Hey everyone. I used to post on here much more frequently. I got a teaching job and new house and have been super busy for a while. So I have been reading some, but not really posting much. We still have our chins and soon will be adding another addition to our household as I am due in November...

In the last two months I have had 3 super pet water bottles fall off my FNs and smash on the floor. (two just last week Tuesday and Wednesday). I don't know if it is from them running on the wheel or what, but I wasn't in the room either time so I'm not sure what they were doing when it fell...

I have a white-capped pionus that is housed upstairs in our dining room. I feel like she doesn't get enough attention there. I thought about moving her into the chin room, but I have hesitations. 1. The chins are in the basement. There are two small windows that let in light, but never a ton...

Anyone speak any other languages? I grew up only speaking English, but I love to study them. I have studied Mandarin Chinese for 5 years, and currently teach it to middle school students.

First off, I am NOT considering this, but I found it interesting that it has been done. It sounds too painful to me, and not worth it (it kills the teeth, and then they would just wear down eventually). I was just surfing the web, as one of my chins is having tooth problems. Here is a link to a...

For those of you who may not remember. One of our boys had some teeth issues. He had his teeth filed in May, he seemed fine for a while, but I just discovered when taking him out for playtime that he is drooling again. I had been hopeful because he started to eat alot of hay (which he had never...

I am looking to buy a few fleece tubes, and I was just wondering which ones you like the best? I thought about getting the metal base ones, but didn't know if it would be worth it over a PVC one. I currently have 1 PVC fleece covered tube and like that one. Also, I know there are different...

I was just surfing craigslist earlier and came across an add for a ferret nation! We just went and picked it up. 75 bucks! It is in great condition-just needs to be washed. I am hoping to put Dash and Bok together again. They were together before, for a short while, but Bok was getting a...

I haven't posted any pictures of our babies in a while, so I thought I would put up a few cute ones. This one is of Mog. He is the rescue we picked up last fall at the show in New York. His fur was so terrible when we got him. The fur on the top of his head was curly and really cottony. He is...

So. I just had an argument about this, and I am wondering what everyone thinks. If your middle school child cheated on a test. Would you expect the teacher to allow a make up test? Should the test be the same difficulty? Harder? Or should that child just get a zero?

Look how cute! He is going to be a new Pokemon! And I thought pikachu was a chinchilla. This one is named Chiramii-the chinchilla pokemon! lol.

Whew. That was weird. I was playing a video game in my room which is in the basement, when I heard a weird noise. It sounded like faint squeaking and at first I thought it was the chins. When it got louder, I got nervous. The chin room is right next to mine in the basement, so I went in to...

So our poor boy Bok had started drooling again. Frustrated with the vets around here we drove him out two hours to Dr. Lucas in Saratoga Springs. She was the first vet that we felt comfortable with so far, and really seemed to know what she was talking about. We were a little nervous as we heard...

Sorry this is a little long. I want to include a little background. Some of you may remember I had a few posts about my chinchilla Bok. He had been suspected of having teeth problems, because he was drooling and not eating his hay as much. We got him x-rays, which some of you on here said...

Sorry I have not updated at all in a while. I just got a new job, and that has kept me extreemly busy the last month. If you don't remember what was going on, here is the original thread. http://chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11936 We got a second opinion about the X-rays. The...

Bok Choy one of our new chins (we got him about 6 months ago), just began having drool all around his face and down his front. We tried cleaning him up best we can, and giving him a dust bath to help. Other than this he seems normal. He is eating, drining, and seems peppy. We made an...

As you might remember we tried introducing Bok and Dash a few weeks ago. Bok started to get nervous and got squishy poo, so we separated them in favor of introducing them a little bit slower. His poo cleared up, and then Dash's started to get soft. Now, they both have soft poo. They are in...

So. Quarentine for Bok our little standard boy was up like a week and a half ago and so we introduced him to Dash our 1 1/2 year old standard. There was initially chasing and a small amount of fur. After a few days of this they settled down and there was only a little bit of humping, so we put...

I just watched a mouse crawl acrost my floor! We live in the basement and they have been known to sqeeze under the door...but we just put a doorstop in so I have no idea where he got in. My Fiance is waiting for him to make a run for it and catch him. Ya know. We just caught one last week. We...

Okay, I figure it is about time to introduce these guys. First up is Bok Choy (Bok for short) He was a little unexpected for us. My fiance's brother called us and said his neighbor had a chin they wanted to get rid of. So we drove out to pick him up. When we got him, his cage was disgusting...
