With any new animal it is recommended that you give them at least a week with no handling in order for your new friend to become comfortable in his/her surroundings. So, it is perfectly normal for your chinnie to be a bit timid in the beginning. =) However, from your latest post it sounds like...

Oh, I am terribly sorry for your loss. :( You are an excellent chin-mom as you did everything within your capabilities. Rest in Peace Kahootz.

Wow, only two hours away from me! I don't think there has ever been a closer show. Wish I could attend but my car will probably be in the shop during those days. Darn thing had to have all these problems arise.

Awh, wonder what your little guy was dreaming about. =) I've heard my chinnies make the occasional bark or squeak when they are in a deep sleep. It's nothing to be worried about.

As others already have mentioned. My chinnies eat of the bark first and then leave the rest of the stick. I remove them for about a week and then place them back in their cages. They think it's a brand new treat and will chew it to pieces!

Looks like pee to me as well. No worries, rather be safe than sorry!

Aww, what a cutie! Such a sweet expression.

Unlike dogs or cats, I don't believe chinchillas have an average age when they're considered senior. I think it honestly depends on the chin as each are different and what their previous health record was/is like.

What a sweetie pie! Love the last photo, absolutely precious. Happy Almost Birthday Boromir!

Absolutely adorable chinnies you have! They both have such innocent faces.

Wow, I'm jelly of your nails and your adorable chinnies!

:rofl: That is too funny! Thanks for sharing that.

I've always used the good ol' soap and water. However, I recently got job at a pet store and we are suppose to use Buckeye Watchdog. It is really a great disinfectant, been told it is used primarily in the animal industry so I can only assume it's pet safe. But someone please correct me if I am...

What sleepy sweeties! Love your cages and the set-ups. I'm still working on my cages but hopefully they will look as good as yours at some point!

My house usually stays at a constant 68°. Occasionally, my area will get a rare heat wave but even then the chin room doesn't go over 75°.

Congratulations on the new addition! She is absolutely adorable.

Aww, he's adorable! Looks like he's in a really deep sleep.

Aww, what adorable chinnies! The cage looks great, I'm sure they are loving it.

Beautiful work! Would definitely be interested if you start selling them.

I purchased all four of my FN's off Ferret.com and each one came in it's original box and in perfect condition. When the boxes arrived on my porch they were a bit beat up but the cages weren't damaged at all. If I remember correctly shipping was pretty fast. If you do have a problem with your...
