I just got a chin and there is the possibility that she is pregnant. I have researched on this forum and many have mentioned that a pregnant chin does not need any supplements or additions if they are getting what they should as a healthy chin should. I have also researched on here about...

I have a chinny that I have had for five years. Every now and then at night she will make a calling/warning sound but VERY rarely. Now, I have just gotten another chinchilla. I had let her relax and get used to the new environment and yesterday I moved them into the same room together so that...

I have a extra dark ebony female that is about five years old. She is so calm and sweet. She is not the usual chinchilla that wants to run and pop. She will sit in your hands. Unfortunately, I need to rehome her. She is local pick up only. I am open to offers. I would prefer an experience owner...

I have had a hedge before and had heating issues. I am now getting one again and before I pick it up I wanted to run a set up to make sure everything was working and it would heat right. I have done my research before and now and have the ceramic heat emitter. I have a tub that is 15 by 27...

I was wondering if anyone makes pine bridges? The ones with no gaps between the slats. I would love to buy one. If anyone makes them could you tell me how much one would be and how much shipping would be as well? If you have any pics I would appreciate it too. THANKS!!

I have a wheel that is 4 inches wide and only ten in diameter. I know this is too small for my chinny so I am getting her another one. But I don't know which one to get. I know I want either the chin spin or the silver surfer. The one she has now she wont run one and I don't know if that is...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a very good vet near Cullman Alabama that is experienced in chins. Anyone tried any out?

I am wondering what a bump that is under the chin and what seems to be inbetween the lower teeth would be. I know that bumps is a sign of elongation but this is one bump. Thanks.

My chin has done a mouth swipe for a while but after reading and posting I thought it wasn't a problem. Just recently it sounds like there is a grinding kind of sound when she eats. She seems to sit a little more than usual but I have moved her to another cage so it may be do to that. She does...

I have read on here about potty training and have picked up a dish to use. The thing is it is recommended to use the old bedding. I have put new fresh bedding in the dish but don't have any old since I use fleece. What should I do? Should I just put it in a corner that I think she is using the...

I have seen rose buds for sale on here. I was wondering if I have a rose bush can I give them to her? The ones for sale look like they are dried. Would I need to do this to them and is there anything else that is done to make them suitable for a chinchilla? I am aware that it can't have any...

I want to make my chinny a fleece hidey house but I am not sure how to go about it. Is there a pattern I could follow. I am not for sure how big or small is appropriate. If you know of any other patterns for things like different shaped hidey holes or whatever please let me know. Thanks.

At what age do you suppose you start seeing signs of aging? I have heard that older chins get cataracts. What age do these come into play? I know there is not a definent answer but roughly. What would you normally see from an older chin physically? Thanks.

Do you think that supplement is a needed item to a chins diet? I am wondering if I should get some for my chinny. I read about a twenty year old chin on here and it was mentioned that supplement was given. Do you think this helps with their life expectancy?

I am wondering why it is necessary to scrub, boil, and bake wood? I had read that it might mold if it isn't baked. I don't mean this to sound rude but chinchillas have lived in the wild so they were around natural woods. So why can't they be around regular wood? Thanks.

Yesterday I was sifting through information and came upon the issues with chinny teeth. I then noticed that my chinchilla has pawed at her mouth. So when I got home I watched and she does move her mouth as if she is grinding. I just assumed there was food in her mouth that I had missed her...

I am so overloaded with cages! I have thought about getting a different cage but I am not for sure if I am or not. I decided to take a look at what was available. There is the Prevue fiesty ferret cage The ferret nation (yes, I know everyone loves this one) The marshall estate ferret home I...
