    The name game..what in your chins name?

    Chins and respiratory/sinuse problems in people

    I'm allergic to hay and the dust. I just keep the place super clean, and really keep meaning to buy a dust mask. The way I see it is poor air quality from hay and dust, the chins just happen to be these cute things that need that stuff. xD

    I need pictures

    I only have pictures of mild fur slip, sorry. But if you need it, I've got a pretty good one.

    Colorado Springs, Co

    Not urgent, just realized I don't have an exotics vet. Any in Colorado Springs (or surrounding areas)? Denver and Pueblo would be acceptable options too, but too far in an emergency...so Colorado Springs would be preferred.

    Lonely chinchilla ?

    I second this, I am now looking to re-home a chin for this very reason. I thought my chin was lonely because his partner died. Well, the chin I adopted and him do not get along.

    chinchilla laying on her side

    I would go with what your vet says TBH. I live in Colorado, and with relative humidity so low here, vets here say 75-78. Humidity makes a HUGE difference, more than many would think. I'm not saying the things other are saying aren't true, just that it really can vary from region to region... and...

    Air conditioner recommendations?

    I also live in Colorado, and it evaporative coolers work great here and don't raise the humidity too much just because it is so dry. I had to move my babies down to the basement (bedrooms are down there and its quieter place anyways). Because it is SO darn hot so far this year. And in typical...

    Hi!

    Hey, I'm new here. I've stumbled on the forum a few times searching for chin advice...decided it's time I join. I have two boy chins, both rescues, and both roughly 5 years old. I've had Rex since October, and Chimmy has only been here a couple of weeks. No matter how much I feel like I know...
