I absolutely refuse to buy supplies from Pet Co. Or PetSmart, so I'm looking for a website with a good quality chin supplies? I'm looking to buy for sure a new bed and some new wood shelves, along with anything cool I would like to add to her cage. Previously I've bought from Chinworld.com and...

So a few months ago my chin started loving my hair when it was wetish, but more damp. When I get ready on the floor or lay down after a shower, she jumps on my back and just loves to roll around on my damp hair (I obviously don't let her do it for very long cause of the wetness). She is just is...

I am very, very unhappy with the husband and wife that own chinworld.com! My wonderful mother ordered me a bunch of stuff off their website for my birthday. The order included toys, cage accessories, ledges, hideaway house, a large cage and the recommended pliers to put the cage together, it was...

My female chinchilla is making tons of squeaking noises at night. She is kept in my bedroom and right when I shut the lights off she started making a very fast, repeating squeaking noise followed by a very low and slow squeaking. She has never made this noise before. I checked on her to make...

I am always so curious about what kind of cages other people have and how they set up and organize all the goodies that go inside. I am also soon hoping to upgrade my chin's home with an all new cage and accessories. Please reply with pics and what kind of cage it is!

The past owners of my 2 year old chinchilla did not potty train her. So she always just pees in the same corner of her cage and sometimes on her bed. I've read about a couple ways to potty train a chin, but what do you guys think is the easiest and most effective way to potty train? Also, what...

I have owned my chin for about 4 months. She has had two prior owners before me (and I will be her last) so I understand it will take longer for her to take to me. She kind of has taken to me by crawling on me, eating out of my hand and letting me pet her. She is a really active chin and loves...

How do you all feel about metal mesh for chin's flooring? The main floor on our cage is 3 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch metal mesh with wood shavings underneath on a tray. Her tree stomp hideaway on the first floor has a fleece bottom. I also put fleece down on the second floor and the third floor is...

I've always read 60-70 degrees is ideal, but what is the most perfect temperature? I love my room cold at night when I'm sleeping and sometimes it gets down to 59 degrees in here. How cold is too cold?

I bought my chin four months ago. I really want to buy her a buddy though. If I did I would buy a girl because I hear you should pair chinchillas with the same sex??? The only thing holding me back is the fact that I don't want to buy another chinchilla for them not to like each other. I don't...

So my chin is super active and loves being out of her cage. So I want to make her cage more fun! What are some things I could put in there that would entertain her? Her cage is a good size with two levels. She has wood chew toys, a dangly wood toy, a hammock, a stump she can go in and a bell. I...

I bought my chin about four months ago and the previous owner told me she has a thyroid problem. She said it's not a big deal and doesn't affect her. She just isn't allowed to eat sunflower seeds. Is there anything else we should avoid or is there anything I should be doing? Also, could anyone...

What is the best brand of chinchilla food to get?

Whenever I do homework or study I do it on my bedroom floor so I can let my chin play with me. Sometimes she gets ahold of my card stock notecards and chews on them, but after chewing she eats the paper. Is this bad?!

My chinchilla peed her bed and laid on her own pee. It wasn't much, but now that its dry, her hair is sort of crunchy on the tips. It's on the side of her back. She's been picking at with her teeth and i've bathed her in her dust. I've tried brushing it, but it doesn't do too much. I would...
