I brought my chin with me to my parent’s house for a few days and she ended up getting fleas, is there anything I can do for her to get rid of them? My parents have some high quality flea drops for cats(not the cheap stuff from Walmart) and suggested putting just one drop on the back of her...

Today while saying hello to my chin I noticed one of her eyes won’t open all the way. It’s clearly effecting her vision as she seems to stumble and miss ledges on the one side. It looks like a bit of fur is holding her eye shut, but she won’t let anyone touch it. What should I do about this?

I couldn’t find anything from Google about it so I wanted to ask here. I’ve noticed any time my chin slips some fur she’ll end up eating it. Is this normal?

Recently my chin has started getting very ’argumentative’ during playtime. Playtime hasn’t changed for a long time but she’s been getting quick to anger when she doesn’t get her way. Something as simple as stopping her from chewing on my pants or picking her up to put her away has been leading...

I went to the pet store to buy some hay for my chin but found several different kinds of Oxbow hay to choose from. There is Oat Hay, Western Timothy Hay, Orchard Grass Hay, Alfalfa Hay, and Hay Blends. I know Alfalfa Hay is only meant to be given as a treat, but I don’t know about the others...

(Apologies if there is a more appropriate section to put this) I’ve seen a few mentions that chins like listening to music; is there a specific genre chins seem to like more than others or is it random for each chin? I’d love to hear other people’s experiences with their chin reacting to...

My house has very large rooms, so we’ve chin proofed a couple of them and let Gracie have free reign of the room during play time. Usually she just runs around having fun with the occasional visit to us before she takes off again, recently however she has started visiting me more often and for...

Hello to everyone on this lovely forum. My name is Jesse and I have recently found myself with an adorable chinchilla; we named her Gracie. Gracie was a surprise gift from my parents so I wasn’t really prepared for her, luckily I had an old chin cage I had gotten from a friend that I used to...

A couple months ago my parents surprised me with a pet chinchilla and a few basics to keep her happy. I had an old chinchilla cage that I used to use for my hamster, so I cleaned it up, filled it with bedding, set up some toys and let her check it out. It’s a wire cage with three platforms...
