So I went to my local farm store and I bought a compact barrel of timothy hay. I didn't realize how heavy it was because the man carrying it made it look light I figured it was 10-15 pounds. When I pulled it out of my trunk it was super heavy. I weighed it and it was 54 pounds!! :duh: So what is...

I didn't know which thread to post this in, but I read the Hunger Games series and I'm so excited for the movie to come out in March! Have you guys seen the new trailer for this?! Oh man I can't wait!!

I thought I would just make 1 thread for both my chinchillas instead of doing 2 separate threads. Here are a few recent pictures: Mozart checking out his new fleece from Annieo! Mozart's current sleeping position! :D Charlie sleeping in the cage he came in:

I searched for a thread in chin debate and polls, but I couldn't find anything. I was wondering your stance on quarantining and how long do you do it for? Just curious on everyone's opinions.

I just sent in my final exam for the last class for my degree! It was an online class which is rare and I finished it about 2 weeks early! Oh it feels so wonderful! Time to finish unpacking and cleaning my home because I am having my graduation party next Saturday:dance3:. I am getting my B.S...

I got my chin spin used off CL and after a week of use it started to get really squeaky. I don't have instructions, so I am wondering if I need to replace any parts or do I just lubricate it? If I need to change a part (say a bearing if they have actually have one) could some explain how I'd do...

I finally have some better pictures of Mozart!! :D I can actually feed him hay from my hand :D (why is this photo uploading upside downs!?) I just think he is so darn cute! I can feed him some hay, so progress has been made. :D P.s. Why do my photos look so small?

I got my second chinchilla on Sunday. I named him Mozart. He is almost 3 months old. He has pretty much hid in his hidey box (or on top behind his hammock). I know he leaves it because his bedding has moved... along with his food and hay being all over the place. I've never seen him do it. I've...

I am talking to my ex on the phone. He thinks I should breed chinchillas so I can release them outside. He wants to see a population of chinchillas in the wild like we see rabbits. He thinks that would be cool. :banghead: Oh my gosh, he is annoying me :hair:. I said I would never release my...

I have wanted to buy a good and inexpensive sewing machine for sometime, and now I also want one to make fleece things for my chinchillas. I don't know much about sewing machines, so I thought I'd ask which might be better. On Black Friday at Walmart they are selling the Brother LS2300PRW for...

What kinds of things can I do to chin proof the room they will be in and have play time in? I live in an apartment, so I don't exactly want the walls to have chew marks. I can have holes in the wall, if I need to nail something to the wall. I've thought about lining fiberglass all around the...

I am waiting not so very patiently for my FN 142 to come via UPS right now. I work at 2 and I hope it comes before then or I have to some how get it from the apt office to my upstairs apt :hmm: all 91 pounds... I am sitting at my computer watching out the window haha. How hard is it to put...

So I got hired on Nov 1st. I work as a school bus driver for the school district, and I've been a substitute for the last year. You start as a sub, and when openings open up, you apply and if you are next in line you get "hired!" I was first in line and was able to get a 4 hour/day shift. Some...

I am picking up Charlie my new chinchilla from my sister who no longer wants him. I was waiting for the weekend. I work part time and I am finishing my last class this quarter for my b.s. degree. I have only two exams left (exams are the only things graded), and one is in a week. I was planning...

1.) I know that you can try to potty train chinchillas, and I was wondering what type of "litter" is good to put into the pan? Any suggestions? I am getting my sister's chinchilla because she no longer wants it. I have been buying all the things for when he comes. I want to do fleece lining, but...
