Hey Everyone! I am getting ready to move about 20 minutes away in February, so it's not a long distance move. My question is what would make this the least stressful for my chinchilla. I currently have her in a three level Critter Nation cage, so it's 9ft tall and won't be easy to move. She will...

I am going to be getting a 7 month old white chinchilla from Aces Up Chinchillas tomorrow and I'm very excited! As some of you know a while back I lost my female to Malo and soon after my male was also diagnosed with it. While I'm very sad by losing my 7 year old pair I decided things don't feel...

Tonight I had to put down my female Roxy due to Malo. I'm worried my male will be lonely and get depressed. Anyone who has been through this and can give me some of what I can expect from Viper would be greatly appreciated. Also is it worth trying to introduce a new friend for him or will he be...

I'm just curious, but does anyone else have a female that gets kind of mean when she's in heat? My girl Roxy normally is very affectionate and nice to her brother Viper, however when she goes into heat she gets a little more aggressive with her affection I guess. She doesn't bite and draw blood...

Hello everyone! I recently upgraded my feisty ferret cage to a critter nation with metal pans and am in love with it. It's a long story, but due to some shipping issues I am going to be receiving a second critter nation for free. Do you think the chinchillas would enjoy a triple tall cage or a...

I searched the forums and could not find a post on this, so I figured I could start one. I wanted to share some tips to save money on our furry and sometimes expensive friends that I wish I knew as an owner starting out. Seeing how I am now completely financially responsible for their well being...

During playtime Roxy was just staring at me for a minute with her mouth open. I have no idea why, but it was adorable and I couldn't resist taking a picture! Viper is just trying to figure out why I was laughing.

I am looking to purchase a bale of hay for my chinchillas from a local farm, but I wasn't sure if there was anything I needed to be aware of while looking at farm hay that you don't need to do with store bought hay. I know the hay basics, but it seems like perhaps farm hays may have more risk...

My chinchillas have not been to a vet in several years due to an unfortunate situation I explained in my introduction. I will be taking them soon, but I was wondering are there any specific questions you usually ask a vet to make sure they really know chinchillas and aren't just trying to make...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you all a little bit about my chinchillas Roxy and Viper and explain how they came to live with me. In 2009 my mom made the ultimate pet mistake. My sister (Age 14) and I (Age 19) had decided we wanted hamsters we had done a ton of...
