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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!

We got my first chin when she was full grown, so it was never really an issue. I know young chins can squeeze through bar spacing if it is too large. Just wondering at what point 1 inch spacing is acceptable instead of 1/2 inch? I know I can get mesh to cover the bars, but would like to know if...

I am looking to get a cage for our new chinchilla come next month. I was wondering if anyone has any input on the fiesty ferret cage http://www.amazon.com/Prevue-Hendryx-485-Products-Hammertone/dp/B000QFMYWQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. Looks similar to the FN cage (which we have one of at my...

So the first picture of this baby I saw, she was quite a bit darker than in the photo seen here, pretty much looked black. She is just under 2 weeks old now and this is her color. Just wondering if anyone has any insight, thanks!

So my hedgehog Shadow had a long night of running in his wheel, and has pooped himself out finally! He even fell asleep in his wheel rather than his snuggle bag! Lol. He has been making noises in his sleep (the ones he usually makes when exploring) randomly over the past hour or so. Seems my...

So after following many threads over time, I find that I now face a situation in which I need advice from follow chin owners. I hope someone can help! I have had my little girl for about 5 years now, and got married six months ago. My husband happens to be in the Army, and has already moved to...
