Gizmo has dried pee on his fur around his rear end. I thought I read somewhere that you can use a bit of water to clean them as long as you use a blow dryer on the cool setting to completely dry them. Is this right? Is there a better way to clean the pee off? Could it be brushed out of the fur?

I think Gizmo might not be feeling well and I don't know what to do. He had his cage cleaned this morning and since then he seems to have pooped very little. He has a few poops in his cage but not nearly as many as usual. Also the poops that are in there are soft. He was active this morning...

Ok I have a couple of questions that don't really have anything to do with each other. First off, peeing. Gizmo has been peeing in non bedded areas of his cage. Is there anything we can do about that? It wouldn't be such a big deal but it splashes out of the cage onto the carpet. Also, we are...

Hello everyone! I just joined a few days ago because my boyfriend and I have gotten our first ever chinchilla. He is 4 months old and just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. We did a lot of research before getting him but there is always more to learn and I'm sure we'll both have tons of...
