Hey all, I'm an old timer from the early days of the forum, back to pick the collective brain of you awesome chinchilla lovers. You can see my back story here, but the relevant information is I have two senior-ish chins who have had the same three-tier Ferret Nation cage for a loooooooong time...

Howdy all, I was a member of Chins 'n Quills way back in .... 2007? Then Chins-n-Hedges (obvs) somewhere around 2009. I became fairly inactive as time went on, and haven't really participated here in years. Well, I'm back - perhaps temporarily - in hopes of some advice. But I'll start a...

Perfect, thank you!

I moved out to Portland, OR last month for a change of pace, and my roommate turned out to be a total psychopath. I opted to break our lease rather than get evicted for her being crazy, so I have until June 11th to get my things out. This is the day before I leave on a two week trip to see...

For the sake of posterity, I received this information this morning from a Midwest representative via e-mail: Not nearly as expensive as I was expecting, which is great!

Ha! As someone who frequently breaks out in hives at the randomest things, I can't help but hysterically laugh at this. Of all things!

Thanks guys. Would it be prudent to put his cagemate on a regimen as well, even though he is showing no symptoms? How likely is it that the vet would prescribe me a secondary course of the meds if Liam did start showing signs of a URI as well?

Yesterday morning I found Riley sitting in the corner of his cage with his nose between the bars making the strangest clicking sound every time he inhaled. I figured that was some kind of wheezing, checked with some members here, and ended up going in to the vet. They put him on oxygen right...

The two boys I've had for the last couple of years have been in a giant parrot cage with the seed guards attached, and I usually only had to vacuum every few days. I figured this was the amount of poo on the floor everyone had, and couldn't see what all the fuss about the mess was about here on...

I can't believe she hasn't had them yet! This is such a torturous wait :P

If you're worried about them jumping over the playpen then I know that people have made pens out of refrigerator boxes (just packing-tape the tall panels together with a little space between so you can still fold it). You won't be able to see through it, but once assembled it's fairly sturdy...

Did I miss the "Chinnies need rabies shots and deworming" thread?

Are you talking about supplies in general, or toys, or feed, or...? You're going to need to narrow it down. A basic set up includes a chin-safe cage, recommended pellets, hay, some wood chews, and dust (or at least that's all that comes to mind). Do a search here on the forum for any of those...

Check out this thread to get an idea of what our members think of it haha: http://chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134

You can put almost anything in there so longer as the chins aren't prone to chewing through the fleece. I put towel between mine; some people just do multiple fleece layers.

Have a ShamWOW? :P

If they've all been washed and dried prior to being sewn together, you should be fine putting them in the dryer as far as I know

Who do we talk to about getting a DIY section on the forum?

Whether you're intentionally trolling or not you seem to have been causing quite the stir. And the thread where you were drunk and being "attacked" is where that accusation took place, if you don't recall. Regardless I'm sure this thread has served its purpose. Photos were shared, advice was...

I'd prefer admins look into this a bit more, in all honesty, seeing as you've been accused of trolling in other threads of yours prior to this comment.
