Yes... I thought about them too after I pondered this situation for the entire evening. I don't go to them so sometimes I forget that they have a decent exotic practice.

I decided not to watch these chinchillas. Partially because I have some other things going on in my life but my gut reaction was that it was a bad idea. I think that everyone here confirmed that it wasn't really a good idea. Thanks everyone for you input. I started to feel like I was...

I would consider making her have him neutered but I have a few concerns. #1 Is he too young? (I don't have males, so I don't know). #2 I don't know if there are experienced vets around for a chin neuter. My vet cares for my chins and he's owned chinchillas himself but I don't think he regularly...

My fiancee tried to convince her not to get any more chins after the first one died. So I doubt that she would listen to me. Even as I have been exchanging emails with her she doesn't seem to grasp how serious I think the situation is because I don't think she feels the same way. She just...

Well, I am very torn about this because she had a chinchilla before this who I baby sat for a week or two and that one died because she went on a week vacation and left the chin in her house with no air conditioning and it happened to be a very hot week where it was like upwards of 90-100...

We are in Pennsylvania. She told me that if they did have babies she would just sell them to recoup the costs of the two she bought and then separate them. I personally don't agree with that and clearly she is taking the idea of pregnancy very lightly. Since I have refused to take them at this...

Yes, I found that out in my preliminary research of chinchilla pregnancy which I passed along to her.

I don't think that helps because what if she is pregnant now. I guess assuming that the vet can verify that she is not pregnant but what does she do if she is pregnant? She still needs someone to care for them. BTW I will be keeping the chins from May 21 until the first or second week in August...

I have an acquaintance who asked me to babysit her chinchillas while she was out of state to complete a portion of her college education. I agreed but I just found out tonight that the chinchillas are a male and female living together in the same cage. I then refused because I know nothing about...

Love ordering for CA Bird Nerds been doing so for the last year or 2.

I have only had it for a few days. Our normal vacuum is a Dyson and we have to take it in for maintenance once a year and my fiancee ends up taking it apart and and declogging the hose. So I wouldn't expected anything different from this one, I think I have pretty much excepted that the hose...

I thought I would post this incase anyone is interested but I recently purchased a mini-shop vac just for my chin room. I found it at Wal-Mart for $19. We live on three floors and the chins are on the 3rd floor and I could never justify multiple vacuum cleaners but this is the right price for...

My dog also loves to eat chin poos. I think she sees them as a little snack. She also eats the hay on the floor and will also steal sticks and hay from their cages if they hang out a little bit. There is nothing funnier than seeing my dog with hay hanging from her mouth like Huckleberry Finn...

I would post pictures of mine. Except I am overhauling the cages really soon. I am going to start planning.

That is so funny and cute!

There wasn't a lot of changes to Snow Leopard. You have a new quicktime program, more speed, a few changes to stacks, etc. According to my Mac loving fiancee, the big change is for developers, after Mac brought out the intel processors they had operating systems to support Powerbooks and the new...

It looks like a bite wound to me. Coconut suffered a similar wound when I was trying to introduce her and Babynut.

It definitely is. My mouse just passed away at 5 years old. I have also had a hamster. So I have a tendency to have a variety of pets even though it makes it more difficult because you have different dietary needs, toys, environments, etc. These days I have slowed down a little I have been busy...

The girls are doing well. Since we got our Boston Terrier Vegas it has gotten even more interesting. Babynut was raised with our 17 year old Westie, Katie. Katie always slept by the chin cages and so Babynut was really used to having a dog around. Then Katie died we got Coconut and then they...

Hi Everyone! I have been away from the boards for a really long time because I have been pretty busy but I think it's time to get back into the swing of things and become more active again. So I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am sure there are new members I haven't met yet. I am sure...
