To break down our situation: I've had a previously bonded pair for 6.5yrs and back in July I lost one of my boys about 2 weeks before I had to move. Things have settled now and my remaining boy, Riku was never really the affectionate type, but I've been monitoring him for any serious changes or...

Yesteray was my first china-versary with Toki and Riku! We celebrated with new toys, extra playtime, and I'm in the process of tiling the cage, which I'm looking forward to a great deal. I just wanted to say how glad I am to have this site and though I'm not always as active in the forums...

I actually wanted to call this thread: Bug Out Bags or Scramble Bags, but I'm not sure anyone would know what I was talking about. I'm in the process of creating an all-emcompassing 72hr survival kit in case of a natural disaster (or the zombie apocalypse :thumbsup:), explosion, whatever. This...

Recently I was visiting a friend who's roommates have a cat and were about to declaw and I mentioned the Soft Claws as an alternative. She said she'd ask her vet; the vet claimed that Soft Claws weren't a good product because they fell off often and were expensive over time and thus they went...

So today, I was watching one of my favourite antics from my Toki and wanted to share. He likes to lay on his back and chew things above him. Like he'll lay on his back under the pumice shelf and chew the bottom or lay on his back under the wicker hidey I have for them and chew the edges. Alas...

I'm putting together my "emergency kit" still and had a few questions about Critical Care that I couldn't find answered when I did a search, though I know I've seen some examples somewhere in the mounds of reading I do on here. I've read about chins disliking CC and I've also read about people...

My boys are discovering scritches! They sort of have to be "convinced" to be scritched ("HEY what are you...Oh...oh, that feels quite nice), but as I discover the best scritch spots, I wondered: Where do you Scritch?

I want to state first that I have no intentions of showing my boys. I do notice however, that occasionally they have little tufts of hair and I have considered combing them every once in a while. I know that there are chinchilla combs, but was curious if anyone has ever used other pet...

Hello Fellow Forumers! SO, I'm going on an international vacation next month and my darling husband will be watching over my boys in my absence. I'm writing up a Chinformation Sheet for him, since they are MY pets that he acknowledges, and wondered what other chinparents wrote up for their...

Hello Chin-wise world! I know that there are lots of people who use a variety of miscellaneous items such as terracotta pots and ceramic bowls in their cages, and I was curious if anyone knew if any of the glazes on any ceramics were dangerous and how to tell. I used to help my grandmother with...

So I know the safe woods list refer to firs and I know that my Christmas Tree this year is a Douglas Fir. I know in this particular case that no pesticides were used and I'd like to recycle my tree, especially if I can do something for my boys in the process. I've already looked over the how to...

So my boys came with a "Super Pet Deluxe Care Home", and I'm considering getting a new cage for them. I've been reading on here and looking at cages and thought that now that I'm sort of approaching a decision, I should ask for some advice on my own cage and if these are good enough reasons to...

Hello! I have finally adopted two darlings little chins, Toki and Riku, into our family. I first fell in love with chins when I was an early teen but realized that I wouldn't be able to give them the love they needed until after I finished college and got a little more stable. To my great...
