I have a 4 month old chinchilla. He was born premature with a twin by almost a month and is about half the size he should be. He survived and everything was fine. He has the most active personality and was always bouncing around the cage. Yesterday night I went to check on him and he wasn’t...

It's been a few months and we had a few healing issues, he chewed one of his toes off, but its healed completely! (he is just missing a toe now) We did take him into the vet and got meds. Then he was taken into the vet a few times for follow ups and his last follow up is today. He had a cast on...

So we could not afford to take her to the vet at the time but she did go back to normal in terms of eating, drinking, pooping, and peeing. But 2 things have been different ever since the day I stepped on her. 1 her mom fought her *** soon as I put her back in the cage. She has lived with her mom...

We could not afford to pay a vet bill for her so she never went. She did end up going back to usual in terms of eating, drinking, pooping and peeing. But ever since that day her mom would fight her when I put her in the cage. I still wonder why and was hoping somebody knew. She has lived with...

So I called my vet that day and she said I could bring him in if I want but there is noting she can do since we knew it was not broken. She said she needed me to wait a couple days and if it turned black or blue then he lost blood flow and the leg needed to be taken off. I did and it remained...

I have a baby chinchillas born on may 20th. One of them got its foot stuck in the panel as I cleaned out the cage and I didn’t realize it, I was in a hurry and I have been gone all day. When I got back and saw it I freed him and he is hopping around and eating but not putting any weigh on it at...

okay thank you. She seems to be doing better now, her ear is still sagging and she only eats treats, not pellets, but she is hopping around. Thanks.

I stepped on one of my chinchillas, Rosie during play time. I have had her since the day she was born for almost 3 years and the only time she has ever been sick or hurt was when she had a bladder infection which we got cleared up. Anyway. When I lifted up my foot she tilted her head and...

And she Is normally hyper. I don't know what I can do to help, she just looks really scared and low energy levels. She shakes like she is being electrocuted every time I put her cream on or pick her up

sorry my message autocorrected. She IS on painkillers and anitbiotics I got from my vet

Okay I am seriously trying to figure out this website, I just made an account today. My chinchillas were accidentally put together, I have had them for years and knew they didn’t like each other but 2 nights ago they got to each other and joy beat up pippi. She is missing almost all of her fur...

That’s really odd, I have had well over 30 chinchillas, and I breed them, but I have never had a single chinchilla do that to me. All of the baby’s we keep until they are 4 or 5 months old, I know that’s a little long but I like to be sure they are infood health before I sell them, and none of...

My 3 year old chinchilla stopped drinking water, what should I do?

I have had over 30 chinchillas in my life, I breed them, and I have always followed the rule if they didn’t immediately get along the I would just always keep them away from each other. But 2 nights ago 2 of my females that don’t get along got to each other and they attacked, I didn’t find them...

I have a critter nation 2 story cage. The little hole in the corner that connects them I have always blocked off with a firm fitting litter pan. I have had the same 2 groups of 2 chinchillas (4 in total) for the last couple years. I have always know they don’t like each other so I keep them...
