There are a few different ways, though one of the most common ways to connect two cages is just cutting a small hole in both and using a tunnel between the two to connect them. That way you can make sure there are no gaps. However, if you are removing the whole wall on one side of each and than...

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's always hard when it's sudden, but at least she didn't suffer. Most likely it was something like a heart-attack or burst tumor because of her older age. While choking or accidentally ingesting poison could be a cause, I doubt that is it. There probably was nothing...

I think it should be alright. It might be wise to not mix the hay, just you can tell how much Alfalfa they are eating compared to the Timothy. I'm not an expert. I have heard, however, that too much Alfalfa is bad (I think it can cause gas build-up), but in moderation it offers good nutrition...

Welcome to the forum! So glad you could join! That's a gorgeous girl! I'll bet she'll be very happy with you. I like the name. : ) Hope to see you around!

How is she doing today? That's great that you are keeping a close watch on her. However, if she isn't straining or acting uncomfortable I wouldn't worry too much.

There are specially made animal food containers you could get (for like dogs and cats) or you could just get plastic shoe or coat boxes or other storage containers for people. I will say that hay put into an air-tight container, if even slightly moist, can go bad. Hay may be best kept in another...

It very well could be due to his former surroundings, but it also could be something else. The fact that he has them on his back-end makes me think it could be infected injuries, fungal infection, or even allergies. I'm no expert, so I won't give any advice on health care, but a vet could...

I'm so sorry to hear that. It is also so hard to loose them, especially so young, but know that you gave her a wonderful life, no matter how short it was. I'm glad you guys got to show her respect with a burial.

When our dogs first ate plastic, we were really worried about them too. Turns out, animals tend to past hard objects pretty well. I think its twine, string, and thread that tends to get caught up inside of them. She should be fine, but watch for signs of straining, abnormally colored or shaped...

I'm not an expert, but I have to agree, she's a beige or a beige mix. She's a pretty girl. : )

Welcome to the forum! Its awesome you could join! : ) Sounds so exciting to get three kits at the same time! You'll have your hands full, but it will be worth it. Timothy should make up the main part of the hay offered, though slowly introducing a little alfalfa is alright as well. Just make...

Welcome to the forum. So glad you could join. : ) I'm so sorry about Penelope. It sounds like you are doing really well with your new chin, Zoey. A healthy diet, plenty of exercise and a large and clean enclosure are the best ways to keep her healthy. Over time she'll learn to trust you...

Thank you, I'd love all the help I can get. I just got signed up for a training course at the local shelter so hopefully I'll be volunteering there soon and building my way up in the animal rescue community. : )

Welcome to the forum! So glad you could join! : ) Sounds like you have an amazing chin. I love the name Gavin (the name of the main character in one of my favorite books). If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to share them. We all love chinchillas and we all are here to...

Welcome to the forum! So glad you could join! You have been so wonderful with all your animals, they are so lucky to have you. I hope to become a wildlife rehabber also and be able to work with animals that need a head-start in life. I'm sorry about all the things you've had to go through in...

I hope this helps: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33454

My ferrets had towels for their bedding (they love to hide in them) and our rabbit had litter boxes made of towels, but towels do trap smell easily and need to be bleached in this case. We always used folded towels, since this prevents the urine from soaking through all the way. I hope this...

Welcome! So glad you could join! Some matches between pet and owner are just meant to be. : )

Welcome, so glad you could join! Being involved with humane animal management is what I want to do too! Best of luck with that! : )
