Hi All, So I've been reading up about chin introductions here and got some good basic info but was hoping to get a little more detail. Onyx and Bella have been quarantined and have been in separate cages separated by a few inches for a few weeks and have been having good playtime as well. They...

Hi All, So we have a new addition to my household. And I now have two girls. I have their cages a few inches apart and the older one (Onyx) has been investigating, just sitting on top of her house while the younger one (Penelope, or Penny for short) plays and explores her new cage. There...

Hi all, I've had my little girl Onyx for about a year and a half now and love her to pieces. So recently I've been thinking about getting a cage mate for her to to make her happier and have someone to be around during the day since I'm a student and don't get to see her until I take her out at...

Now before I even start I want to point out that Onyx is showing no signs of pain. But while we were on our daily jaunt in the bathroom tonight (ps we're really bonding! Even though she's kind of goofy sometimes) I looked at her hind feet and noticed that the paws closest to her body on both...

Alright guys everything is going great so far, I took Onyx out of her cage last night for the first time to put her in her dust bath and tomorrow I'll have had her a week. I don't want to take her out too soon but I also don't want to wait too long and have her become depressed. When should I...

After purchasing my chinchilla, the woman at petsmart told me to give her a dust bath on Monday. Since the day is coming up I was just wondering if people had found more success in just using a bowl with chin dust in it, or if chinchillas take better to a dust house. Sorry guys I just want to...

I just got my first chinchilla last night and I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. How long should I wait to handle her? I'm providing her with a chinchiller and plenty of hay and food. She came out and explored her cage for an hour or so last night but has only come out once...
