cool ill be sure to put lots of shelves in it! We just made and added two more so they dont have to jump as far and such, and i added an anti-pill fleece hammock. Tomorrow we're wrapping the shelves in fleece as well so they have some cozy padding to sleep on or jump onto. We're gonna keep...

Hey guys! Today we got our first ferret nation cage for our chins. It was pre-owned by my niece and we got it for free from her. We cleaned it three times thoroughly, and then started construction on it to make it "chin-safe" and "chin-proof" because my chins are EXTREMELY good at escaping 😂 I...

There was no smell at all. Today poops are now normal, chin is active as normal, and no blood at all, and he is eating and drinking normally again. Ill have her check into giardia!

Update: i sent her a screenshot of what you said, and she went out and bought Timothy hay, correct chinchilla food, and the infant gas drops and has been doing what you said. She scheduled him an appointment at a vet that works with exotic animals. The soonest they could get her in to see the...

Okay so, my friend is not a part of this forum but she asked me a question about her chin since im the only person she knows personally who owns chinchillas. Here is the problem. Her chin developed diarrhea today pretty bad. She accidentally bought and fed him the wrong food at the store. She...

I have two boys ages 1.5 years and 9 months, father and son, who we are bonding right now so they will be able to be caged together soon. They do exactly as your describing as well, but the way they're doing it is to assert dominance, and determine who is the "king of the cage" so to speak. Im a...

Ahhhh ferret nation, i should have thought of them to check online for. Im in a super small town in Michigan in the USA. We have a walmart, a tractor supply co. And a rural king store and theres only one petco within driving distance and its small. All 4 stores have close to NOTHING for...

Oh yes cages had just been cleaned. And were under heavy quarantine at the moment in my state, so i can't go buy or replace some of his normal play things. He does have two other ramps, house, hammock that are all out of the cage and were being cleaned. As far as cage size, yes its the one im...

It was like this, but with both of them in the cage and for longer durations before they would pause. (This is just the dad doing it alone because we took his son out for the night now) Gizmo running

That all makes sense. Thank you! As an update, i did go ahead and separate them at night last night just incase, and put them back together in a cage today. Weve had no fighting, and they cuddled most of the day. but when it had been like 12 hours of them being together, they did start become...

Okay so. Heres the current situation but its a very long story short. Ill give bullet points here. -question is after the bullet points for anyone who doesnt want their back story- *i adopted two neglected chins in july last year. They were 1.5 and two years old. And both malnourished *we...

Hi everyone, so today my chin randomly got diarrhea and I have no idea what to do. I've looked through all the threads with the same kind of stories, but Im still kind of unsure what I'm dealing with here. I took a pic of her poos, they're runny/soft and mushy and she's tracking it when she...

Oh thank god I'm glad that's normal! Lol! 😆 and yes he's a heterozygous beige! Good eye!

What state are you located?? I'll definitely keep you in mind! And awe I love when people take animals who were once neglected and give them a happier life!!

Hi guys just wondering if these little black dots on my chins ears are just a coloration? Or some kind of sign that hes sick? I havent really looked at his ears too much since ive gotten him (cuz hes usually running too fast to look) so i cant remember if ive seen them on him before or if theyre...

Not entirely sure about the scooting.. That's strange. One of my chins does shoot pee at her water bottle when i fill it though. Thought mine was just weird.. Lol!

That definitely looks more sand like. The stuff I use is from Walmart and it's super fine and Grey. It does a really good job at cleaning them.

So sorry for your loss :( he's in peace now. I'll be thinking of you in this hard time :(

Unfortunately I have no advice as I'm a new chin owner myself, but I did want to tell you that I hope your little chinny feels better soon and gets back to good health. Poor little one :(

Hi everyone! I'm Savannah! I'm a full time musician professionally and new to the chinchilla owner world! It started as a love of chinchillas when I first saw one when I was 5 but never had the money to get one. Then I was offered two chinchillas that had been adopted out from two sets of owners...
