I had a chinchilla in quarantine for 30 days she showed no signs of being sick so I brought her into my room with my other chinchillas. The first night she did this kind of beep exhale and then cried a few times after she did this for a good hour. I took her out of the cage decided to give her...

So we took in the 3 seniors a bonded pair and a single. The bonded pair are SUPER cute together!! They cuddle and lay on top of each other... makes my heart melt. I tried to intro the other senior and make it a 3-some but the single girl is being very dominate and kept starting a fight with the...

My two personal chinchillas passed away in the last year. Since then I haven't taken on any new chinchillas. I am happy to say I will be brinigng home 3 new chinchillas next weekend! They are seniors 11-13+ years I know we probably won't have them very long due to their age but we are happy...

I wanted to know if anyone had some ideas about how to raise funds for a chinchilla rescue. We could always use more ideas! OCPP doesn't just rescue chinchillas but we primarily rescue chins and currently have 9 chins in the rescue. (Not including the dogs and other animals) Being a new and...

My rescue: Orange County Pocket Pets just took in 3 chinchillas from a LA Shelter. One adult male One juvenile male One adult female who was very much pregnant I left them alone for a day (mommy of course separated from the boys) and I came back today and we had 3 more small additions to their...

I have seen a few people on C&H's who are breeders posting their kits for sale on clist in pets section and in the for sale section. I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware you are not allowed to sell your pets on clist if you are a breeder (or hobby breeder)... even if you put that the...

Hi everyone. I know times are hard and everyone’s dollar is stretching as far as it possibly can but I am hoping some of you have the ability to help some very needy parrots. Lily Sanctuary is taking on an additional 21 BIRDS this month! We desperately need cages, toys and other supplies for...

Has anyone ever posted about building cages? I am looking over what it would cost us to purchase FN's for the rescue and that’s out of our budget but with the shipping from KW or Quality that’s still pretty high... My dad builds hospitals so I know if I can rope him into helping we could build...

Hi I wanted to see how all of you who rescue and or run a rescue got started in rescuing chinchillas. I know a lot of you are breeders who have taken on a few rescues. Do you get individuals often that ask for rescues? Also for those of you who are not breeders how did you decide to start...

I did a quick search and couldn't find it. Does anyone have the number to get a hold of the manufacture of the FN 142's? I have one of my FN 142's and my puppy chewed off the locking latch on one side and I managed to break the wheel completely off on the other side. :crazy: Thanks

Hi I was posting this for my other Socal chin people. I have been talking to someone on clist and I first offered my house as a resting place for his chins. He has a male and female that he was keeping together... so they are breeding of course. He adopted out the female and the person he...

I was surfing the LA shelter system looking at their German Shepherds and I came across a chinchilla. I drove the 4 hours round trip to get him this morning. He was an owner turn in yesterday and they stated that he was 6 years old. I set up the top level of the FN I was going to sell and he has...

So I went to fill everyone’s water bottles tonight. I like the Edstrom Water Buddy but only one of my kennels have it, the other two have the glass water bottles with the ducks. (I am planning on ordering more for all the kennels). Anyways here I am pouring the water into the water buddy and...

My original two chins Gretzky and Ozzy have started a very annoying habit. Here is the story: They first had their FN 142 all to themselves. Then I brought home 3 more chins. I split the top and bottom so they had the top all to themselves. Then I bought a New FN 142 and put the cage to the...

While I was at the vet yesterday I was ready a bird magazine looks at toys as supplies. Which is where I find a lot of my chin stuff. Anyways I wondered by the company who makes a "catch all" which looks like a large peice of fabric which goes bellow your cage and connect to the kennel with...

The three new boys have seemed to get along ok. I came home tonight and coffee was attacked. Part of his ear is hanging, he has puncture wounds from the middle of his back to his tail, he has bit wounds on his head, each ear is bloody and the top of his head. He isnt moving. I can lay him down...

Drawings from my favorite drawing site (I did not draw any of these):

I guess this wont pertain to those of you with 60+ chins since you have tons of room but to more of the "pet" chin owners out there. Wondering how many others have been through what I am going through. I bought two chins they were great... wanted to get more to add on. I bought three more...
