Dreamlite is right...you can pull at the mats until they release. Unscented baby wipes may clean up fur/skin once all mats have been removed, but it wont make a huge difference. Dust baths are going to be your best friend for a while! Poor thing. Good luck with her!

Is the floor wood? I'd worry about urine soaking into it over time...bedding or not.

I use this one: http://www.acurite.com/digital-humidity-temperature-monitor-00325-00326-00327.html

Are you opposed to adoption? There are rescues out that way, or others that can be transported? Aside from that, others have already given great advice. Introductions should be taken slowly.

So chinchillas can have false pregnancies? Like rabbits? That just still doesn't explain the movement in her sides. Like rabbits too, would you be able to see the digestive tract moving? Is that possible with chinchillas? I know it's easy to mistake the movement as babies in rabbits.

I'm pretty sure the discharge was just heat. I was able to pick her up today and check it out again after reading about infections, I got worried. The area wasn't as wet, only by the cone and she did seem 'open' today as some people describe chins in heat. The fluid is just clear. No smell, nothing.

One more question. I just looked at her cone and vagina opening. It is not an abnormal color, no odor, but there seems to be a sticky clear fluid coming out. The area around her is slightly raised (kind of looks like a relaxed males testes.) Again, no abnormal looking swelling, color or odor...

I've not seen any babies from the female mentioned in this thread. I have not really seen her laying on her side anymore either. She's down to 810grams from the 865 she was when she got here. (She was on junk food so I did expect a decline in weight.) Really confused me as what I caught in film...

Sorry for your loss. RIP little girl!

Now, I know shipping animals is complicated..but does anyone here know the process? Have a link that clearly explains it? I have a friend overseas (could ship to Belgium) who very seriously wants to adopt a certain dwarf rabbit here in the next couple of months. We know it is an expensive and...

Wow, male or female? Love the color. Good luck with the little one!

Can your apartment provide contact information for the company that came in and sprayed? Surely you could then call and explain your situation?

Usually chins like the taste..so you shouldn't have any problem giving it to him. I give 1 dropper full straight to their mouth and they bite at the dropper for more.

I've had her 22 days now. She does eat well. The previous home was her home for 2-3 days. The one before that I have no idea how they cared for her. The girl I got her from had a mix like Kaytee in with her, so I suppose she has been on a junky feed. She's on Mana Pro SHO now.

For anyone who may have read my posts on a different thread, I wanted to ask a question that doesn't pertain to that section.. It's been 3 weeks since I first saw "movement" in Lucy's stomach. The little bump on her under side is still there. Her belly feels a tad but more firm, but I think she...

Riven - I'm sorry to hear about your Yorkie. 14+ years is a long life! Oh, and how are alpacas? There's a pasture not too far away that houses a few of them. They're so funny looking. As far as the dog I was originally talking about, we're going to foster him for his heartworm treatment. He's...

Oh, we've had that talk a many times! ha. My parents are very willing to help me care for the animals if I were to have to go off for school. My stepdad loves the chins, and the ones that are mine..he would never let me get rid of. I'm not too worried about my individual situation. I know my...

Some people believe there is no such thing as a person with too many pets...only a person who can not care for all of the pets they have. I (meaning my full support) have 5 chinchillas and a dwarf hamster. I am also fostering 3 chinchillas (2 of which may be leaving very soon) and a rabbit...

At first glance, I thought that was ET.

Ah I see, I sure wish I knew too. She's a sweetie..and very smart. Knows how to give 'kissies' and identifies you by sniffing your face and flicking her whiskers all over you. (:
