I just lost my chin, Stitch. I only had him for 1&1/2 months (he had been left at a petshop when his family of 6 yrs "moved"). I noticed he had trouble eating, was soaking his front. I took him to a vet who did oral surgery on 7/3/12 and he passed on 7/11/12. He just couldn't recover. He...

Which chinchilla pellet food is recommended to feed? Mazuri seems to be the most popular... I can't find it near me, where is the best place to order it (best price)?

Does having more than one chinchilla in a cage affect their "tameness"?

My Stitch knew his name, I think... Or maybe it was my voice. He was so loving and LOVED to snuggle!

I really need to sell my 2 baby Chins and cage/access. Found out my daughter is allergic to the hay. Every time I try to post an ad in the classifieds here it gets removed... What am I doing wrong? Help.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my 6 yr old Chinchilla on July 11th. I'm devastated. I know your pain.

*my 6 yr old chin*

Int 6 yr old chin was doing the same thing... Got extremely thin, drooling and soaked his front. The vet filed two points on the top left molars, and extracted two severely abscessed molars. He had antibiotic for 10 days. He quit eating, nobody near me had critical care. A breeder told me...

My dear Stitch has passed on. I did everything I could for him. I held him, comforted him and prayed for him while he passed. I have decided that the world of chinchillas is just not for me. I am selling me 2 babies w their cage and all supplies. I have them advertised in the classifieds...

I took him to the only exotic vet avail. He said he didn't need to take x-rays as he was able to see the problems during the exam. He sedated him w gas and filed two spots and said they didn't really actually have to extract the two molars as when they touched them w the tool to pull them...

Well he had 2 points growing down off of a top left tooth. Those were filed and he also 2 abscessed left molars that were actually falling out. They were removed. He is still soaking himself by drooling. I hope this will stop as I don't want him getting sick/coat damaged from being wet. I...

My oldest chin that I got from a pet shop after his owners moved seems to be having trouble eating. I have an appt w an exotic vet. He tips his head sideways and bites off the tops off his pellets then drops the rest. He seems to drool as his fur gets wet from his nose/chin spreading out all...

I found out some history on my 6 yr old chinchilla. His previous owner got him as a baby and he was an only chin his whole life. He was well cared for tho. Since he did not respond well to my baby mosaic, I got a baby black velvet (seems ebony too me), and now the two babies are bonded in one...

The pet shop I special ordered thru does not keep chins in the store, but can order. I do not know the name of the breeder. That info was not given. I wasn't given a pedigree either. I know 1/2 of what I paid was probably pet shop mark up. The pet shop is called "Pet Country" and it's in...

Bonding Well, I got a second male, he's 11 wks. Beautiful white violet and super sweet, energetic but sweet! Bonding is NOT going well. My older chin tries to nip the baby when I hold one in ea hand and when baby is in his cage on the floor w the older one on the outside. The older chin...

I don't know anything about his past before I got him June 1. I don't know if he had a buddy or was a breeder or if he has always been solitary. I wish I knew. He is so extremely docile. Actually I am thinking that he is neutered. I can't find any testicles. I was told to feel for them as...

Hi Hello, I am also new here & to chins! I got my first chin on June 1. He is 6 yrs old and I am now searching for a male buddy for him!
