    Recommended Hay & Food for a Chin

    I buy my chins fresh Timothy bales from a feed store and occasionally oxbow pellets. I give twigs, rose hips and occasionally goji berries for treats. I’m in Southern California and there is a non-profit rabbit and chinchilla rescue called The Bunny Bunch. Caroline, the gal that runs it is...

    Looking for large double fleece hammocks and apple twigs!

    Hi ya’ll, I haven’t posted in a long while, so I can’t remember who I’ve bought stuff from in the past. I’m looking for a medium flat rate postal box of Apple twigs and a large double fleece cage hammock to fit a cage that is 18 1/2 inches by 30 1/2 inches. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Excessive Pooping?

    I've tried to research on te site nd the web but can't find anything so I'm appealing to the "experts.". :). I will provide a background on her to hopefully answer all the preliminary questions. I have a very healthy pet female chin, that I adopted from a rescue 2 years ago. She was not...

    Need opinions on sex please!

    To me, it just looks like a pet store chin that really needs a bath. I sure it's handled a lot by kids with greasy paws lol.

    Pet Store Food

    Petsmarts in southern California don't carry for chins anymore, much to my dismay. Interesting that they carry it for ferrets though and they are illegal in California. Go figure. My chins don't like oxbow; so I order Mazuri from the classified section. Several breeders/chin suppliers will...

    Fattening up chins?

    I have two healthy 2-year old chins that are full of energy. I don't really want to say they are on the small side; i think sleek is a better word, but they are definitely not as "fat" as my other chins. I'm wondering on member's views on feeding supplements to "fatten" them up and if it's...

    Good hay brands??

    I have a rabbit/chin rescue locally in so. California where I buy my hay and such. They have an amazing custom blend of oat, wheat and barley that I feed my babies. It is always so fresh and fragrant and they ship! I went to a feed store and bought a bale of Timothy and they wouldn't touch it...

    how to properly introduce chins?

    I had a 4 month old kit whose mother got out of the cage while the dog was in and met with obviously tragic conclusions. Thankfully the kit was weaned by that time, yet she had still been quite attached to mom and I was very worried about keeping her alone. I had rescued an older female kit...

    Orange County Chinchillas

    Yes, that was it. Mike Attard. I was just going through old email addresses... I had inquired about purchasing a chinchilla from him awhile back and just remembered "Orange County Chinchillas." LOL Thanks.

    Orange County Chinchillas

    Does anyone recall a ranch called Orange County Chinchillas? I seem to remember there was one on CNQ but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Maybe it went out of business?

    Southern California (Los Angeles or Orange County)

    I don't believe they still treat Chinchillas, at least, when I called 2 years ago they didn't. Plus, the area code has changed, so I believe it's old. However, here is one that does: Dr. Sari Kanfer Dr. Domotor's Animal House 135 W. Foothill Boulevard Monrovia, CA 91016 (626) 303-7881 She...

    Is owning a chin really what you expected?

    We stumbled upon our first chinchilla at a mom & pop pet store. My husband and daughter saw him when they were checking out the new store in town and he said "absolutely not." I went back a few days later to take a look and was smitten. We brought him home, a beautiful hetero beige and my...

    My X1 and X2 Pictures

    LOL Thanks. I tried to get more pics last night... IMPOSSIBLE! Those little things were EVERYWHERE! The gray weighs 210g and the little white one is 204g. Poor mom stood up on her hind legs this morning to greet me as I was leaving for work. She had two circles on her underside. They were...

    My X1 and X2 Pictures

    The 2nd set of pictures came out very dark... the lighter one actually DOES look like a hetero beige in the photos, but she's actually white like her mom. I wasn't using a very good camera and I was standing right under my ceiling fan, so the lighting was really bright. I'll try to take some...

    My X1 and X2 Pictures

    Thanks everybody! We were very excited when they came. The kids immediately named them Muffin (the white one) and Amigo (the gray one) even though they are both girls. LOL We might end up renaming the latter though! They are something else. We had an unseasonable heat wave this past week...
