We work with a nature center that has a traveling show. At some place in New Jersey, someone approached the owners with a miserable drowned rat of a chin in a bare Marchorio cage with a plastic dust house and an aluminum bird toy. To quote one of the owners, "I couldn't leave her like that!" The...

I bought this Chin Spin used from a member on here, but haven't had it in the cage in a while b/c of the amount of noise it causes. (It's the one with hooks on the back, so I had to basically shim it into place with white pine board to keep it on the thing anyway.) But, I'm also fostering a...

Post your Chinchilla's Letter to Santa below (for help figuring out Secret Santa gifts).

So, I know a lot of users here are far more familiar with Fed Ex's shipping policies than I am, and I need some input. I have a cat that has stopped using the litter boxes. I suspect it's because Feline Pine clumping litter now contains pellets from the other type, and she prefers very fine...

It's a hidden objects + world building game; you open levels by decorating a Victorian-esque garden with replicas of ancient and modern wonders, plants, etc., and then travel through time to remove out of place objects like bowling pins and bug spray from pictures of historic scenes. It requires...

I'm a dipstick. :cry3: Instead of actually checking my Evac Kit for an extra pound of Mazuri pellets, I just assumed it was there. So, when I filled bowls tonight and emptied the pellets container, I realized I'm out. :( Could somebody PLEASE overnight post me a pound of Mazuri pellets? I...

Early this morning (4 AM?) my foster cat threw up. I figured, "Eh, just a hair ball. It'll come up," cleaned up, and went back to bed. Around 7, she brought up a small lump of what looks like feather pieces from a toy and I thought that was the end of it. Well, she's thrown up 4 times since...

Until now, my most important chin-related purchase has been my Ferret Nation cage. I could use some input on air conditioners. I have a small apartment on the top floor of a divided/renovated Victorian house ca: 1900. The largest rooms are the bedroom and living room, each are 10' x 12'(ish)...

The picture below was taken tonight, after I received a hay order from a new supplier in Upstate New York. Which do you think looks like the better hay, the one on the left or the one on the right? (I know which one I'm happier with, and I know how the chins reacted to it, but a...

I've come across a rabbit supply store (online) that has a few Edstrom "Water Buddy" 8 oz valve water bottles left. These are the only water bottles I've ever seen that don't leak. But, they're PVC plastic, so they can't go through the dish washer, and occasionally a really determined chin can...

http://www.latimes.com/sns-bc-us--cockfightdeath,0,2144295.story From the above article: DELANO, California (AP) — A man who was at an illegal cockfight in central California died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to its own limb, officials confirmed Monday...

Hi Hedgie half of the forum. I'm a chin mom but pop over occasionally to stare at the cuteness. I've also got a friend with an 8 mo old male hedgie named Spiny Norman who I will be hogsitting from 1/10 until 1/16ish, so I've spent a good amount of time reading around the basics of hedgie care to...

No, I'm not getting on the "baby dust" bandwagon (though my best wishes go to Allie and the other 30 of you who have temporary passengers! lol). I've been thinking about "a buddy" for Crash for the past few months, and now, I'm almost ready to bring them home! After I tile the bottom of my FN...

If I can't figure out a safe way to get Crash into and out of his new cage, I'm afraid he's not going to be able to have playtime. The problem is that he hates being picked up, so any time he's in an open area, he's nearly impossible to catch. Usually, he has playtime in a small section of my...

Last night I had a dream that still had me scared when I woke up today. I'm honestly still a little nervous about it now. In the dream, the older child I live with came into my room while I was sleeping (I rent room from a friend who has 2 kids) and destroyed everything he could touch. The...

Repost from Facebook: Brush fires have erupted in Southern California, threatening many dog rescues located in the area, including Villalobos Rescue Center, and the Brittany Foundation. According to KTLA, the fires developed around 2:20 this afternoon. Sources close to those in charge of the...

Please send good thoughts and prayers for my boyfriend's dog, Rascal. He's an 11 year old Golden Retriever who was found unconscious with a 105* fever and signs of heat stroke yesterday. I don't have too many details, but this dog is very *very* special to C., and to me even though I don't know...

So not only do I have a QC cage with a chipping pan (that's been addressed in a different thread), but my chin has discovered that some of the wire clamps at the corners are loose, so he can rattle them to get my attention or when he's bored. If the cage weren't in my bedroom (the most cat proof...
