so i would rather just let my chinchilla have his playtime in my bedroom instead of our chin room because it has more space and its easier for me. of course i would chin proof the room blocking wires. the only thing im worried about is his cage wont be availible to him anymore during playtime...

so zooky has an FN and every night i hear him crying. it sounds like hes running on his wheel (silver surfer) and falling. im not sure because everytime i go and check hes laying down on one of his shelves acting normal. i guess the silver surfers running surface is slippery and a little small...

yeah im sure because hes peed on the shelves before

so when i went in to clean zookys cage i found some droplets of blood in a few areas. i know at night i hear noise and hear zooky cry but everytime i check on him he seems fine. so when i found the blood i checked his paws and body but found no damage what so ever. and he was as playful as...

i havent switched yet, i probaby will this afternoon, but i am going to do the half half thing. what im worried about is, is he sick from the bad pellets or is he sicks because he has giardia
