    Safe bath houses

    I have a plastic one that looks like a house which I put on a towel for her bath. She sometimes digs at the dust so this helps maintain a relatively clean area. I then fold the towel up when done and shake out.

    Vet check ups

    My vet says 1x a year is fine unless we see something that may indicate otherwise.

    Teaching your Chinchilla "No?"

    I believe my chin also prefers sounds. When I want her in the cage, I snap my fingers and say "in your cage." Usually, she listens and responds. When she is digging at her playpen (which is see-thru plastic) I say "no" and make a sound like "aaaaak" and she usually stops.

    Chinchillas in earthquakes

    Perhaps you could get one of the ties (similar to what Ikea uses) and attach it to the wall.

    Natural environment cage.

    Sounds like Chin Heaven... Your idea sounds wonderful. I would love to have a chin room where all I have to do is open the cage door and she would have her choice to things to do. I can't do that now as I live in a rental so I don't want things on the wall) and she won't let me hold her...

    How many brush their Chins?

    I recently seen a picture of a owner combing their chin. I have read that this is not necessary and I would like your opinions. If so, what type of brush/comb, should I buy? Thanks.

    Cuddling during playtime

    You are so lucky. Sunshine will sit on my lap, but never allows me to hold her. I can pet her until she feels she has had enough then off she goes. Maybe in time, I have only had her since late Feb.

    First time chin owner, how am I doing?

    What you may want to do is what I did for the bottom storage area of my cage. I went to Joann's and got a poster board, fleece remnants, and glued it together. It prevents her feet from the wire and was reasonably priced. The glue is on the bottom and isn't reachable for her to get to.

    Music

    My nightly routine for my chin is right before I am going to sleep or playtime is over, I put either classical music or cartoons on for them. I was told by the lady that I rescued Sunshine from that she enjoys both so each night I change it up. I put on classical music but honestly can't say...

    Cuddling during playtime

    I just recently got my chin so I am no expert; however, when Sunshine does that, I assume she feels comfortable with me.

    Is this safe

    1211 Sola Sticks With Bark 6 Pack Duh, don't know what it did that. I have already bought these but don't want to give it to her, if it isn't safe.

    I know Sola balls are ok for Chins but what about this? https://bonkabirdtoys.com/bird-toys-/bird-toy-parts-diy-supplies/

    Roaming free

    Thanks. You basically summed up what I was thinking. I let her out at night and she can roam around in her own little fenced in area. She definitely knows something outside of the pin (probably due to sugar glider smell) but so far hasn't tried to jump out. I always rely on your knowledge.

    Roaming free

    I have posted the fact that I have a small little play area for Sunshine. She knows that there is something outside of the area and always shows interest in getting out. I would let her out but I am renting a house and it is not "chin proofed," the last time, she chewed on the baseboards which...

    Chinchilla Toys

    Thanks Thank you so much. I am not giving her the ones you listed. After going on AZ Chins website, I discovered I am giving her pumice stones. Sorry that I wasted your time.
