiously but they do pee in it sometimes...
I have 2 4 month old female chins, sisters.
I have the opportunity to add another 4 month old female.
Do younger chins get along better? I know I would still have to do a slow introduction - just hoping the chances of them getting along better would be in my favor because of their age...
