I know this subject comes up a lot, and I thought I understood the information I can find on the web, but now I have someone telling me that a vet is giving out different info. From this website and others I gathered fur fungus and ringworm were the same thing. That it is super annoying, but not...

So I was wondering how you know what color chin you have if they are always changing colors? We have a girl that is 5 weeks old. When she was born she looked like a standard, and she's been lightening up ever since. Now she looks white with gray tips. She's even lighter than the second pic now...

I just had a litter of two white chins from a first-time mommy. I don't know what's going on, but today is day 3 and she has been playing keep away from her babies all morning. She doesn't want them by her, and when they try to go to her she will bark and nip at them. But then she will run them...

I have two white babies, and one is definitely a pink white, but the other one has slightly darker pink ears. Are wilson's born with dark ears or do they darken over time?

We received three surprises yesterday morning. Looks like two mosaics and a beige to me. We think they may be all females, but we will recheck in a week. Here's all the pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66468181@N05/sets/72157633012426323/

I was surprised by a litter of 3 beautiful babies this morning, and since the mom is new I wanted to help out with hand-feedings. I saw on the FAQ that there is a formula of 1 can goat's milk, 1 can water, and 1 T. baby rice cereal. I was wondering how much a can is since I usually find goat's...

One of my chins is missing hair around both of his eyes. They are not red or crusty or anything, but bald. I haven't seen anything on this forum, so I thought I would ask what is going on. The pic doesn't show it very well, but you can tell it's not red or flaky at least...

Hi, I'm not sure why this is happening, but every time I post a chins for sale ad, it's deleted within a day. Why is this happening? Thanks, ~Valerie

Does anyone have a chart of weights from birth on for a healthy chin? It would be great to have some examples I can look at all the time instead of asking every week or so how much my babies should weigh.

How long after weaning should we wait before letting a male back into her cage? Also, when do you retire females from breeding?

One of our chinchilla likes to pee on plastic and sit in it, as a result the fur around her lady parts is yellow, would that hurt her if we showed her?

Can I wean babies into a ferret nation cage, or would I still have to baby proof it?

Hi, I was wondering how a person can go about informing pet stores how to properly care for chins in a way that will motivate them to do so. There is a pet store around here that has been carrying chinchillas for a while. First they were mislabeling pink-white chins as mosaics and charging more...

Where is there a place where I can order a good cage? I'm looking for a cage with little to no plastic included. I'm also interested in building a cage myself, but I don't know how to go about it because I've never done something like that before and I don't have a lot of money to throw at it...

Hi, My chinchilla Butters is a little over one year now and his feet and ears look dry. His feet have flaky white patches and his ears look a little scaly. They are not red or anything, just flaky and I was wondering if he had a fungus or just dry skin, and what do I do about it? Thanks, ~Valerie
