Ok I adopted a new chin (Harry) at 9 months. It's been just a little over a year. . . So I got Harry a flying saucer wheel. He loves it and runs constantly, but at night he literally pounces on it to start running and then he screams out 3 or 4 times. He never stops running while making the god...

I don't know if anyone has dealt with this, but if you have I need your help. I've just moved into a new apartment and I think it has bedbugs. Now using my common sense I believe I would have to board Chinny while the apt is being treated. So how long would I have to board him? What if anything...

About a year ago I bought chinny a wheel off eBay. It's been fine, but really loud. It wasn't much of a problem because lived in the middle nowhere. Having recently moved to an apartment I didn't want to drive my neighbors crazy so I decided to get chinny a flying saucer. His previous owner had...

I had a revelation about my chinchilla the other day. He hates Sarah Jessica Parker. I was watching SATC ( like a marathon). Everytime the musci plays and she talks he squaks. I thought something was wrong with him at first. There was no loud noise to upset him. He wasn't sleeping, so it wasn't...

So I guess this is a vent, sort of. When I got Chinny he came with two 90oz bags of kaytee Timothy hay. He wasn't really eating any of it. Through this place I learned oxbow was a good hay, so that's what I bought. He ate it until he just out of nowhere stopped. So I got American pet diner and...

I'm just so excited I had to share with everyone. After being away from Chinny for 5 months I just got him back. It was so terrible being separated for so long. I will never leave him for that long again. But he is in good health and still the happiest chinchilla. I can't wait to get him moved...

Is ok to put a chinchilla in the same room with a ferret? I just want make sure there's no weird illnesses that can passed between them. Or stress my chin out. I've tried looking online and couldn't really find anything so thought I'd ask on here.

I feel terrible that I have to do this, but I have to take a seasonal job in Alaska. Which I love, but I can't take Chinny with me, which I hate. I was thinking of leaving him With my cousin who has never had a chinchilla. I trust him though. I mean before Chinny I'd never had one either ya...

I just want to start by saying I've made an appointment for the vet already. I noticed a tiny bit of mucas on one of my Chinny's poops and a hard bubbles in another poop. So from reading on here I'm assuming this is giardia. He is perfectly fine in every other aspect. So I'm just curious if...

so I've had my chin for about 4 months now. He's a very happy and spoiled 6 yr old male. Last night out of nowhere he made the most terrifying sound. I thought he had fallen or crushed himself or I don't know what. I flew outta bed to his cage and he ran from the bottom level by his wheel to the...

The previous owner of my chinchilla gave me all of his supplies. In that was sun seed vitamins. I was just wondering if anyone had used this before and if they are safe to use.

My Chinny found a Qtip with vitamin e oil on it and he ate it. Will this hurt him? Should intake him to the vet? It happened last night and found him with it . So he only ate the cotton before I got it back. When I checked on him today it looked like he'd eaten his hay and pellets . Still he...

I have a chin with dry feet . I've been trying to put vitamin E oil on them , but he won't let me hold him to do so. Any tricks of the trade ? I also cut his baths back to twice a week and put fleece liners in . I'm a new owner so any help would be greatly appreciated. I did watch the blanket...

I am a proud new owner of a 6 year chin named Chinny. A family member could no longer afford him. He is wonderful . I love to spoil him with new toys . I've done quite a bit of research for everything I've given to him. I'd like to try these flavored loofahs, but I can't seem to find anything...
