I brought home two new girls last weekend. One of them was a bit lethargic, the breeder I bought her from showed me how she wasn't doing too well and would need extra attention. At first she was interested in some hay, but didn't eat many pellets. Showed a little interest in drinking water, but...

When I first put the hammock into my girls' cage, they didn't really hang out in it much. But, I thought, maybe they're not into it because they feel "exposed"... it was in the top level and it probably feels very open to them. So I moved it to the bottom level... and it has become my little...

I've had my two sweet chinnies for almost a month now! They're gaining approximately 10g a week - I try to weigh them once per week. I got this bridge from Fleece for Furries (Shooper), the girls love it <3 They do love their bath time! They figured out the little bath house pretty...

I started looking into becoming a chin parent several years ago. LOL, at first, I thought I'd house a chin in something like this.... ...with, ya know, plastic toys and stuff :-P But thankfully, I held off and decided to do some more research. I eventually found this forum, did some other...

LOL I was looking at chin videos on youtube, and I saw this one.... I'm pretty sure this is a very young (baby?) chin that escapes through these bars.... but yeah, reminder of importance of proper bar spacing if you want to have baby chins! They really can slip right through...

While I'm letting my new chins adjust to me, their new surroundings and new home, etc... do I need to try to get them out of the cage in order to vacuum up poop each day? Or can I let them stay in the cage (quite likely in their tunnels/hidey house) and vacuum the fleece liners while they are...

I searched for threads/topics on traveling with chinchillas, but it looks like most of the posts I found are a couple years old. :hmm: Since the airlines like to change their rules like I change my socks, I wanted to come and ask if anyone has traveled with a chinchilla on a plane *recently*...

I'm looking to bring home a couple of young chinnies in a couple of weeks. They'll be just a few months old! I'd like to set up a playpen for them so they can have a little out of cage time (supervised). How much out-of-cage time do you give very young chins?

Hi there, I'm about to purchase my first chin cage, and I'm stuck between the CN or the FN (double units). They just look pretty much the same! Does anyone have one of each and can tell me if there is actually a difference? Is one better suited to chins than the other? Only about $12 in cost...

Hi there, I've been reading through the questions in this forum and wanted to describe a little bit of the set-up I have in mind to put together for bringing home my new furry. Obviously, I don't want to buy expensive or extraneous things that other chin parents may have found to be useless...

Hi there everyone! After about 3 years of reading, researching, and pricing, I'm getting ready to bring home my first chinchilla, hopefully within the next month or so. Or a compatible pair, that would work just fine too! I wanted to join up on a chinchilla forum and hopefully find some...
