Hey! Had a quick question. I bought some hay cubes. I just noticed that alfalfa hay is the secondary ingredient, timothy hay being the primary. They're cheap, convenient, and he likes them. It's so much easier than plain hay, which he mostly wastes. Plus, he's a fur chewer, and having cubes to...

Hey there! I was gifted a big new cage for my chinchilla, Pedro. And this thing is at least double the size of his old one. But, with more space comes more need for ledges I'm pretty sure that all the ledges I have (which now counting, I only have 3) are ones I got with the old cage, which I...

I had a rare occurrence today in which Pedro let me pet his back! He usually just lets me pet his head, neck, and belly. But while I was petting him, I could very easily feel what I assume is his hip bone. It stuck out a decent amount. Just wondering, is this normal or should I be getting him to...

As (probably) none of you know, I am learning the guitar. As more of you know, I have a chinchilla named Pedro. And he gave me a genius idea. I was practicing some chords, when Pedro went insane. He started jumping around, with (as far as I know) no intention or goal. As I'm typing this, he is...

Hey y'all! So, I took my little dude, Pedro, to the vet. They recommended that, in his cage, I should put down 1 layer of litter and 1 layer of bedding. It was an Oxbow pamphlet that they gave us which told us what types to use, but that means it was all Oxbow stuff. I'm not saying that I'm...

Wow, I'm so friggin funny. That title... Anyway, my guy Pedro kinda stopped eating hay. He's been acting normal. He looks about as normal as he can get. I don't know what happened. I know hay is essential in their diet. Is there something that might have caused him to stop, and maybe a way to...

Okay, I almost have enough money for the entire Chinchilla Villa! For those of you who don't know, the Chinchilla Villa will be a large wooden cage for my little dude Pedro. I'm gonna have tons of cool ledges and huts, a feeding area, and more. I will also have 2 or 3 smaller cages, probably...

Okay, the ultimate chinchilla villa is still a WIP. But I have a cool plan for a habitat. Have you seen the episode of Animal Cribs where Antonio and the crew work on a house for 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 ferrets, and 2 rabbits? Well, he did a ton of tiny cages for the ferrets, and spread them around...

Okay, so I recently bought Oxbow Garden Select, and then learned (thank you @Amethyst) that it was bad for chins. However, my parents don't buy it. They think it's okay. I've tried talking to them, but they say that unless my chinchilla, Pedro, either won't eat it or acts unhealthy after eating...

Okay, you all might remember my chinchilla Pedro. He likes to run around and watch The Simpsons. So, we let him out in the bathroom to run around and watch The Simpsons. Apparently, Pedro likes to swim! The toilet lid was up, and Pedro jumped right in. We got him out okay, and took a nice dust...

Howdy! Hey, I recently bought a 20 lb. bag of Oxbow Garden Select chinchilla food. I like their freeze-dried small animal treats (literally all they are is tiny pieces of freeze-dried strawberry or banana. Pedro loves them, as well as my rabbit, goats, and dog. Sometimes I even eat one), and I...

All right. Some of you may know that I want to buy or build a new cage for Pedro. So... I might have enough money now, and need some good ideas. First, can you all please share some cool DIY cage ideas? Maybe something you built? It doesn't matter what it is, as long as I can build it (with...

Hey y'all! Hey, I have some cool wood in my dad's garage and wanted to make something cool out of it for Pedro, my chinchilla. I think it's either mesquite or buckthorn. It has old holes in it from beetles and looks super cool, so I wanted to see if I could make chews or a perch out of it. I...

Hey there y'all! I'm @Chinchillaville13 from Southwestern Montana. I joined because I need chinchilla advice for my little man Pedro (NOT little man as in son, I'm only 12. I mean little man as in my chinchilla). You might know me from PetForums US as @AnimalLovingIdiot13, from BackYard...
