Hello. Thank you. I do give him a little pain meds. He has been eating on his own everyday. I just don't think enough. And since I have two in the same cage, it is hard to tell who is eaing what. I will give it a day or two and then take him back to the vet for a few days, if there is no...

Yip. Four hands if he is feral chin - like mine:p

Good day. My chin went for dental surgery 10 days ago. He is three years old. The surgery went well but they kept him for five days for observation and syringe feeding. He's been home for five days now, but losing weight everyday. Very little, but still dropping. I think his teeth is better. I...

Hello everyone. I'm sure this subject has popped-up in the past. I have two Chins. Got them when they were 3 months. Even then they would come on my lap for treats, but just hop away when I tried to touch them. It has only gotten worse. They are 18 months now, and I can't get close to them...

Thank you for the input. I did find someone yesterday who are handy and have made wheels to specs for other people. They are going to send me some pictures and pricing. My Chins like the wheel. I don't want to take it away from them unless I have no other choice.

What kind of bathing house are you using?

Dusting Hi. My one Chin used to bath in a wooden bowl. Then I got fancy and bought some bath houses - made specifically for Chins. He immediately stopped dusting. I tried everything, even picking him up and putting him in the bath house. He would sniff around a bit and then hop out. Eventually...

Hi there. I have a problem. In my country, Chinchillas are not very common and you have to actually do a bid searching to find one. Most pet shops do not have them. So you can imagine that the accessories list is almost negligible. I know the story of the wheel size, but the biggest wheel I can...

This antibiotics also had no effect. The course finishes on Saturday, and I skipped his baths just in case. That does not help. Things will have to go back to normal on Saturday. There does not seem to be anything else I can do. Maybe nature will take its course and naturally heal the eye over...

Hi and thank you for the kind response. I am using dust from a very reputable expert. Most shops stocks his dust. So I think the dust is good. They bath outside of the cage, and I take it away when I see they are "done" spinning. I am 99% sure I do everything else right, but your line of...

Hi there. My first post, and already asking for advice. My Chinchilla's one eye got some sort of infection a while back. The eye is a bit puffy, sometimes a bit wet, and often just partially open, with the hair around the eye not as smooth as it should be (which from reading other posts, are...

Hi, I got my chins yesterday. They are 3 months old. They took the move pretty badly, and seems to be scared and very wary of me -which is fully understandable. And I am quite happy to give them their time to get used to the new surroundings. I don't mind if it takes some weeks or longer. But I...

Thank you Jaysburn, I am going the pine route as an interim, but I have sent specs to a metal works place to see what they can cup with. Renier

Hello everyone, I am an exciting guy who will be getting his chins in 4 days. In my country we can not get ready-made cages. For rats yes, but my chins will have a three-story palace. Now I had to resort to getting a big parrot cage. I have to somehow now get floors / pans for the three levels...
