Pip has found a home!

Hi everyone, I've owned chinchillas for a year and a half now. I originally adopted a pair, but I unfortunately had to have one put down due to malocclusion in June. About 2 months ago, I adopted a new chin from someone who had to rehome her. They are both females. Rory, the chin I had...

The home did not pan out, so if anyone is still looking, she's still available!

I decided to adopt her out through the hedgehog welfare society and (hopefully) found her a home! ❤️

Hi everyone! As school approaches I've decided to give Pip free to a good home. I am still asking $50 for her cage, so you can decide if you'd like to buy mine or set up your own for her (:

I'm sorry, I don't think I could go quite that far ): I hope you find great homes for them though!

Hi, Unfortunately, I'm going to school this fall and won't have the time for my hedgehog anymore. She will be 2 in September. I spent a lot on her and all the things she's accumulated so I'm hoping to get $100 for her, her wheel, various hides, fleece, food, heat lamps, nail clippers, and...

Hi~ Unfortunately, I just had the sad and hard situation of having to put one of my two chinchillas down (she had malocclusion). Now my remaining chinchilla is alone, and I think she's a little lonely. She doesn't love being pet or held (she will tolerate both) so I think she needs a fellow...

I just tried a different brand, but she isn't thrilled with that either. I'm going to try mixing some oat or orchard hay in. I tried alfalfa a while ago, but she started having diarrhea so I don't give her that anymore!

Thanks for getting back to me. She is chewing on some sticks and wooden blocks, and eating her pellets and small amounts of hay, though not as much as I wish she'd eat. If there is something stuck in her teeth, is there any way I can tell or help get it out? Or do I just have to wait and see if...

I know it's been a while, but basically since I posted I had raised enough money to go through with a $700 procedure to file Belle's teeth down and hopefully help correct her jaw problems. She has been fine for weeks and much more energetic, and the vet said she was healing beautifully. Now she...

I've been having serious trouble attaching the x-rays. It says I already have them attached in the thread, but I can't find them or re-attach. I went to a more experienced vet today and she said Belle has problems with her jaw and molars. It's (hopefully) fixable to a point; we can get her back...

Here are her x-rays. Not sure how to do more than one so I'll have to post one at a time

I've requested the X-rays be sent to me, but I have to wait on the vet. My last visit to the newest vet didn't solve much, they filed her incisors but realized it's her molars that are the problem. They're going to look at the X-rays maybe take more, and probably refer me to a vet who deals with...

She's had x-rays, but none of the vets have showed me or said how bad it was. The newest vet wanted $200 to take X-rays so I decided to have her records transferred from the old vet so they can look at the X-rays already taken, so I'm waiting for that.

Hey all, I have a chin suffering from malocclusion, or something similar. Apparently her incisors are not the problem, which are easy to trim. She's chewing funny; her molars may be overgrown, or there's another problem. I need some advice. I have taken her to 3 different vets and every vet...

Thanks so much!! I'd still appreciate insight on a dustbuster from anyone else, but I think I'm going to go with something like this.

Hey all, I was wondering if you all have any insight or experience on the best vacuum to use. I'm going to be moving in the fall and bringing the chins with me, and I need a good vacuum to keep the shelves in the cage and area where they are nice and clean. (I just sweep up really well right...

Thanks everyone! I didn't realize tapping on the nose would scare her. I've read in a few places to do that 😧 (They were really gentle taps, I wasn't smacking her or anything!) I'll try the blowing and the not reacting, hopefully she'll stop biting me and eventually stop being scared of me.

Hi, I'm Sarah. I've had 2 chinchillas from a previous owner since June of last year. The older one, Belle, is around 4 or 5. She's getting very comfortable with me and will sit on me and sleep, accept scratches most of the time (occasionally she'll squirm away), and doesn't mind being held--...
