an odd thing happened recently where if my hand is in the cage my chin would half sit on my hand and gently nibble at my knuckle never braking skin but ever so gently nibble on it as if its trying to groom my hand I dont know if i should take it as a bonding moment so i leave it there for a...

Well today is Whisper's First birthday. I think I spoil her bit bit lol every night she runs around on my bed before I go to sleep and she gets 3 whole wheat Cheerio's then too lol. SHHHH shes getting a hammock for her birthday lol.

Right after play as of the last 2 weeks my Chin Whisper sits right at the cage door with her teeth around one rung of the cage door and stares at me in mass disgust after her usual 45 minutes of playtime. After about 5 minutes of her staring at me I pet her out of pity through the bars of her...

Yeah she sometimes falls asleep in her dust bowl and seeing as I'm holding it the whole time shes in it a very gentle shake of the bowl or a light tap on the bowl will wake her up.

New Shelfing As of today I finally got to making Whisper's new shelf's and I think I did a good job. There are no stitching just 7 deep staples to hold the fabric in place and all the staples are in places where she can't bite or nip at them. Inside the fleece is untreated pine and the fleece...

No apology needed good advise is seldom something to be sorry about. Now I have another question. Her third and highest shelf she seems to ignore and that's where her food is but as an added issue I cant put the ramp back in even if i wanted to so is there a way to entice her to jump up there to...

Yeah shes always laying on her side on that shelf sleeping. As a matter of fact shes sleeping on it now. I moved alot around in the cage and added somethings too. Like I said there no ramps and I'm going to be making custom shelf piece made of un-treated pine wood surrounded by fleece. Plus I...

Already taken care of lol.

Ok thanks by the way I have some pictures of her sleeping. and yes the cage is more than enough room for her at 2.5" high and 2" wide by 1.5" long I'm not sure about the carpet but the breeder said it wont hurt her and the ramps I took out last week so no hurting her cute little feet.

I noticed that when shes playing her ears are palish and I can't see the veins yet when shes sleeping they get very red but about 2 seconds after she wakes up they go right back to being there palish yet slightly pink veined ears and the veins them self's go down after about 10 seconds is it normal?

Pictures for all. Well the only pictures I have are these. There around the time I got her. There a bit blurry but you can see her fine. lol

I'm a bit late on my introduction but better late then never. My little chin by the name of Whisper is currently 10 months old and her birthday is February 4th 2010. She is all white and has pink ears with black spots which I've not seen much at all. I can't work due to leg issues so I get to...

Sorry for the double post(I think it is at least.) but that's the last time I buy a hammock or any kind of comfort toy from a pet store. I'd rather do something I don't usually do and just make one for her. Ive read a lot about this so called Chinchilla hammock and it's made a lot of Chins sick...

With both those comments I took the hammock out and tomorrow I'll be going to the breeder and asking him about it. It's whats called a Cozy Hammock from Super pet I got it at Petsmart. For now she'll have to go back to sleeping in her little wood house.

According to the package it is safe for Chinchillas plus I don't think I could take it from her now I tried to move it a bit while she was out of it and I was no wheres near her and I got warning barks lol. Thats a first for me when only moving things around in her cage.

Ok so when I got her a new ferret like bed checked to make sure it was all safe to chew on if she does start to get pieces off about 10 minutes after she nibbled and chewed the life out of the thing she started to grind her teeth again. Right now shes asleep in it so it must be a comfort thing...

she eats well and does run around alot during playtime as for the poop they look normal enough to me. She's only 10 months old and shes my first so I just like to make sure. Thanks for the help.

My Chin (Whisper) seems to be what I think is Gritting her Teeth shes only 10 months and she has plenty to chew and bite (All wood chews from the pet store) . I'm just worried shes got something wrong. Any advise?

First time I put Whisper in her cage every night she would bark. Its been about a week since I got her and now she don't make that noise. Her cage is right near my bed so she knows shes not alone.
