I would love to hear what your chin enjoys most. Please be specific so we can try it out too. For example, if it's wood, what type of wood? If its a flower, what type of flower. I personally keep a huge assortment of organic dried flowers, berries etc. but the hit at my house right now is...

I've been going through a horrific experience with a buyer and thought that maybe it would be good for us to air our bad buyer experiences... Anyone else have a crappy time with someone? What happened?

I can't seem to identify what the color of this boy is. In the picture, he is on bottom and next to a pink white. He looks much much lighter than my homo beige but more beige and creamier than the pink white. I wanted to take a picture of him next to the homo beige, but he was not happy about...

All my chinnies know that when it's feeding time, it's also daily treat time. So most of them, when I come in to feed, excitedly watch and stick their noses out or stand on their back legs and perch against the side of the cage to try to make it known that they want their special treats. Except...

I posted an ad for a chinnie, but I think I asked for the wrong thing. So I'm looking for help to find the write color name. What I would like to find is a female chinchilla who has a white tail and white body with dark ears and dark eyes. I thought that this was considered a wilson white, but...

Most of us know that the most-often recommended brands of food are Oxbow, Tradition and Mazuri... but which one do you think is best and why? If you have a worst, that would be interesting too...

What do you use to clean your cage and why? I personally use vinegar because it seems to clean well and is safe for the animals.

First of all, my chinchilla is going to the vet this morning. So I am by no means posting here in place of the vet. I noticed he was sneezing last night, so I immediately separated him to a different part of the house with his own enclosure. My concern is: how contagious is this for my...

Seriously, some days I come home and I literally have to guilt myself into feeding everyone because I am so tired from work (because how could I ever let them go hungry due to my lack of sleep or laziness!), but then I go in there and see all their little faces and it is the best thing ever...

So, being that I spend a lot of time perusing the fantastic forum, I have noticed that there are quite a few of you who frequent other forums as well. I, being the fruit cake that I am about my animals, would love to read up on other forums as well. So I was hoping you could share with me...

Just curious, has anyone else had bars broken from their super pet cage??? I have the one pictured at the bottom of this post (minus all the plastic junk, plus lots of chintastic goodies!!). About 2 nights ago, I hear this sound while sleeping... and all I could think of was a wheel falling...

Obviously there are MANY chinchilla mutations, so I will list some of the most common IMO and then an other option where you can fill in your fave if I didn't list it. Thanks! :)

What is a claims show? What do I have to do to go to a show? Do I just show up? Do I register?? I'm clueless... haha. I would like to go to a show before October... but the NY show is too far away for me. Anyway.. any help with entering the show world and not being an idiot while doing so...

I'm curious to know what the age range is for chins-n-hedgies members and also how old the majority of the chin owners here are. Happy voting!! :)

What is your chin(s) favorite type of wood? (I'm looking to try some new wood from PPBN and am looking for what others have success with) I've used Apple, Willow and Mulberry :)

So, I have been thinking strongly about showing my chinnies or at the very least attending shows. I lean towards attending shows because I have some concerns about my chins and about myself during the process of showing. Looking for opinions and tips on these issues. 1. I am really concerned...

So, this afternoon I heard some noise coming from the animal room and went in observing the babies. First thing I notice is a bit of blood on momma and a bit of blood on her kit's foot. I think maybe somehow I have overlooked sparring of somesort. Then I pick her up to observe her and there...

I was toying around with the chin-cross calculator and I tried a dark ebony girl with a pink white hetero boy. One of the results were a "dark tan white" kit. I've never seen a picture or information on this combination. Does anyone have a picture of a dark tan white?? (or medium tan white)...

I would love to find an article, book or something which starts with Chapman and continues through time and the occurence of color mutations. I want to know who "discovered" each of the mutations and a little about the breeders. Other genetic changes through time would be fine as well. If...

Okay, so I was thinking about the vast amounts of time we spend making sure to care for our chinchillas and other pets in the healthiest way. I buy tons of veggies for my bunnies and GP's, healthy treats specifically for my chinnies, the best pellets and hay available for all my animals and...
