Hi there My chinchilla, Chester, has has dried but wet-looking yellow fur under his mouth and above his belly. He's had this for about 3-4 days. I had him on medications recently from the vet for his bottom teeth growing in a little fast. He's never had any issues like this in the four years...

Thank you for your replies, everyone! It seems as though Lynn might have been correct. He is a crazy little guy and I noticed he excessively groomed his face and pulled down his whiskers and I think he might have been doing it himself.. and rubbing up against his cage. I was so scared it was...

Over the past week, I've noticed that Chester's whiskers have been splitting and breaking.. I'm finding them on the floor, and broken off on his face... has this happened to anyone else? I'm so scared... he's acting perfectly fine, just like himself.. but I'm not sure why this is happening...

Haha! That's exactly what I feel like saying to people! I'm sick of the looks and remarks of ignorance.. Whenever people want me to go back to NY to visit them, I try to explain that I can't leave Chester alone for that long..even one day makes me feel uneasy. And they're like, "Oh, please...

He is pooping normally and eating, which in turns lead to him having to be drinking, right? /: So what I did was I tried getting him to drink out of his old bottle.. didn't take it.. so I sat next to the cage and tapped on his bottle telling him to come over and I actually got him to take a few...

Hi, welcome! I'm fairly new here myself and have a chinchilla of my own. Good luck in deciding on a new little critter! :D

AHAHAHA! I'm glad someone else goes through this mischief. It's way too funny and cute for just me to experience. He always knows when he's taking something he's not supposed to have. :D Haha. Thank you raisinggrace! Glad you like his antics. Heehee..

Hahahaa. I know!! He's so awesome. And so strange and crazy. <3 I love himmm! He just always needs to be playing in whatever area of the room I'm in, making sure that my stuff is his stuff. Ahaha. :3

So I'm sitting on my floor downstairs, writing letters to people back home.. have everything sprawled out on the floor: colored pencils, paper, envelopes, etc. All of a sudden, Chester decides to be funny and sprint up to me, do little jumps off of me to distract me from his master plan...

He's sooo little and soo cute! Welcome to you both! ^__^

I've had experience with her before and she is absolutely wonderful and I definitely recommend her.

Hmm.. I've lived all over New York and my most recent residence was in the Huntington area.. which is northern.. but depending on which part of NY, might not be too, too far.. a great exotic veterinarian I've found was at Island Exotic on Jericho Turnpike/25.

I called the first day I was here just to secure that someone was knowledgable on chins.. I was going to make an appointment for tonight or tomorrow just as a little check-up.. and nah.. I checked to make sure they were still in working order.. I just hope nothing's wrong. ): I'm going to call...

The Saturday that just passed, I've had to move from NY to MA.. he was okay on the drive over, (total of a little under 4 hours of driving.) When I set up his cage in my new apartment, he adapted to the environment rather nicely, bouncing off walls, exploring and whatnot.. but something I have...

Aww! He's absolutely beautiful! What great shots! I wanna snuggle himm so badly!

I'm seriously repulsed by this.. and I agree with beemarie, I could totally see them renting out their kids.. "Want kids but don't want the responsibility of actually parenting them? We love our kids, too! So pay us a nominal fee and you can rent them out for a month or two." -__-; Sigh...

I second that! He's a cutie and I'm looking forward to updates on him!

Aaahhh!! The mansion looks like soo much fun! I'd love something like that for my little guy. :3

Is there a certain age your chin should be before introducing them to pumice or lava bites?

Hmm... I don't know how safe I feel with that. Theoretically it's a good idea..as is food coloring and whatnot.. but I don't think I'm comfortable with staining him.
