    Are either of these treats ok?

    I don't usually look for treats in a pet store and stick with the shredded wheat, but today I was at a locally owned pet store and noticed Oxbox Simple Rewards Timothy Treats and Oxbow Barley Biscuits, was wondering if either of these are ok?

    A few q's regarding temp

    This was the first summer I had to be Tigger in the basement because I was working full time, usually he was in constant AC upstairs because I was always home, so I have been nervous all summer even though he's been in the basement. I got a dehumidifier and it works well, but it seems to make...

    Bumble foot

    When I took Tigger to the vet, she mentioned he may have a slight case of bumble foot, but wasn't serious where he was given anything.......not sure why as all his surfaces are flat, but I'm going to clean them tomorrow. What can I do for his feet? Is bumble foot just when their feet get dry or...

    RIP my sweet Eeyore

    You were a fighter today and gave it all you got. I take comfort knowing you passed away peacefully in my arms. I hope you look over Tigger and I, specifically Tigger who I know will miss you. You are now able to roam freely without having to deal with any teeth issues. Until I see you again, I...

    Possible drool after teeth filing....?

    Eeyore just got his teeth filed yesterday morning, this is about the third time he's got it done and has done very well each time. He's taking his critical care really well today, as he did yesterday too. Is it a bad sign if he is drooling a little, or can that just be because he's a little sore...

    Any Chin vets in Wilmington, NC?

    I found a great one in Raleigh which is a bit of a hike from Wilmington....anyone live in the area and can recommend a vet and also an after hours emergency vet? When I move to the area I will need one since one of my chins has to get his teeth filed down about twice a year. If not, I guess...

    Advice on warmer state

    It won't be for a couple years, but i'm going to be moving to North Carolina from New York. I'm just worried as it's warmer year round in NC as NY get pretty darn cold during the winter and during that time I obviously don't need to worry about it being too warm, but when summer comes I always...

    Is this a chinchilla?...roaming Universal theme park

    As I was on a Disney board, I was reading some completed trip reports when I came across one that had this picture. He said it was right in the open on a pathway, he moved it to the side afraid someone would step on him, also didn't know what kind of animal it was. If it is a Chin, I can't...

    Is it normal to not care for a treat after awhile?

    Eeyore doesn't seem to care about shredded wheat anymore, that and occasionally cheerios are the treats I would give them. He does like a cheerio if I break it. But it seems so weird he doesn't care for shredded wheat anymore. He just came from a vet visit to check out his teeth from previous...

    Any other ideas to get chin to chew?

    So after a long ordeal with his teeth, he had them filled successfully and is now eating his normal dry pellets, and is excited to take his treat, before he didn't care as much and has gained his weight back, no drooling and is acting like his old self which is great. But, I still don't see him...

    Any tricks to encourage Chin to Chew?

    So eeyore seems to not really care for chews, I didn't realize how long he didn't care for them, but obviously for awhile. I don't want him to have to go through another teeth filing, and hope he starts to chew so he can hopefully avoid it. But is there anything you can do to encourage them to...

    If chin doesn't eat on his own, how much CC should he get?

If I don't see him eat on his own, how much Critical Care should I give him? before when he wasn't eating as much, I was giving him 9cc's three times a day. But after reading other posts on...

    Where to buy toy parts/pumice?

    Are there any stores you can you buy pumice stones/wood chew pieces/toy pieces? I'm assuming to hang them you can find hardware at any hardware store or possibly Wal-Mart/target. But where do some of you get the toy parts etc.....to make your own? Thanks.

    What to do when chins don't care for hay?

    Neither of my boys have cared for hay lately. Tigger occasionally nibbles on the hay cubes. But neither has really touched the loose hay in awhile. Should I just switch brands a couple times and see if they like a different one? Maybe put it in both levels too. Is it essential they eat hay...

    Occasional Drool

    So Eeyore had to be put on CC in November I believe, he was dehydrated. One of his front teeth ended up falling out and we went again, It didn't seemed to come out all the way, the other tooth was filled a bit and I continued with the CC for awhile. He's now been eating his pellets, only they...

When I first started, I would just have them out in there playpen, which was just a small animal gate, but gave them a nice amount of room to roam, which just a couple chew sticks.....I've just ordered a mini maze for...

    Should you have a light on at night?

    I've been wondering if the chins needs a light at night since that is when they are mostly up and about, and sleep during the day. My room isn't pitch black as my ihome has a glow that I can control how bright it is, I recently put an actual night light in the room but it was too bright for me...
