I saw a post about a similar thing a few down from this one, but it was a different situation than the one I'm currently in, so I figured it'd be worth creating my own! Sorry for any repetitiveness! I've had my chinchillas, Copernicus and McKinley, for just about a year now. I think they're...

My dogs have fleas right now and they have them bad. They don't go anywhere near my chinchillas, but there are so many that I've even found them on my clothes temporarily. We're obviously treating the dogs, but I've noticed that my chinchillas McKinley and Copernicus are scratching and nipping...

I have two chinchillas, McKinley and Copernicus. McKinley and I are really close. He'll curl up in my hand and go to sleep if I put it in the cage during the day, and he loves to sit on my head during playtime. Copernicus, on the other hand, is nowhere near as friendly.

So, my sister, after seeing how cute and fluffy my chinchillas were, decided to get a pair of Degus. Both my chinchillas are male and so are her Degus. She really wants to have a joint playtime and see how they interact with each other, but I'm reluctant. I saw a post on the hedgehog forum...

This isn't your typical "chin got bored and tore out some fur". My chin, mckinley, got his foot stuck in the door to his cages hinge and managed to tear the fur and skin off his back right paw, leaving a bloody exposed area on most of it. He is running around fine and doesn't even seem to...

I have two chinchillas, both aged 8 months, that I got one month ago. I heard to wait 2 weeks or so before letting them out for their first play time, and I did. But now I've come across a problem. One chinchilla, McKinley, is an active little guy (he'll bounce around the entire room and jump up...
