    Chin making weird noise.

    My female chin Squeaker​ has been making a weird noise. It sounds like a cat trying to cough up a hair ball. She's been doing it since I got her almost a year ago. I took her to the vet for a check up and about the only thing I learned that day was that Squeaker is a female. When we bought her...

    Improper care of chinchillas!!

    Thank you for the input I'm going to have to do something. I think about those poor animals every time I look at mine. I think the cage is at least 2x2x2 but considering that they don't get out much for play time I just feel it's cruel. The school is probably to hot now that it's winer. Also...

    My fifteen-year-old daughter is in 9th grade and has animal science. A family donated a cage with two chinchillas to the science class. My daughter has showed me pictures and the cage I personally wouldn't even house one chinchilla in its small, has a wire bottom and there's no running wheel...

    Exhausted chin?

    Do you think it could be because I chased him all over trying to catch him? I keep the heat in my house on 68. The floors in the play room are tile so there cool. As far a blood sugar I feed him oxbow essentials chinchilla food kaytee Timothy hay a few Cheerios a day and maybe a few raisins a...

    Exhausted chin?

    when playtime was over squeaker went into the bath house and I put him in his cage. But chewy realized that play time was over so he wouldnt go into the bathhouse. So I had to chase him around. I don't pick them up because they don't like it so I use the bathhouses to transport them from the...

    What do you think about the bass pans? Do they have higher sides?

    What can I do to keep mess in the cage?

    I just received my FN. The pans do not have very high sides and when I woke up today there was a ton of bedding on the floor around the cage. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Adopting from craigslist?

    I bought 2 black velvet brother chins off Of Craig's list for 200$ with a decent cage and supply. Unfortunately the friendliest brother died from cancer about 6 weeks later. The older brother is doing good though. 300$ is way to much. During my search for my chins I came across a lot of over...

    Introducing 2 chins

    I bought 2 chins a few months ago, the youngest brother died from cancer. I recently rescued another chin. So the first night I put my new chin Chewy in his new area alone. The second day they had play time together for 2 hours no fights just sniffing and a little chasing. Then they had a few...

    Ferret Nation or Critter Nation?

    I have recently adopted 1 chin and rescued another they both are in separate cages and the cages are taking up to much room. I'd like to buy a stacked cage but still be able to keep them separate for the time being. I'm having a hard time deciding between the FN and the CN. Any suggestions would...

    I recently went threw something similar with my chin bubbles. He stopped eating and drinking. We had an xray done and he was impacted and dehydrated. I have critical care every 4-6 hours and fluid injections every night. That is what my exotic vet prescribed. A regular vet told me to try the car...

    Bye bye Bubbles

    My baby died tonight! The vet found a tumor last week and now he's gone. I'm glad he didn't suffer. We miss him already. I'll be burying him tomorrow morning. This sucks :-(

    My chin ate paper I'm worried

    I just found out my baby boy has a tumor. He was impacted but once the stuff cleared they found the tumor in his intestines. I'm heart broken. His older brother is not as lovable as he is. Bubbles likes to be held and rubbed. How do I get squeaker to be more like bubbles? Squeaker actually...
