    Diagnosed with Malo

    One of my chins was just diagnosed with pretty severe malo last night. In the xray, it is very obvious that the roots are going everywhere. Two of the bottom ones are extremely long that they might be poking out pretty soon. As soon as I saw the xrays, I immediately started crying because I...

    Evaporative Air Cooler?

    I am in search for a portable air conditioner for our new chin room, and came across these evaporative air coolers. Will these work for chins? I would really like something that doesn't involve mounting anything on a window. If you have any suggestions, please share with me. Thanks.

    Still drooling...

    Sorry for posting another thread on my Polly. Her condition is not getting better after several visits to two different vets and teeth filing. The last time she went to Dr. Greek, I asked for another x-ray. Nothing was abnormal, no spurs nor infections. Dr. Greek said that he was puzzled as...

    Excessive drooling

    Is it normal to have excessive drooling after a teeth file? I took my girl in for a filing on Saturday because of some drooling and her not eating. Ever since then, she has been drooling A LOT, a lot more than before. Her whole chin and chest are soaked in saliva. She is on Metacam. I know...

    HELP! Drooling... again

    My mosaic girl, Polly, had her tooth filed last April. Everything has been fine until a month ago. I found her drooling again, on and off. It was not very frequent, only when she got nervous. However, her appetite has gone down significantly. She stopped eating hay, and ate very little...

    Help with commenting on a Craigslist post

    I just saw this post on Craigslist and wanted to write to that person an email telling her that Chinchillas are not to be given as surprise gifts and that they are not low maintenance pets. But my English is just not good enough to explain it clearly and make it sound not rude. Could some of...

    Is Oxbow Bunny Basic/T OK?

    Okay... I am giving up on my picky girl who only eats Alfalfa hay. She is on Mazuri which is also a alfalfa hay-based diet. I was wondering if I can feed her Oxbow Bunny Basic/T which is a timothy hay-based diet for rabbits. I do not know any other good timothy pellets other than Kaytee's...

    How much veggies for guinea pigs?

    I've been wondering how much veggies I can give to my 2 piggies everyday. Now, I am giving them maybe 5-6 lettuce leaves twice a day. Is that enough? They seem to always want more, but I read that they can get diarrhea (sp?) from eating too much veggies because of the water content. Yet...

    How to get chins to eat more hay?

    One of my chins has become less and less interested in hay. I've tried everything, even the Oxbow Botanical Hay which smells so nice. She just doesn't want to eat any. :hair: She is only eating a little bit of alfalfa. I know they don't HAVE TO eat hay because there is hay in the pellets...

    New cage for my 2 girls!

    Hubby and I were going to buy a FN142, but saw this huge bird cage at the local feed store that was 50%. We immediately brought it home. It took us 3 weekends to make everything ready for the girls to move in. They really really love the extra room to jump around! We are so in love with this...

    Have you seen this cage before?

    I am looking into buying a new cage for one of my chins and saw this one from our local bunny rescue group for only $125. Has anyone seen this before? I know FN, CN, and QC are the better brands. This one seems pretty good also. Any thoughts?

    Timothy-based vs alfalfa based pellets

    Recently I have started a local business selling cavy and bunny pellets and have done some research on those as well. Everything I read stated that timothy-hay based pellets are better for adult cavies and bunnies. There are alfalfa-based pellets for young ones and nursing moms. It made me...

    Soft poo questions

She was on Mazuri for the past 4 years with only one mild case of soft poo and recovered from it in a few days. Recently I...

    Dr. Jenkins in San Diego

    My vet just referred me to Dr. Jenkins in San Diego to take a look at Polly (I've posted in another section about Polly's conditions). Has anyone here seen him before? My vet highly recommended him and said that he is only good exotic animal around my area, but he is 1.5 hours away from me and...

    Batril & Metacam

    I had posted a few days ago that my chin received Batril and Metacam for sores in her mouth last Wednesday. I ran out of Metacam today even though it was meant for 10 days. Do I need to ask for more? Batril was precribed for a 30-day treatment, but I really don't want to give her anymore as...

    What kind of hay is this?

    Can someone take a look at this picture and tell me what kind of hay it is on the left? On the right is regular timothy hay. I saw a lot of this strange hay in the bale of timothy I bought recently. Is this just another form of timothy? The stems are very very thin, the seedheads are smaller...
