I do react a bit, but only because it hurts, she has sharp little teeth! She never bites me when I am cleaning out her cage or anything like that, it's always when she is out of her cage. I will have to learn how to not react to her when she does that I guess.

Immediately followed by her biting me. She has favored my fiance over me since LAST YEAR when she was sick and I had to force feed her every couple hours. Do any of your chins bite you? She doesn't draw blood but she makes it known that she prefers him. Eventually she has to forgive me right...

There was a craiglist add for 2 5 year old standard female chinchillas, Chi and Kiwi. They come with a cage and extras. I called the phone number and spoke to the owners briefly. No history of disease or illness, the chins are friendly and have been bonded their whole lives. I get to meet them...

Bella, my chin, has recently started chewing on things more frequently. I was wondering if this was normal. She used to be pretty good about only chewing on her chew toys and her house. The past couple days she has gotten super active, definately alot more than before. She will run around her...

oxbow timothy hay.. it's what my chinchilla likes.

Great article! And the picture too!!!!!!! You did good!

Bella is doing much better. She is eating and drinking on her own for the most part (with the exception of med time). Yesterday was her last day on Bactrim and today is her last day on Metacam. I will continue to monitor her vigilantly to be sure that she continues to eat and drink and be happy...

what about pain meds for the hurt paw? even if it isn't broken it probably still hurts, maybe sprained?

I live right between 2 lakes in the middle of nowhere so there are quite a few mosquitos and oftentimes there are a few in the house that are impossible to get rid of. I was wondering if the mosquitos could possibly be bothering my chinchilla?

I have never been banned from getting animals, I stop myself from getting them because I know what we can afford and what we cannot since I am a student. It is HIM that wants more chinchilla's. He wants to learn more about them and start breeding. I am really iffy on that, and I do not think he...

It is me!

the chin still needs more hay and no pellets for now.. lots of hay. and is your vet chin knowledgable? Did he do bloodwork?

I am not sure about the lotion thing, but I'd maybe give a vet a call and ask? Or possibly bring the chins into a vet?

Thanks guys! I have tried to give her scritches and love, but she doesn't want anything to do with me right now. I have been giving her some space as well.

I would steal Handbag most definately, he is such a cutie!

I have been handfeeding Bella and giving her meds lately. She used to just come to the cage the second the door opened, and she used to try to escape too. Since I have been handfeeding she has turned into an angry chin. If I so much as reach into her cage she will bark at me. She mostly wants...
