We noticed that Koopa's poop was a little shiny and softer than usual a couple days ago. I did more research yesterday and last night we pulled his pellets, gave him half a shredded wheat and unlimited hay. All treats (crushed rosehips and rose petals) have been stopped. Background...

I haven't been on to post in a while but thought this picture was pretty cute. Here's one of me with Koopa during play time the other night. He loves to climb all over my head right after his dust baths! I'd love to see other chin hats!

Clark up until now has only let us pet his nose, and even that was only on occasion and he didn't let us do it for very long. Last night, he was sitting on a shelf so I reached in and scratched under the side of his chin, and boy did I hit the spot! He tilted his little head to the side, closed...

I'm sorry if this isn't posted in the right section, please move it if it is. We are flying to New York (where I'm originally from) in August to get married and all of our friends who usually come over to watch the chins for us will be flying to NY as well for the wedding. Can anyone in the LA...

I just finished vacuuming the whole apartment with extra attention around their cage with a dustbuster. They're both fast asleep and there is more hay on the floor outside of their cage when I know it wasn't there a few minutes ago! Where does it come from?! :hmm: How do you keep the area...

I'm pretty sure he'd hate me if he knew what I did to his pictures when he wasn't looking. :) Clearly I have no skills in photoshop or paint lol

Of course I started decorating it right away for when we can eventually (hopefully) house the boys together in there. I spent all day building pans from pine because we couldn't justify spending money on the Bass metal ones right now after Koopa's vet bills. It took forever since I only have...

Before we had to bring Koopa to the vet last week/weekend, he was pretty tame. We had done the slow start where we put our hands in the cage to let him sniff/move a treat up the arm etc. and he had really warmed up to us. If you put both hands in the cage, he would climb on and let you pick...

I've read this site for quite some time but didn't join until the other day when I unfortunately had a question in the health section. We got our first little boy, Clark, about 3 1/2 months ago from Cuddlebug. He was our first chinchilla and she did such a great job of teaching us a lot about...

I cleaned my boy's cage a few hours ago and since then, there have been no poops on his fleece bedding or any of the wood shelves. I've seen him drink, eat pellets, and eat hay but haven't found any poops. I haven't noticed him chewing on anything he shouldn't have been during playtime. This...
