Hi all, We're looking for new homes for our 6 chinchillas. We have had a great time rescuing them and bonding with them but it is time to downsize. They have all been taken care of well, fed a healthy diet of Timothy Hay and pellets, bathe regularly, and have daily "playtime" for an hour aside...

Hello, I am not sure if my chin, Mama, has been depressed from bonding with my newer chin, Coco. We have done side by side cage, swapping dust baths and toys, and they have playtime together now. They get along quite well aside from the occasional squabble, which we break apart and return them...

Just wondering if it's possible and if so, how I should be doing it. Sent from my SM-J320R4 using Tapatalk

Hi, There's pee stains on my chinchillas feet and tail from walking over their puddles. The fur is yellowish brown. It looks pretty disgusting and I'm wondering how I can clean it up. Thanks : )

Hi, My chinchilla Nike got out of his playpen, and since my dad isn't a big fan of them(in the first point), he got pissed and tried to force Nike back in with a broom. Long story short, my dad ended up hitting Nike with the broom somehow(I didn't see); I don't know how hard he hit him. My...

Hi, I'm letting my next door neighbor watch my chinchillas while I'm gone for 5 days. She's met the chinchillas a couple of times before. She has had guinea pigs before, so I think the basic concept of daily care is similar. I made a checklist for her, and I'm just wondering if I've missed or...

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to DIY a saucer, and if so, what I should be buying. I also saw this wheel instagram.com/oliverschin (latest post)... And was curious if it would be safe for the chins if i used some sheet metal or something and lay it in the wheel.

Hey guys, my family will be going away for a week in the fall and a month and a half in late fall/early winter. I don't know what to do with my chins while we're gone. I've gotten an electronic pet feeder(http://store.petsafe.net/5-meal-timed-pet-feeder), a big water bottle(it leaks though...

Hi all, I notice a lot of people are selling bales of timothy hay, both first and second cut, on Craigslist. They're about $5-7, so very inexpensive compared to what I see in stores. I'm also assuming they're pretty big. Should I pick up a bale to try out? If it's ok, what precautions should...

Hi all, I'm wondering how often you should clean the cages. Right now, I sweep off their poos 1-2 times a day, depending on how busy I was. I scrub their ledges and poo catcher pan thing with dish or laundry detergent weekly. And I haven't scrubbed their cage frame since March. Should I...

Today approx 20 minutes into playtime, my sister(who was watching my the chins) notified me that one of the chins had a bloody mouth and paw after she itches her moth. I checked her out right after, and found the crack of her two cheeks or lips and some of the skin around it seemed to be skinned...

Hi all, It's my first time posting here so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. Anyways, I have 3 chins, Nike(1.5 years old, male), Mama(4 years old, female), and Oliver(1.5 years old, female). A lady gave them to me off craigslist about 2 months ago. They were fed the supplement...
