Hey! So I've had my chinchilla's for nearly two weeks now and they're settling in pretty well :) However I noticed today that one of them has a little red mark under his nose (as shown below). I'm not sure if this is a little scratch or what (he may have fallen off a ledge and caught himself a...

Not planning on buying a wheel for a year or so, but does anyone know where I can buy a nice, silent wheel in the UK from? The only one I've found is by the company tic tac but we also like the look of flying saucer wheels! :)

Hey!! worry not, there's a breeder in Scotland that's actually going to be taking over chins2shop so it will be back up and running at some point :) but for now you can use http://minipetz.co.uk/ and https://galensgarden.co.uk/

ahh right, to be fair because we've built the wooden cupboard around it, it's a whole tonne quieter, it does shake a bit during part of its cycle for about 5-10 minutes max. I think for now we're going to trial it, but if we find them getting stressed due to the noise we're going to move them...

Hey!! Sorry I forgot to be more specific, the cubby is a fairly big room and it has good air ventilation as well as the basement. When I meant free roam time, I meant that we'd be able to open the cage whilst supervising them, meaning that if they get scared they can easily get back into the...

Hiya! So we currently have 2 areas that are viable as to where to put the cage - the basement or a cubby room however I'd like to know which would be best? The basement is great in that it's quiet and cool however in order to let them out we'd need to put them in a carrier and take them...

Well it's good to know I'm not the only one!! That being said, the closer it gets to them actually arriving the more excited I am!!! :)

Was anyone else nervous when they first got their chin? I'm getting my first two in 2 weeks time and although I'm sure it'll go smoothly, (I've done so much research) I'm still super nervous! I think it's partially to do with the fact that, although I've had many pets before the chins will be...

Hey guys I'm going on holiday in September (so I'll of had my chinchilla's for roughly two months), we're going to get someone to come round to the house to look after them with strict rules but I'll roughly be gone for 10 days, what should I expect when I get back? Will I have to gain their...

ohh okay thank you!!! I wasn't sure if they needed none or minimal, but I'll keep that in mind :) Thank you!

Hey guys! I'm wanting to make my own chew toys so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Also if anyone knows of anyone selling any cool/interesting toys that would be great (although preferably people that ship from/to the UK would also be very helpful!)

Ahh okay!! That's good to hear, thankfully we have a nice smallish size room for them to play in and have their cage in (and also quite conveniently chin proof haha)

Thank you!! I just tested the material to see if it shed at all if I pulled it hard enough and sure enough both the owl one and the unicorn one does (any ideas with what I could do with the materials would also be great haha, Also have dogs so maybe a bed for them?) However the stars are indeed...

Hey! So I'm getting my chins in a months time (yay!) however I'm just wondering how do you get them back in their cage after play time? I'm only anticipating letting them out for exercise for about 10 minutes to begin with (they'll be 5-6 months old) but how do I get them back in without...

Hey! There isn't too much of a different between male and female chin cares however yes, males can indeed get fur rings. There's no other way to describe it other than be graphic so sorry in advance! Basically it's where their fur gets wrapped around their phallus and can be very uncomfortable...

Hey guys!! So I'm wanting to line my chin cage with fleece before they get here, however I didn't know what type of fleece to buy before purchasing but where I got it from doesn't state what type of fleece it is either. It describes it as "cuddle fleece". I know it should be polar and antipile...
