    Moving Soon

    Gonna move across country in March. Two of us are planning on driving 3 chinchillas, two of which refuse to get along, and a cat from New York to Nevada. I was looking into Ryerson's 3 hole chinchilla carrier, but the pictures are so small I can't tell what it looks like. Are the walls between...

    Moving across county

    Moving from New York to Nevada. I'm not sure where to start. I have my 3 girls and a cat. I'm thinking flying somehow would be better because I can't imagine finding hotels that will accept all my animals would be easy.

    Cat Pee

    I just moved back to my parents house, the chinchillas get their own room here, but the door to the room was left open against my knowledge and the cat marked his territory in the room.

    Discolored pee

    There was a brown wet spot on her liner, which I'm assuming is pee. Is this something to be worried about? She's acting normal.

    She's lonely

    I just got a new chin a couple days ago and she barks all night long unless she can see my other chins and there's someone nearby. Last night my boyfriend slept on the couch because she would bark every time he tried to leave for the bed. I'm going to try to introduce her later, but I did only...

    Chin in East Greenbush, NY needs home

    He's at a pet store and has been there for months, at least since the summer. No one seems to want him, probably because he's a fur chewer. The woman working there says she'll go down to $75. The dust bath is in the cage and he's on charlie chinchilla food. He's sweet and will come to the side...

    Best Water Bottle?

    Now that I have a better hay holder, I find I need a new water bottle. This one leaks every time they run on the wheel and the other day I came home to find that the bottom of the bottle just fell right off. Water was everywhere. So I come here to ask, what's the best water bottle for my chins?

    What is the best hay holder?

    I just have a little ceramic container and all the hay gets pulled out as soon as I put it in the cage. Anyone have anything they'd recommend?

    So now I found a standard female chinchilla a year old on craigslist going for $50 with a cage. The cage is 3ft long, 2 ft wide and 20 inches high. They're eating guinea pig food. She was for the guy's daughter and she lost interest. I don't want the chinchilla going to a bad owner. I currnetly...

    Albany New York area

    I was wondering if anyone knows of any vets near Albany New York. I live over the hudson river in a town called East Greenbush. I am going to call around and see if any of the local vets know anything about chinchillas, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask here either.

    Injested Plastic

    I used to have ramps in my Superpet cage and they started chewing on them, I took the ramps out right away, but there was some serious chewing done. Is there anything that can be done for a chin that's injested plastic? My girls seem perfectly healthy right now.
