Many have been asking about Oxbox chinchilla pellets lately. Not being able to find them in stores and what not. From iv heard, oxbox chin pellets are being repackaged and undergoing a name change to Essentials Chinchilla Pellets. The pellets themselves are supposed to remain the same tho. The...

Last Thursday i had to put poor Chico down. He wasnt rebounding from any of his issues. Irregardless of whether or not it was the root going into the eye socket or not, he was in pain. That much was certain. So i took him in and and him put down. He died 6:30pm 1/21/16. Chico was my very first...

I wanted to see what some ppl thought of dandys xrays here. I took him in three months ago. I was told he had a previous leg injury and the vet gave him low chance of survival (made no sense to me). But his last owner kept him anyway. She said she did little range of motion with his leg. When...

Took chico to the vet for his eye again today. But i brought Houdini as well since he needed a new bottle of metacam and to be seen again before going through with his surgery for his bladder stone. I mentioned before that houdini had lost about 115 grams in weight. Hes eating and drinking some...

This is just something iv been wondering as of late. Safe twigs come from trees that have not been treated with pesticides or chemicals. But what about weed killers on a lawn to get rid of weeds BEFORE any such tree was ever planted?

something iv been wondering about for a while now. When i move the chins will have there own little room. But where the two double FN cages will have to go is right in front of a double window. I was wondering the best way to deal with this. Im not sure regular curtains would block enough of...

May-29-2015 4:33 AM My last ferret Buddy took his last breath :cry3: Considering how many health issues he had, its pretty amazing he lived as long a life as he did. He was probably around 2 when i first took him in from his last owners. I had him for 5-6 years iir. Poor guy had the worst...

I got a new place but havnt moved into it yet. I was considering having the outside sprayed down for insects and arachnids and what not. Even tho the chins havnt moved in yet, i was wondering if there are certain kinds of sprays to avoid; or specific kinds that are better to use.

So i heard about this today. Obviously i hadn't heard about it prior and was wondering if anyone else has heard about this. I was supposed to get a new bag of the pro this month. Basically that the Manna Pro & Sho foods have been causing deaths in large amounts of chinchillas due to mildew in...

Can chins hear dog whistles?

Has anyone every heard of/dealt with chromium in a chins diet before? My vet was mentioning it in regard to issues with chico. He has sticky urine again likely from the high glucose in there. They urine sample also showed crystals in the urine.
