Because I keep females only, neutering males is something I've never researched. I appreciate your thoughts on the subject and would definatly spend the time educating myself on the subject if she ended up to be a he.

EMS chins - It's crazy they didn't recognize you. I'm so glad you were able to get her out of there. As an update - I did send an email inquiry from my son's email and now I'm just waiting for a response. She did mention limited internet access when I talked to her on the phone, so it may be...

You guys are great. Seriously - I learned my lesson on this. What a great idea....I'm just not that sneaky! Okay, I will log on to my son's email, give a different name and set up time to meet. She's likes to text info, so I'll switch phones with him today. New email, new name, new number...

I'm so frustrated! I'm interested in adopting another girl chin and although I have nothing against breeders, I just prefer to adopt chins that are no longer wanted or can no longer be cared for in their current situation. I have two single ladies that I adore. I responded to a Craigslist ad...

I just read your thread about your blind chinchilla. How is he doing now? I'm curious if he displays the same behaviours as my blind girl. When she first came to my home, she would bury her nose in the corner too. I think it was stress. Over the period of about 10 months, she began to come...

Ha! I thought popcorning referred to the crazy hopping that one of my chins does when she is let out for playtime, but I wasn't sure until I saw the video. She does it about 5 or 6 times when she if first let out. It ALWAYS makes me laugh!

Seriously - Some people just shouldn't have a companion animal.

"Free female chinchilla needs some work must buy cage for $60. Is a black chin •Location: Tacoma •it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests" NEEDS WORK? IS SHE A CAR? SIGH.....

I just came across your thread. I hope your baby is doing better. I went thru a very similar account when a chinchilla was "re-homed" to me. She didn't have a blockage, but rather went into accute shock, stopped eating and drinking, and her poops turned into a few small black flecks a day...

One of my chins is really picky about the time of day for playtime. She wants to come out after 9:30 pm and that is THAT! If I try to bring her out even a half hour early, she gives me her moody, diva look and refuses to budge. A half hour later, she's ready to go. My other chinchilla could...

Put them in a small carry case and get the weight, then subtract the weight of the case.

Thank you Cathy - there are so many different opinions on this topic and with my lack of experience it's difficult to figure out the best approach. We've tried a few more times to introduce these two and I did notice that when given a larger area to explore there was more chasing and arguing...

In my heart, I kind of felt like they had some things to work out before they could settle in together. I might be overreactive. I guess I am just terrified that one will get a really bad bite/injury. I've read about smooshing, small cage in large cage, car rides, etc. What method has been...

Poop! Second attempt introducing my two females has failed. The resident chin, who is so skittish and active (with a major diva attitude) I thought would be the more aggressive one. But noooo, it was my sweet, sensetive, people loving, mellow chin that was trying to peck at my diva girl. I...

I used to provide the bathroom for playtime, but noticed it gets too warm in there with the door closed. So now, I close all the bedroom doors upstairs and block the entrance to the stair well with a baby gate. This gives both of my chins access to the length of the whole hallway and bathroom...

Yikes! That looks terribly painful! I hope you heal quickly.

Yes - that was correct. She was so bony and frail, I was afraid just picking her up would break bones. I'm happy to report she is eating, drinking, pooping and playing almost normally now. Although she's still a little on the skinny side, her weight is MUCH improved. I feel confident we are out...

I don't know anything about colorations, but awwww, what a little sweet pea!

He is adorable!!!!!

Now she's a "hippie" chinchilla. She didn't have a spot to rest her feet, the cage she came with is all wire grids. I put in some grass mats right away, but she loves to snuggle her toes on the fleece.
