Does anyone have any insight regarding if burning a CBD candle in the same room (average bedroom, for size) a chinchilla is safe for them? This is called Candlebis Candle Co. "cbd soy wax candle infused with 80 mg pure cbd" Thank you!

Happy Monday all 🙂 My chin has a chew-proof cage (the mansion aka "ferret" cage lol). But, it's the outside frame so he can't escape. The shelivng and ramps/slides are plastic. He's about 7, and after year 4ish of replacing the cage (it was the same price/cheaper than finding the shelving and...

Hi everyone. I've literally made myself sick worrying about this today, so I'm hoping I'm just far too attached to my chin and dramatic and that this doesn't likely need a vet trip. Pardon the word vomit, but as I said, I'm panicking. Last night, I was closing Sam's cage door, and I didn't...

Succulents seem to be growing in popularity, especially here in New England. I wanted to get a little one (I'm in a "studio," w/some extra walls lol) since as I research them more, I find the idea of oxygen for better sleep via succulents appealing. Are plants like succulents or plants in...

Background: this past Tues pm, I noticed what sounded like my chin had a dry nose and he wasn't making his usual happy cooing noises and whatnot, but nothing else symptom-wise --not behaviorally or physically. So, that didn't get worse, but persisted, bringing me to our first trip (I've had him...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, so I apologize if so! Feel free to move/remove. Anyway, my chin is on meds via dropper and during our mild battle to administer them lol, the dropped bopped his fur and I apparently did not wipe it off like I thought. There is the...

My chin has been laying down flat like flush against the ground all cute and potentially sad? the last few days, I think more than usual and I'm getting worried. Weather is not an issue it's back to cool even though I got an a/c for that one day we've had so far recently. He seems fine...

Hi everyone. Time for another potentially silly question for which I apologize in advance as always! Okay, so: I moved into a studio and the window isn't a regular push up to open. It's a sliding one and only one side opens. That's my only window. So, being in lovely New England, it's supposed...

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the right area, so I apologize if I should have posted elsewhere! I know that some wood and whatnot is toxic for chins. Does anyone know if having an aloe plant in the same room would give off anything that might harm him? I read an article about certain...

Hi everyone and happy thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! I tried to search around here, but I just came up with kind of general support of Midwest Critter Nation (which is the same as Critter Nation right?) and that it's worth the price. I found specifically this cage on Petco...

I tried to search through threads for reviews of Prevue brand cages after being in search of a cage that my chin can't chew any part of (we're on our second Kaytee ferret cage and I'm not going to be buying one every other year for 20 years or watch him eventually get sick because he loves to...

Hi everyone, Not sure if this should have gone in here or in the behavior area, so I apologize if it's in the wrong place! I've been getting my chin's toys, chews, and treats from Petco as long as I've had him (almost 3 years). Their variety has been lacking for a while now, so I'm wondering...

I can't seem to find whether or not Quality Cage Crafters cages are made with chew proof wire? Maybe I'm missing it? Does anyone know? If I get one, the purpose is because my chin is chewing on the plastic floors of his current cage, though the wire is chew proof. Thanks!

Is it normal for your chin to shed a little? I find some hair here and there, nothing ridiculous and nothing looks like he's going bald or anything. Just little...fluffies? lol not clumps

Does anyone have any recommendations on quality applewood sticks to get online? The ones I had been getting for my chin aren't local anymore. I have some from Petco now, but if there are better ones, I would love to check them out. Thanks!

Happy Mother's Day to all the real mothers as well as fellow pet moms! I hope you all have an amazing day! :grouphug::flowers::momday2:

Hey everyone, I'm unfortunate enough to be writing this from near Boston, Massachusetts. I say that because this year the infamous bipolar nature of New England weather just will not give us a break. Now that the snow has finally melted, it's been high 70s to mid 80s for the last week or so...

Since I got him about 2 years ago, Sam has chewed the floors (not the caging, which is chew-proof, as every part should be!) and slides in his cage. His bowel movements have not been impacted in the least bit, and he remains 100% healthy and acting the same. Am I going to have to buy new cage...

I'm wondering if there is a typical age for chins to come down with their first sickness/need to see a vet or if it's different for each? Just curious, thanks!

I haven't had to take Sam to the vet yet, thank goodness! Has anyone ever taken their chin on a well visit or anything? Is that something anybody has heard of or recommends? Thanks! Korie and Sam
