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...

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...

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...

Having reviewed the FN Club thread in its entirety at least 4 times since last night, I'm now drooling over the idea of having a FN142 of my own. Before I get one, though, I have to know: Have any of you tried splitting it vertically? My current set up is a large parrot cage split vertically...

I would really like to have my chinchillas in a main area of my new place, but the boyfriend is concerned about hay and poo being all over the house, particularly when we have company. I have seen that many of you have the backs of your cages completely covered with fleece, as well as posts...

Hello again everyone; I'm back from the land of work, school, and responsibility ;) My boyfriend and I are moving into our own apartment (woohoo!) at the end of this month and while packing I reached the realization that I have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how to move my boys. Currently my two butt...

Well here he is everyone :) The pictures are here a bit late, sure, but they're here! Welcome my new little 6mo old boy, Muad Dib. Album: http://chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/album.php?albumid=119 I got him from a reasonably knowledgeable previous-owner who was feeding him Tradition and the same...

Saturday night I picked up a 6 month old chin named Muad'Dib from a craigslist seller and kept him in the carrier over night. He seemed very stressed out from the car ride so I didn't really want to move him yet, plus Brock was in the temp cage I was going to use as I hadn't full cleaned the...

Background info: http://chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4314 I've been giving Nibbler approximately 70mL of critical care every few hours, baytril and probiocin every 12 hours (probiocin some time after the baytril), and metacam every 24 hours. This morning after feeding, though, I...

I've decided in light of the bite wound Brock gave Nibbler to separate them. Since space in my room right now is at a minimum I can't get another cage as large as the one I currently have, nor would it be fair to house one of the boys in the large cage and the other in a smaller one. My solution...

It seems to be an annual occurrence. Nibbler has yet again incurred what I can only presume is a bite wound (some of you from the old forum may remember a similar incident early February of last year. the timing is ominous). I don't know how long it has been there as I haven't been home for a...

Not sure who of you will remember me but I joined CnQ shortly before getting my two boys. We sort of disappeared from this forum for a while (Sorry to those of you that had me working on some website stuff for you - I've been waiting on more e-mail comms from you but I never got anything)...
