My chin ran out of my room under my feet, as I went to catch her she shot down the stairs (obviously going way to fast) she started rolling and tumbling down the stairs the second tumble I think she squealed a little. When she finally landed at the bottom of the stairs she sat and waited for me...

My chinchilla go very frustrated after I gave her her new Oxbow Alfalfa Hay... She started nibbling at it and I don't think she could actually eat it and then she started chucking it away from her and then got out of her bed and started chucking everything around her cage....? Is this pure...

How long does a chin usually take to get over the effects of anesthetic? How long does it take for them to wake up properly? Because my girl came home at half 5 this evening and still now, 10:25 at night she's still sleeping and lethargic. She's had dental surgery, so she wakes up to get some...

Hi, my chinchilla has been dribbling for around 3 to 4 days now. I've rang the vet and they said to make her as comfortable as possible. Since yesterday she stopped eating, unless it was soft things. She is still drinking. So I have crunched down her pellets and made it into a mixture kind of...

I dno if this is an emergancy or not. You can move it if you seem fit too. My chinchilla literallt just ate a little acrylic paint, A mouthful atleast? I usually don't leave it down, but I completely forgot about it when I let her out. She doesn't drink out of her water bottle unless she's...

Some of you may have read previous threads regarding my chins health issues. Fortunetly, she is eating pellets and I'm finally having to go to the pet store to buy food! She is obviously eating them and swallowing as she still poos. However unfortunately she still counts on her syringe food...

My chins hasn't been eating her pellets for months now, and she stopped getting excited about hearing her food tin being opened. Today, for the first time ever she heard her food tin being opened and she went crazy in her cage! She hasn't done this in almost 6 months! Anyone else's chin get...

Bubbles now eats her pellets without leaving crumbs! YAY! She only really eats them properly if I give them to her by hand haha But even then, her poos are tiny. If she is given syringe food, her poos are big and healthy. What does this mean?

Bubbles is off her meds, there's no more bloat, but still crumbs when she eats, she still relies on her syringe food. She still chews, she even drinks from her water bottle some times. Could it be a urine infection? or an infection of the bladder or something? A uri? I'm baffled, and so is the...

She's still not drinking! Still not eating proper pellets. And wghen she does she's still leaving crumbs! She chews on sticks, wood, cardboard. Still having syringe food. Still on the gut mobility and pro-biotics. Has been since thursday. Now what? She seems to know how to chew, she's just not...

My chin is back on a gut mobility drug, and probiotics because she has a tiny bit of bloat- not too serious though as she's still taking her syringe food and pooing and chewing things. Anyway, point of the thread: She's more than willing to take her meds. They're oraly given to her. Last time...

Some chinchilla's are good, some listen some know what is good and bad. But, mine? She knows what's bad but does it anyway! Gets angry whenever I stop her. Popcorns away and runs back and does it again. It's like an on going cycle! Spoilt little chinchilla or just knows how to get her own way?

Best water for your chin?

I was just syringe feeding my chin, and she had one eye half open, the other one was wide open. Doesn't really seem to be bothering her. Just a bit confused as to why she's doing it? The only thing I can think of is her dust? Probably isn't though as she's had the same dusting powder since I...

How long is it usually until a chinchilla starts to eat? My chinchilla still pulls the coat with her teeth that blocks her from going under my cuboard. So if it's too painful for her to eat her own food, surely it's too painful to be pulling with her teeth on a coat that isn't going to be moved...

For those of you who would like to know how Bubbles got on at the vets yesterday: She had her xray and it turned out that the first vet that first did dental care to her did it completely wrong. She had spurs, and her bottom teeth were too long. It also looked as if she had been biting her...

Some of you may remember the story of my chinchilla, Bubbles. She was ill recently and under went surgery to bure her teeth down, it turned out to be bloat and bad bacteria in her gut. With that being said, she's now pooping fine, and no more bloat! She seems to have recovered from it. However...

I just took my chinchilla off a box that she's not allowed to get onto. This is the third time that I've removed her from it. She started crying and wagging her tail. I thought only males wagged their tails?

My chinchilla has suddenly started biting me! She's been through a lot the past month- vets and back constantly. But since she's getting better she's took up the habbit of biting me whenever she doesn't get her own way. When she was ill she got everything she wanted. If she wanted to lay on me...
