Hi everyone, I sadly lost my two chinchillas last year and I'm ready to get some more so I contacted a rescue that had 5 female chinchillas that live together that are looking for homes. I had wanted to adopt a pair but they've already homed a pair and they have three left so I said I'd take...

Thank you for the tile suggestion, I actually have a large leftover tile from renovating the bathroom that I can use. Between that and the wood and a little bit of fleece to cover a gap it will all be covered. I might get some tiles that will fit the whole floor at some point in the future.

Hi everyone, I recently got a new cage for one of my chinchillas that i'm setting up for her, however it has a wire floor which definitely looks unsafe to me. I've been trying to figure out the best way to cover it and I just can't figure it out. I have a wooden ledge that will cover about 2/5...

Hi everyone, I still have my two rescue chinnies, Cinnamon and Vanilla, that I got as babies. It was their 8th birthday yesterday 🎂. Sadly they had to be separated three years ago due to a big fight but the bullied one seems much happier by herself. The attacker isn't so happy by herself but I...

Hi Airyn thanks for the reply! Thankfully she's easy to catch, she runs straight up to me, it's just restraining her that she hates xD That burrito tutorial will definitely come in handy! Both of my chinchillas hate being restrained, they're definitely free spirits! One is just more bitey when...

Hi everyone. One of my chinchillas can't open one of her eyes, there doesn't seem to be much discharge or anything so I think she might have scratched it or something so she's going to the vets tomorrow. However my chinchilla hates being handled and has bitten me a couple of times before for...

Thank you so much for the advice! Ya only one attacked the other, i'm glad you told me this i'd hate to put another chinchilla at risk! I was told that because they are 5 they won't get along with female chinchillas, would be great if I could bond the victim with a young female instead of...

Hi everyone, I have two female chinchillas that are sisters, i've had them since they were 3 months old and they're now 5 years old. A few months ago they had a huge fight and blood was drawn so I separated them. They seem very lonely and depressed since this incident and I was wondering about...

Just wanted to say I haven't seen Cinnamon, the chin who was attacked, this happy for a long time. She's eating more hay, she's sleeping more soundly, she's more active and popcorning. Makes me kind of glad I separated them. Vanilla the attacker is very depressed and attention seeking on the...

I know this is always a situation to be prepared for, in fact I just had to split up one of my guinea pigs from a trio as well. It's just sad, thank you all for your help! I will take her to the vet in the morning and leave them separated as I really don't want any more injuries. It will be sad...

Having said that there was a lot of fur pulled out and a tiny mark on her nose so it is likely that the bleeding is from a bite as well :(

The wound is in a very weird place it's around the armpit of a front leg, seems an unusual place to me, they've had squabbles and the odd nip to the ear before, usually because the less dominant one doesn't want to be groomed by the other as much as they want. When I went in to check on them...

I don't understand it though, literally and hour before they were cuddled up as usual all happy, they do everything together :/ Can giving them new cage toys cause fights? because yesterday I gave them a new wooden house in their cage, that's the only difference I can think of. Should I not try...

Hi, My two female chinchillas just had a fight, I heard distress calls and went in to find fur everywhere and one chinchilla hiding from the other. The other was trying to check on her but the one in hiding was very angry. So I separated one in the top half of the cage and one in the bottom...

Hi all, I accidentally bought lemon scented wood shavings today for my chinchillas litter pan >__< I don't know if these are suitable at all, would you say these are bad? Thanks :)
