So I recently moved into a much larger apartment, with one simple sacrifice. I don't have a washer or dryer in unit. I have an on site, but it is inconvenient and I can't just leave the clothes in the washer or dryer. This has started to complicate washing my fleece liners I have in my FN cage...

Is there any good medical/history/care book about chinchillas? I can't seem to find any good ones that are longer than 20 pages, lol :) Thanks!

No, I am not kidding. Backstory: I been rehabiliating reptiles and rabbits mostly, but got a female Standard female about three weeks ago. She is in good shape, the owners just could no longer care for her. They have had her for 2 years. She was eating junk food (Dried veggies and fruit, along...

So my local mom and pop place got a beautiful chinchilla as a customer drop off. He is like a beige mosaic..white with brown coloring, freckled ears, and a brown tail. The problem is, he is skinny and his fur is chewed..just from the neck down. They are selling him, which I find sad, but...

I was using X-pens with a sheet over them, but my mother (Who I took them from) needs them back for her new dog. *sigh* So now I need to purchase 2 new playpens on a limited budget. I let my chins out for about 2 hours a day with toys and a cardboard maze. I searched of ferret.com, but I am...

I have never shipped a live mammal before, but I will be recieving two females that will be flown in on Wendsday. I already have thier FN set up, bunch of ledges, toys, ect, ect but is there anything else I can do to make sure they are calm? Is there any warning signs I should also look out...

http://www.snorgtees.com/chinchillin-p-824.html And I also bought a shirt at Anchor Blue that has a evil looking mosaic (Looks EXACTLY like my valentine) that says "Chinchilln like a Villian" and it was only about $12! Just thought I would share!

So I am not too happy.. I have my chinchillas (Current number 5..looking for 2 more) and 2 rabbits. I have had my chinchillas for a long time, long before I had my rabbits, but my rabbits have taken over my life, I now show my rabbit in national shows, work with a rabbit rescue, ect. When I...

I didn't know where to post this, but I figured breeding would be the best place. I really want a tan, as pet-only. But the tans I have seen doing googling and such they are like a choclate color, which is why I want one. I finally found a tan, but he is almost like a wierd grey muddly color...

I think this would be a great idea. It is on my rabbit site and it is very popular. Its just a section of "Chinchilla blogs" where users can write about thier daily chin activities, post photos, talk about thier life, ect and we all can comment and watch progress of chinchillas and what not more...

I felt bad for posting my rabbits in my chin thread..so here is my animals! I will be working all March for "Easter and Rabbits don't mix" sending out pamplets and trying to create awarness for rabbit breeding and care. Rabbits are serious animals and I hope I can book a lecture at my...

Just some snap shots, right before I re-did the cage. Yess? Valentine Butt

I had 2 males living together happily for a year. Valentine (White mosaic) was the dominant chin to Casanova (black velvet) who is very relaxed, shy (He even likes to be held) I got a male beige Romeo, and after intros they were all living happily in a FN 142 for the past weeks (like 4 weeks)...

My larger black velvet who has a very thick and dense coat seems to be slipping small chunks of fur, as I find it when I clean the cage. It was yesterday and today, just small chunks. When I take him out, there are no bald spots or even thin spots. He gets a dust bath every 3 days usually. Over...

After a long time of searching, I found my beige male. I did quarantine, and now have started the bonding process. So far so well. Casanova (Black velvet) ignores Romeo (The new beige) and its Valentine (White mosaic) who is trying to be dominant. During outside playtime they get a long great...

I know usually can only be tested through breeding, but I was told my beige was homo..which looks to be true but he has a couple (Literally like 4) ear freckles and was told by somone else that means he is hetero. Does anyone know? here is a photo of him:

I am pretty bad at staying regular, but I wanted to say hello again! We (And the rest of the farm) just moved and the Chins are settling well. They were in a Super Pet cage, but have literally demolished it. I am now in the process of saving for a Ferret Nation..something they CAN'T chew through...

So, after building a cage for my rabbits who then escaped through jumping up and sliding through the holes on top of the cage, I was convinced I had crafty bunnies. Now, today I am convinced I have the most crafty chinchilla ever. I am online, and I look up and here is Valentine my white...

Casanova will randomly bark, and it sounds like the "Back off" noise. But usually Valentine is no where near him in the cage most of the time, and if he is I can't see why on earth Casanova is upset. They both get along great, I can say that Valentine is more aggressive (Will take a a new toy...

For some reason I can't use the search and I went back quite a few pages, but excuse me if this question has been asked, But is supplementing (Of course not replacing daily timothy hay) orchard grass, botanical hay, bermuda grass, or brome grass okay? I hadn't thought about it when I gave them...
