Thank you for your reply! I saw on some people on quora write they spend $1,000-1,500+ a year for ONE chin!! I honestly have a very hard time wrapping my mind around how you could possibly spend that much.(part of that was $240 a year for dust!😳) I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a budget.😅

Here’s mine: 1. $25 (Mazuri 25 lb bag) 2. $36 (Dumor hay- 9 lbs) 3. $50-$70 (just placed my orders for 300 toys/you parts at Amazon and allbirdtoybuilders.com) 4. $15 (White mountain herbs) 5. $20 (oxbow poof-6 lbs) 6. Inapplicable 7. $10-$15 (primarily wood) Total: $180

@Amethyst @JohhnyBishop @tunes What are y’all’s budgets? :)

How much do you spend on… 1. Pellets 2. Hay 3. Toys 4. Treats 5. Dust 6. Vet visits & prescription meds 7. Misc Total: LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS!

Thank you!

It's my male who acts weird while she's in heat, lol.

I wish I could help but I only have one girl and she doesn't seem too different while in heat. Thank you for the update, praying for a good recovery for her!

I love Rondas but the shipping always gets me. :(

I recently tried White Mountain Herbs and was pleasantly surprised at their variety, quality and low prices. (plus, free shipping over $20) They sell by the oz. However, since the site isn't for chinchillas, you'll have to be sure to double check which ones are safe. for example, I ordered...

I've just always used Dumor from tractor supply.(if you live in the USA) They are inexpensive and high quality!

Probably just his favorite spot. It looks like you have a tile there so probably feels a little cooler too.😁

Yes, I was aware that they were shut down. I think they actually mentioned that in the post this video was in...I had just seen this and thought I would mention it as another example of what some are like.

I found this video too. So sad!😭😖 Just a warning though, this video is VERY disturbing so watch at your own risk.

Welcome and congratulations on your new baby, he's super cute!🥰

That's a great idea. If either of mine ever need to use critical care, I'll have to try that. I always try to keep a small stock of it.

Oxbow critical care might be a good alternative to actual hay powder(if that's what you mean) considering it contains vitamins, minerals needed to help with recovery. I have never used critical care as I have never had a reason but I do always have a small supply stored for emergencies. Just an...

I personally have never had to care for a grieving chin but I have heard that purchasing/making a "chinnie buddie" for them can help. @Amethyst may be able to offer more tips. Welcome to ChinsnHedgies!

Yes, similar to peach, cherry wood (and also the stone) contains cyanide which is basically poison that makes it difficult for chins to breathe. I learned this the hard way, stay away from both.😬

Thank you for the update, glad she is doing better!!❤️

Yes, as amethyst said, personality is a huge influence when it comes to chins. Babies are easier to tame but the end result will vary by chin. For example, I got my older one from a reputable breeder where he was cared for and played with and then my younger I got from a pet store. To this day...
