I just dropped my chinchilla, Shadow, off at the vet for an x-ray and blood work. He has lost a lot of weight recently (he's 14 years old). There have been no changes to his diet/environment and he's been eating and drinking normal. During the examination, they said they heard a heart murmur and...

My girl chinchilla has been grabbing my comforter through her cage (the cage is at the foot of my bed) and snuggling with my bedding. I want to get her something she can cuddle with all the time. Either a bed or pillow would be great. Anyone make anything that will work? Thank you! (Luckily...

I found these at a local HFS and was wondering if they are safe to give to my chinchillas. Thanks.

I've been feeding my chinchillas Mazuri for years. A few years back, I started buying the bigger bags and keeping them in an airtight container. I was at a pet store yesterday and noticed they carried Oxbow Chinchilla. Does anyone have experience with both or know how to compare the two...

I'm out of rosehips and the store I used to buy them from stopped selling them (back when I was in California, I was going to stock up during Christmas, but they were out). I'm now in Florida and have no idea where to check. I will end up buying them online if I can't find a place nearby. What...

My girl Twilight has recently been chewing up a storm. She turns her chew sticks into saw dust and has recently started chewing on her Chin Spin. She was never much of a chewer, my boys were worse, but she is suddenly destroying things. She has chew toys hanging in her cage and I give her lots...

I recently moved to Texas and for Christmas next week, we're going to drive home. I have a Jetta and here's who I'm trying to get in the car: My boyfriend, myself, my 3 chinchillas (1 F, 2 M), a 45 pound dog, and a 5 pound rabbit. The cages I have don't work unless I put my girl chinchilla on my...

I have a FN 142 and I'm having issues with the fleece in my girls cage. The liners I made don't fit very well, so I use 1 liner plus I wrap the plastic tray with a yard of fleece. Even when I do my best to prevent her from moving it, she always pulls the liner up and gets on the yard of fleece...

I've had my bunny for about 6 years now, my sister in law found him in her yard one day. On Thanksgiving day, I noticed he wasn't eating. After a long week of waiting for him to poop, $560 in vet bills, and a 5 days stay at the vet, he's now home and very healthy :D He beat the odds, it's hard...

I was just curious how long it took some of your chins to learn how to use the Chin Spin. My girl Twilight picked it up immediately, she runs on it daily. My boys have had it in their cage for 3 months and it wasn't until 2 nights ago when one of them, Midnight, learned how to use it. The boys...

I'm in a situation right now where I don't know if I should try to rehome my 3 chinchillas and sell my brand new cage (they haven't even moved in yet) or try and move my chinchillas halfway across the country. I am moving with my boyfriend, who is in the military, to Corpus Christi Texas from...

I recently ordered some things for my chinchillas, chew toys, and they smell very strongly of cigarette smoke. I opened the package and gagged, it was so strong. I'm letting the things air out, would these be safe to give to my chins? I'm thinking about tossing everything and just counting it as...

I'm almost done with my Ferret Nation cage and once I move my chins over, I'll be selling my old cage. This cage was made by my Grandpa, took weeks to complete. Here's what it looked like before chins: It has wear on tear on the pull out trays. They're basically falling apart and it occured...

I've had Shadow and Midnight since 2001, they've lived together since 2002. All of a sudden, they are NOT getting along. Fur keeps flying, Shadow keeps chasing Midnight around the cage, and poor Midnight won't stop shaking. What do I do? What could be causing this?

I'm almost done with my cage, I put the project on hold for 2 months for a mix of financial issues and a family member's illness. I'm back and ready to finish this! All I have left to buy are 2 wheels/saucers, hay holders, and PVC Pipes. Now in regards to the wheels, my boyfriend agreed to buy...

I thought I had made a post in this section already, but I believe it was in the CnQ forum. I've been posting around the last few days, so I thought I'd give a formal hello :) My name is Heather, I'm 23, and am currently living in Southern California. I have 3 chinchillas: Shadow(M)...
