I live on Oahu, it's easy to get pinewood etc, but your best bet is ordering a cage online. It'll run about $200 total if you order via 1800petsupplies. Not bad at all. Things are more expensive of course, but I recommend looking for a feed store. I get my chins food, bedding, and extremely...

Is the chin spin still available? Or the medium flying saucer?

I so miss my little shadow today! I had to give him to my brother when my husband got orders to Hawaii where he is illegal. Because clearly they are going to use their quills as spears and take over the island! At least that's how I prefer to picture it instead of people letting them loose to...

Yeah I thought it is probably just because she is a baby. I know she is not an evil chin, she loves to cuddle. I will just have to make sure he says no BEFORE it is so hard instead of after skin breaks or it just hurts too much. I am hoping she will learn fairly quickly.

So I have had chins in the past, but never babies. I am used to the love nibbles of my older chin, but have noticed with no food smells on peoples hands, my baby will go to bite. I have never personally been bitten really hard, because I move my hand when I start to feel too much pressure. I...

We are having a bit of a problem with ants in our house right now. I am worried they will get into Zoe's cage. I don't know that ants really want chin stuff, but just in case. I have heard cinnamon is something ants avoid. If I put some around her cage, would she be okay? We don't usually have...

We have also found that while Zoe is fine with anyone picking her up, if I'm holding her and my husband goes to grab her from me she will run back down his arm to me. However if I do the same thing to him she just stays with me lol. He gets grumpy about it but then I point out at least he has...

What are the strange things your chinchillas do? I've been watching my new chin Zoe, who has a habit of biting into a pellet and throwing it down. My other chin does this too, but throws it back into her food bowl. But Zoe, no it has to go onto the floor! Lol. She makes a show of it if you...

Oh pics to come! She is a med or light phase ebony

Zoe has come home with us. She is a perfect little bundle! She was handled by the breeder well, and will walk directly into your hands with no prompting. That's a huge change from my other chin (not her fault, her original owners didn't handle her). I had to lay down bedding for her tonight...

I know about wire floors, don't care much for them myself. Just wondering if anyone knew for sure of any decent wire bottom cages. Another chin owner asked me, and I am just biased about them anyways, so can't give her advice.

Think of it this way, he will be recommended as just a pet due to his aggression towards females. He may be aggressive towards males too, which means that he may have to be a single chin. The person who purchases him will need to know this and invest in all necessary supplies if they don't have...

Okay, this is not for me, I prefer the FN cage by far. However, I was speaking to someone who is selling their CN cage (single level) because they want a cage with a wire bottom. I believe it is for cleaning purposes. They don't want a huge cage, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on a...

thanks! That is the word I just could not get to come to mind. Found it and can now order it, thanks again!

I am trying to find the food bowl that attaches to the side of the cage for my chin. Online all that comes up are plastic crocks, and our pet stores do not have any in stock. The one I am thinking of has the black holder, and it is a silver removable bowl. Can anyone think of the name or even...

I had a human fine tooth comb I sometimes use to get a little bit of the fur my chin has pushed off. She actually loved the comb and used it to scratch herself if you didn't move it fast enough! lol. The bristles are not sharp or anything so she wouldn't hurt herself. She would even rub her chin...

I am excited! We have to start getting her cage ready. I am actually glad I have had several weeks for additional research. I have had chins, in fact currently in our family we still have my chin of 6 years. However, we got her when she was full grown, so we didn't have the baby experience. We...

We didn't know about the snack shacks at first, and got our older chin, Cinny, one a long time ago. She loved the roof and ate it within a week or so, took a couple of gnaws on it and decided it's not her preferred chew toy. We still clean it and keep it with her because it is oddly her favorite...

This is Zoe, she was born 4/15/12. She will be coming home to us once she is old enough. We are very excited to be getting her to add her to our family. Just wanted to share our excitement!

yeah, I figured there is no exact science to it, but knowing about what age is best. I am sure we will be fine when we get her, will just watch for any escape antics. I guess I am paranoid from my escape artist hedgie! lol
