Kishi has developed a new habit, whenever i clean her ledges and put them back in, they are often very slightly damp,not wet exactly but just very slightly damp. Kishi used to ignore it and go back to sleepafter i replaced them, now she immediately wakes up and starts to roll her face and head...

so i mentioned awhile ago that kishi hurt her foot, it healed up and looked fine, but now the exact same spot is starting to look red and irritated, the wound was completely closed, but the area is reddened she's walking fine and even still pings off the walls of her cage, and she was climbing...

so kishi managed to scrape her leg on her little sleep hut, i removed it and cleaned up her leg,she 's got a scrape about an inch long on her leg, it bled pretty good but i got it stopped, it was just scary to wake up and check on her and see blood all over her cage. i think i was more afraid...

i've been going over some sleep hut options for my little buzzsaw,obviously plastic is out of the question, and she quickly goes through wooden boxes, so i had an idea.she has a glazed ceramic food bowl that works out pretty well, i was wondering if i could find a glazed ceramic hut or pot...

lately kishi has been leaving alot of crumbs in her bowl when she eats, is this a sign of a problem, she is acting fine otherwise, no drooling or mouth swiping(except when she dust baths) and still a little chew monster,do i need to get her checked? i ask because her vet is an hour from here and...

I'm looking for a chin safe fleece blanket &bed to get kishi off grated floor of her cage(where she chooses to sleep, even tho she has ledges boxes, and a hut) it should be machine washable and fairly safe if she should choose to chew on the edges(she does this with every new toy), also looking...

does anyone know if LM Animal Farms Vita Vittles chinchilla food is a good food? we moved and the neares pet store is about an hour away,however the local tractor supply company sells this brand of food for chinchillas, they also have the brand in guinea pig food and rabbit food.

i recently switched kishi from mazuri to oxbow ,by necessity more than choice,but she LOVES it, she was never too much of a pellet eater before but now she wolfs them down like they were chinnie candy! it's an amazing change, and she had no issues with squish poos or anything. i am truely and...

I did something stupid,and left the closet door ajar while we were out today and kishi got ahold of a hat that was hanging on the knob and ate a big hole in the top, it looks mostly ripped on the top, and she's eating drinking, playing and pooping fine, will the cloth hurt her at all? there was...

i just had to share this. kishi is so full of energy this morning, she was jumping around her cage, and the way her cage is set up is there are ledges on one side and the other side is where her sleeping box is. well just now she was jumping around her cage and ran up the wall of her cage on...

Kishi seems a bit thin to me, don't get me wrong, she hasn't lost weight that i can tell and she eats plenty and seems to pooping normally(what goes in seems to come out well), but she seems thin for a chin, could it be that she's naturally thin? is there something i can do to fatten her...

i have a question about garlic, is it toxic to chins? i've always assumed it was and kept kishi away from it, but there was some garlic powder spilled around her cage recently, and altho i swept it up, and gave her a dust bath to make sure it was off of her, i wanted to make sure it wouldn't...

so, i'm looking into getting kishi a longer cage, as the cage she's in now has plenty of up room but i feel it's a bit small across, so i'm looking online, mostly at chinworld, and i see they have martins cages and and there are those on the board who use ferret nation cages, and i'm wondering...

I hope people can see these pics of kishi beaner! she is really hard to get a picture of, she is NEVER still during play time, so i got a couple of pics through the cage:P this is before i replaced her shelves, i'll get some new pics this weekend. and of course, i couldn't resist a nose...

i was going to get some fleece and cover kishi's ledges with fleece, since she chews on EVERYTHING she can get her jaws around(including my fingers!) i would like to know exactly what type of fleece and fastenings the people here who make snugglies and hammocks use, i need it to be safe if she...
