does anyone have an update on the chin?...it's been about 2 months since the last time someone posted, but the thread owner didn't post any updates.

He's a beaut!

This morning i noticed my chin, Wall-E had soft poops in his cage. Before posting I went through a good amount of poop related threads but I couldn't find an answer cause they all seemed to point to excessive amounts of treats being given or poor quality food. Wall-E is STRICTLY on a no treat...

i have the same exact cage. at the time i purchased the cage i didn't know it wasn't safe for chins to have wire flooring. i looked into fleece lining and it works great. all i did was put a doubled up layer of fleece down on the wire floor. i also kept the bottom plastic pan (which needs to be...

yep. agreed. i work for petsmart and would LOVE to quit because i don't believe in anything the company stands for. fortunately i don't work with the public much cause im there when the store is closed cause i do stocking. it's appalling really how petsmart will overlook the health and well...

i recently switched to fleece after using carefresh as well. i was skeptical at first because i didn't like the idea of my chin soiling fleece cause it seems messier than soiling bedding. until i read about potty training chins. it's been about a week since i switched and my chin has gotten the...

hello everybody. i decided to make this topic due to unfortunate events that struck this morning. my little guy gets 2 hours of play time every day. 1 hour in the morning, and 1 hour in the evening. i usually let Wall-E out in the bathroom but i felt he is getting bored of the same old same old...

i was born and raised in hawaii, i was there my whole life up until 10 months ago i relocated to oregon. chinchillas are welcome in hawaii and fortunately they do not need to under-go quarantine unlike dogs and cats. i'm not sure about the big island but on kauai there are no big-time pet stores...

welcome back!

:update: wall-e soiled the bedding in his litter pan this morning!

im not an expert either and i've never known a chin to not want a dust bath. its how i get wall-e to go back into his cage..the dust is like a chin magnet. i know there are some very resourceful people on this site like AZ Chins, Tunes, and basket_of_chinchillas, hopefully one of them will see...

here's my little guy asleep in his cube! :dance3:

A lot of different people have their preferences. I'll use the same detergent I use for my normal laundry but I wait until I have a full load of chin laundry before I do it so when i do a load, its all chin Laundry. I'll use a little less detergent so it isn't as strong and if I have a small...

Thank you everyone for your input. I'll try leaving his pan in there and maybe I can get my little guy to get the hint. Hopefully he does, if not i guess I'll just have to wash his fleece more often. And I guess like Becky said, a week isn't that long. Thank you all again.

hello again, i recently switched to fleece liners for Wall-E's cage. i bought a small pyrex glass pan filled with bedding for him to do his business on. when i first tried to introduce him to the pan i added soiled bedding hoping he would get the hint. it's been about a week with no success at...
