I was wondering if someone could explain the difference about these chinchillas because the standard grey Persian ones look identical to my boy except for the tail. Is this what sets them apart from regular chins or are their other differences? :) just interested since this is the first I've...

Carl makes this noise a few nights a week. I normally just call out to him and tell him he's ok and he stops. Sometimes he'll make the noise again though. If he does it more than twice, I'll get up, open his cage and give him lots of scritches and pet him and talk to him. It drives my boyfriend...

Carl always like to chew on my hair. If I get close enough to the cage or I stick my head in, he grabs strands and chews them, he'll even dig over my glasses to get to my eyebrows and eyelashes! I just pull back and give him scritches to distract him 😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My chin Carl does this every now and again at night. I think they hear something that startles them. Something maybe we can't here? Or they're just being brats :P I wouldn't worry too much. I use to get up to check on him and each time he'd be sitting there like "what do you want?" So now I just...

Thank you so much guys! When I first got him he use to make this squeaking sound almost like a creaking door but he no longer makes it. Now it's a keck. When he does it he tends to shake his head which is why I had originally thought it was a sneeze. He also does this if I've just painted my...

I'm almost positive now that the sound Carl makes every now and then during the nights is a Kacking. I'll get up and check on him but I'm not sure what's causing him to make the sound. I know he can hear stuff I can't, and we have a cat who likes to run around during the night as well so he...

I plan on taking Carl to the vet relatively soon. I want them to check his eyes and mouth as much as they can. If anybody has ever had their chins eyes and mouth looked at (including x-rays) could you tell me what the vet did? How did they sedate the chin, what did the exam consist of, and a...

His eye is now back to normal. I'm not really sure if he truly has a watery eye but regardless of if it is or isn't, he will be getting a visit to the vet at the beginning of the year. My sisters a Vet Tech and I texted her right away. She doesn't work with exotics but she advised me to make an...

I hate to write this but it seems at this time i may need some help. Ive already made up my mind to call the vet as soon as i possibly can and get carl in for an appointment but around the hoildays its the worst with everybody being off for the holidays. Carl had some serious white discharge...

So cute!! Love his coloring btw! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some more photos ive taken of Carl. I didn't use flash mostly because 1. It washes out everything and 2. Carl hates it. So I did try and brighten them but they still might be a bit dark :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay! I'll remove the ramps then. I'll have to keep the middle one only because there's no way right now for him to make his way InBetween the 2 levels. Thanks for the tips!! :D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So here's Carl's new cage! I love it! It was hard putting it together and I did need a hammer to fix some things that were bent but I had read comments that people have gotten some of there's bent too so I was prepared! It took him awhile for him to even realize that he had 2 more levels to go...

Thanks! 😄 I never worried about it but I wondered if any others did this. It always made me smile to see him snuggle his way up against the cage lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Carl does this a lot. Just wondering if anybody's chins do this as well. He normally does it after playtime. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
