Has anyone fed their chin Curly Willow wood? I know white willow is not safe but have read that other types of willow are ok.

Somewhere around here there is a list of Chin safe wood. I can't seem to find it again. Help Anybody? Thanks

Just as the title says. I don't heat my entire house at night and I am wondering at what point to turn the heat on for my chin.

Has anyone tried one of these wheels? http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-UPGRADED-QUIET-CHILLAWHEEL-LARGE-METAL-16-INCH-CHINCHILLA-EXERCISE-WHEEL-/191361588423? The black piece on the back added to reduce noise is a "polymer/resin". Which I am sure is not chin safe. Wondering if perhaps it is out of...

I am so confused at this point. I don't think this is an emergency, but it has the potential. Sorry it's so long. I have had my 4 yr old chin for just more than a month or so. I have been diligigently reading to learn about my chin. A few weeks ago I realized my chins poop was small, skinny...

Is chewing metal where there is rust a health hazard to chins? I found a puppy play pen but it is somewhat rusty. But half the price of a new one.

Last night while Sprockety Rocket was out for playa time I noticed she was not her normal poop rocket self. No poop anywhere. I scooped her up and we had forced belly rubs which produced some poopin. After looking at her I decided she might be a little bloated. I swept her cage so I could...

So my little beast of burden came with a brand new bag of the food pictured. I have done my research here to find out what is safe chin food and what is not. Needless to say I am picking out all of the fruits and veggies, but I can't identify some of the things in the mix In the last pic the...

Is there such a thing as too much dust build up in chin ears? The amount in her ears seems to be more noticeable when it was not the first few weeks I had her. Sprocket gets a dust bath every other day or every third day depending on how much I handle her. Last night she got one because she...

I have a nice digital scale, that weighs in grams. What is the best way to get a chin to sit on the scale? Tonight I ended up putting her in a pillow case. After subtracting the weight of the box I set her in and the weight of the pillowcase she turned out to be 509 lbs. But then she came and...

My new chin was given to me by her 2nd owner. I have no info on her background. I am trying to identify her color etc. I can't tell just from reading if she is just a light grey standard or something else. Any help appriciated.

How do I post a question for the vet? I don't seem to have the option on starting a thread in that topic.

Like most chins Sprocket explores with her teeth. Despite chin proofing her play space she inevitably finds something to chew on. She appears to be eating anything she can get a chunk of. I never find chunks of the things she chews. I am convinced she is eating most all of it. Her favorite is...

My female chin is very quiet. She rarely ever makes a sound. The only times I have ever heard her was one night after I held her more than she likes she barked for awhile after I went to bed, and when I per or scratch her above the tail. From what I have read most chins are talkative? Any ideas?

What is with the goofy sideways chinchilla hop my chin has just started doing?

Hi! New chin owner. Sprocket is aprox. 4 years old, she was given to me about a month ago. Things seem to be going well. She takes treats from my hand and will let me pet and scratch her. She is not interested in being held. At all. But does not avoid me during playa time and will jump on both...
