I'm almost positive now that the sound Carl makes every now and then during the nights is a Kacking. I'll get up and check on him but I'm not sure what's causing him to make the sound. I know he can hear stuff I can't, and we have a cat who likes to run around during the night as well so he...

I plan on taking Carl to the vet relatively soon. I want them to check his eyes and mouth as much as they can. If anybody has ever had their chins eyes and mouth looked at (including x-rays) could you tell me what the vet did? How did they sedate the chin, what did the exam consist of, and a...

I hate to write this but it seems at this time i may need some help. Ive already made up my mind to call the vet as soon as i possibly can and get carl in for an appointment but around the hoildays its the worst with everybody being off for the holidays. Carl had some serious white discharge...

Carl does this a lot. Just wondering if anybody's chins do this as well. He normally does it after playtime. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got Carl a Midwest critter nation double unit small animal cage. I've been looking at it for close to a year now and finally have the money to give him a decent cage! The cage his old owner gave me for him when I first got him was so small! Granted it had 2 levels but it felt like he had...

Lately at night i've been hearing carl make this noise. I thought it was his sneezing but its not soft enough. Its like this sharp noise, almost between a bark/screech. Its hard to catch on recording otherwise id post. I'm going to search the sound thread to see if i can find it and update, but...

About 3 years ago I got Carl. Because the owner wasn't sure exactly what age he was, she gave me an estimate. 3 years later he's know around 6/7 possibly 8. It's a guessing game that I'm not fond of. When I got him, she gave me everything she has for him to me. About a year after getting him, my...

Just wanted to share some cute shots of Carl I've gotten the past few weeks :) excuse the little patch of missing fur on his tail. Unfortunately I had a week long vacay and Carl wasn't happy with me gone. Mom feeds him and talks to him but apparently he didn't approve. And now for my favorite...

Just got a playpen for Carl today and set it up. First time putting him in and he seems fine. Running around and then he starts jumping out at me determined to get out. So I just keep putting him back in. Finally I put him back into his cage and he's fine. My mom told me to just put him in each...

Carl licks my face sometimes does anybody's chinchilla do this and do you no why?

Hi everybody, Just a quick question, Is it normal for chinchillas to sneeze when given their dust baths? Ive had carl for about 3 years now and it seems like as of late hes sneezing when bathing so i dont know if im giving him too much dust or maybe hes always done it and i've just noticed it...

I just got done moving my chinchilla into a new cage. He took to it well although he was nibbling on the plastic. I was sitting there watching him when all of a sudden he came out of one of the tunnels and fell to his left side. I thought he was laying down but he kept kicking his right leg up...

I haven't posted in awhile, mainly because everything has been really good with me and Carl. However, I go away for about the whole weekend. Friday i leave, Sunday i come back. He's usually out every other day through the week. I've noticed when i come home hes really happy but whenever i spend...

Carl my chin was standing on my leg. And he was standing straight up. I was petting his right side near his back and all of a sudden he started shaking. Not alot but like little tremors. Then it stopped. I figured sense he hadnt run away id just keep doing it. So he he started tremoring alittle...

Carl's been acting very distant to me. D: it seems like weve gone back to the first time i ever got him! (Btw i didnt get him as a baby im his second owner!) Im afraid he has a hair ring and is uncomfrotable and i tryed to atleast do it today when i had him out but he squealed and i couldnt get...

Carl's not exactly hyperactive, but when I take him into the bathroom he deffinitley runs and explores. Acouple days ago his personality has done a complete 180. He dosen't want to come out of his cage, he fights with me. I was away last night, fed him early so that nobody else had to. Same...

For the past two days Carl has not been wanting to get out of his cage. Ive had him sense this September and hes six yrs old. I use to coax him into the Travle case and then I was sucessfully picking him up out of his cage. However about two days ago he just started biting me when I started...

I just put carl back into his cage sense hes been out for about forty minutes. I Vaccumed alittle bit which hes use to sense ive been doing it and he never freaks out. After i have Vaccumed i put my fan on (even though its winter) to make the room alittle bit cooler. I dont want him freezing. I...

Carl's ears have been cracked looking, rough to the touch, and dry sense i had gotten him about 2-3 months ago. Hes six, and the former owner said hes never had a problem with him. However because hes more adjusted to being in my house and having me there with him i wanted to see what it was. I...

I got my chin sometime in september from a former owner. My room was really warm this morning i noticed that my chin had his hands tucked into himself and he was hunched over alittle. And he was just sitting there. I turned on a fan by the window (not open) to hopefully clear out the air. After...
