So I just ordered Annabelle a Feisty Ferret cage and I'm really excited! I found one for a good price, and free shipping, and just couldn't pass it up! I can't wait til it gets here! I just don't know how all I'm going to decorate it and get it ready for her. I know I need wood shelves to...

So, I changed Annabelle's cage from bedding to fleece about an hour ago. Since then, she hasn't pooped at all. She's eating and she's running around and basically acting like herself. And I don't think her stomach feels any different than normal, assuming it would be very obvious if I felt and...

If this is posted twice, you can delete this one. My internet went weird when I posted it the first time. So, I'm in the need for dust. At Petsmart I can get 3 pounds of Blue Cloud for $9.99. However, I feel like I could do better. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could get...

So, Annabelle looooves playtime! But for like the first 5-10 minutes, she NEVER poops. Do all chins do this or is it just because she's still getting used to her new home? After a few minutes, there are plenty to make up for it, so I'm not worried. I was just wondering if all chins wait to poop...

I'm just wondering what chin stomachs are supposed to feel like so I can tell if something is ever wrong, like bloat, with Annabelle. I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere, and I'm just curious. Thanks!

So, I gave Annabelle a dust bath Tuesday when she came home, but it was kind of boring. Then I gave her one today, and it was the cutest thing ever! I'd never actually seen a dust bath before, and I enjoyed every second of it! And I could tell she did too! The best part was when she decided she...

So, Annabelle came home with me Tuesday and we've been bonding, so I haven't had the time to post her pictures! So, now I will! Haha. She hasn't completely warmed up to me yet, but I think she's starting to. When she first came home she would lose a lot of fur whenever I got near to her, but she...

Is apple wood safe for chins? They have sticks of it at Petsmart, but I didn't know if it was safe. And it's only until I get to order her some sticks from a vendor. Any opinions?

So my chinchilla is coming home tomorrow and I have like one final question for her to come home to a safe place. She will be living in my room, and that's where I use my body spray, spray gel, and hairspray. Now, these are all like te pump spray and not a continuous spray (so not aerosol). Are...

Two questions: 1. Are metal hay balls okay for chins? 2. Does a chin need a chinchiller in their cage at all times?

What is the best way to weigh a chinchilla? Because I know it's recommended that you do, but I don't really know how.

Are rosehips a safe treat for chins? I know there are mixed opinions about treats and stuff, but most vendors on here sell them and I was wondering if they are safe or not.

I was just searching the internet for chin ads and ran across the perfect chin! She's black, like I wanted, and she'll be 2 in August. She's $80 for her and supplies. I'll go ahead and get her with the supplies, and then get her a better cage ay-sap, since the one she has is plastic on the...

What do you suggest bringing a chinchilla home in. If the lead I have right now works out, I'll be going on a 1.5 hour car ride with a chinchilla, and I want her to be as comfortable as possible. So, what's the best thing to get to bring one home?

How old does a chin need to be before it can use a wheel in its cage? I've seen they aren't good for kits, but at what age can they use one?

So I've been trying to find someone on this forum that will make fleece liners that are made to order, but I can only find people who make them for FNs. I'm not getting an FN but I would still like a fleece liner for my chin's cage. Do you know of anyone who will custom make liners? If so can...

So we booked a vacation (from KY to NC) for next month and I plan to have my chin by then. I have three options and I want to know which is best: 1. Take her with me. 2. Have her live with my boyfriend for a week. 3. Have my grandmother come by and feed her 1-2 times a day and check on her too...

Okay, so I was assuming that chins and cats can live in the sane house because many members here have both. Then I was told that isn't the case. So...what's really the deal? My chin will be in my room and the door will be closed at all times. I will NEVER have a cat in my room at play time. And...

I feel like I just need to say this. I am a very impatient person. Hahaha. I just got a job last Monday and will be starting next Tuesday. I am 17 years old. And when I got the job, my dad told me I was allowed to get a chinchilla as long as I paid for it, since I've been wanting one for a very...

I've tried googling chin breeders, but all I can find are people selling their pets online. I'm looking for a black female kit that I could get in the middle/end of June, in Kentucky or southern Ohio. Any tips on how to find a breeder in my area, or if you are one in this area, can you help me...
