Hi all, so we are making a huge move from california to idaho in a few months. Itll either be a 3 day trip with one night in a hotel or a 2 day trip straight shooting it. The current carrier my chins have is really small and i dont want them to be in that carrier for 2-3 days. Fitting 2 of them...

Hi so I just went to let my chins out for some exercise and noticed some yellowish type goop under my chinchillas mouth. Never seen anything like this and Google doesn't seem to be helping. She just went to the vet 2 days ago for a tooth trimming and they did a general check to make sure she's...

So my new chinchilla has gone through some medical issues and she has lost quite a bit of weight. Shes gained a lot of it back but i can feel her spine when i pet her when shes in a sitting position. She doesn't have much fur on her back rn as she lost it from being spooked at the vet. Is she...

Hi so i rescued my second chinchilla 3 weeks ago and we were told she showed symptoms of teeth issues but they had her checked out mupltipe times and she look fine. Since we got her i suspected it was malo, especially considering the symptoms she was already displaying, hunching, grinding teeth...

Hi so my chinchilla cut her leg on wednesday at about 1 am. The vet cleared her for breaks and sent us home with some antibiotics and anti immflamiroty. She is running around more now but she puts very little pressure on the leg and limps around mostly. Is there anyway i can help her stop limping?

Hi I am adding a third level to my chins cage and wanted to make the top primarily ledges and hanging house and cuddle tubes and hammocks and just fill it with items like that. I went online to gather design ideas and saw a lot of long wooden ladders that go from one side of the cage to the...

Hi this weekend its going to get up to 110 degrees and all of our county has been instructed to not use the AC as the system may get overloaded and break. I was planning to keep her in a dark cool room and put her tile in the freezer and alternate them as well as glasses of ice. What else can i...

Besides keeping the a/c running wat are some other ways to keep my chinchilla cool during the summer. I have a lot of granite slabs in her cage that she lays on a lot but rn California is in a state of emergency due to heat and fires. I keep her water cold and provide plenty of it. What are some...

Hi Ya'll! I have been thinking about getting my chinchilla a friend recently as well as expanding her cage. I would love to own a white mosaic chinchilla but I'm not picky. Are there any breeders or rescues in southern California that you guys would suggest

Hi so I need to find a chinchilla safe way to get rid of odor in the room she is housed in. Ik candles and air fresheners are terrible for their respiratory systems. Ik chins aren't really smelly animals but their are others animals in the same room that can cause an odor. I keep my window open...

Hi so last night my Chinchilla snatched 2-3 whole rosehips while i wasnt looking and ate them all. Is there anything I should be concerned about or do. I am expecting diarrhea due to stomach upset but not sure if theres anything i can do for her or should be worried about

Hi I have had my chinchilla for a year now and have been dreaming about getting a second. However, Roo is a rescue and lived alone in a garage for most of her life. I dont know how old she is and I dont think she has lived with another chin before. Is there something I could look for in her...

Hi Roo has many quirks but this is by far the most interesting. She'll crawl on my shoulder or my face and lick me. Her mouth will find my earlobe, nose, lip and she'll put her mouth on it and wont bite down but I can feel her tongue on me. Does anyone elses chin do this?

Hi so I am planning on getting a Green Cheeked Conure pretty soon and I wanted to know if there would be any concerns with housing my chin and the GCC together. When I mean together I mean their cages will be in the same room and my GCC will be able to explore freely throughout the room. I know...

Does anyone know a complete list of safe woods and materials to give to chinchillas??

I have had Roo for about a year now and her cage went from a very simple critter nation with just a few toys and 1 hut to what I have now. There are several ledges with ALOT if toys and several huts as well. I only want the best for her and want to create the best environment. I have...

I recently received aroma therapy candles and they are made of soy. I know bees wax candles are one of the few that are safe but is soy also good?

Hi we've been having a lot of earthquakes recently and their aftershocks. The animals haven't really reacted to them but the recent Aftershock was strong enough to knock a plant off the window sill. I've been worried about Roo and what would happen if there was a strong one. Do you know any...

So for the past day or 2 Roo has been acting a little weird. Just not very active when I come over to pet her. Its 10:30 at night and she is fast aslpee which is very odd. She has been on her cooling stone but it did't get that hot today (68 degrees was the high) and i had my window open and...

Hi I have noticed earlier today that her poop has been green. But it isn't runny or diarrhea. It looks and feels the same, but its green. It looks as if she ate a bunch of hay and pooped it out. Just want to make sure she isnt dying or anything XD
