    Alone chinchilla

    Alone chinchilla

    Alone chinchilla

    Hi, I do not want another chin. I dread when they pass and I am just heart broken, like now. I will watch him to see if he is fine on his own. But I do catch him running to the mesh screen to see if Hershey is there.

    Timothy hay packing

    Let me know if I am being too picky. I usually get my hay from RabbitHole and it is packaged in plastic in a new box or I just buy the smaller bags. I ordered some hay from Etsy to try out, just 2 pounds. It came in a Amazon box that had seen better days and was not packed in a plastic bag. I do...

    Chinchilla not himself

    We took Hershey back in and he got the complete work up. EKG, Ultra sound, bloodwork all came back good. But he did show some Spondylitis on his spine along with the arthritis in his hind legs. He is on gabapentin twice a day and metacam once a day. Hopefully he will adjust to the gabapentin...
