Chinchilla wheel for sale in Burbank/Los Angeles, CA area!

Wondering if I should be concerned at all or if this is normal... I have two brothers, who are now about 4 months old (approximately). The last three mornings, one of them (Dash) has been spending a lot of time "cleaning himself". The chinchillas I've had in the past have done this of course...

I've had the littler pan in for a few days now. Both boys took to it right away and have been using it ever since!!!

Great - thank you!!

Good news - they took to the litter pan right away and no more messes! :)

Wondering what everyone does for out of cage time. I used to have a spare room just for the chinchillas (I have 2), but that's no longer an option. I'm wondering if anyone has tried the playpens or if you have other portable ideas? I'm looking for an option that I can use in any room and...

I've seen him lay his head right where he pees, so my guess is that he's laying in it. But I guess he could be laying there and his brother pees on him in that same spot. I'm hoping it's not malicious between the two. Do you think? I'll put a litter pan in and see what happens.

How young can I start litter training? My boys are just over 3 months old, but they seem consistent with the corner they choose to pee in. Is that too young to put a glass littler pan in to start training?

About a month ago, I got 2 baby boys, so they are now just over 3 months old. A couple of times now, one of them (Dash) has seemed to be covered in pee. (At least that's what I'm guessing from the smell!) Is this normal behavior for a young chin? I've only ever had adults, so not 100% sure what...

And what about temperature? I've read things about babies needing some warmth. But I'm clueless when it comes to that. I just know my adults are never in heat above 75ish. (Sorry for the number of questions, but I truly appreciate your help!)

Wow. That's a HUGE help! Thank you. Right now I have them in a carrier because I wasn't sure about the cage size. I've had many adult chins, but never any babies. These two came from a rough situation. Long story short: A friend of a friend had two chins, thought they were the same sex, they had...

Also... these may be silly questions... but 1) can they have dust baths regularly? 2) should their poops be similar (but smaller of course) than adults? Please HELP ASAP! I already have them and feel a bit lost. Thanks!

Hi All! I'm fostering 2 Male 2-Month Old kits and they were just dropped off today. They didn't come from a good situation, so I don't know much about their life before now, but I know their mother died a few weeks ago. They have been eating Timothy Hay and drinking water from a water bottle...

Thanks for the info! I just found out they meant to say 6 WEEKS not 6 Months. Ugh! So they are now only about 2 Months Old. Any additional insights on the younger ones? Can they have levels in their cage yet? etc. Please let me know! TIA!

I'm going to be fostering two 6 month old little boys. And even though I've had many chins over the years, I've never had chins this young, so I had a few questions: 1) Does their housing need to be any different than a full-grown chin? I've always had the double critter nation, but I'm...

Looking for some advice on weaning a chinny off of critical care food. A little background: Cotton is about 8 years old and has recently developed some teeth problems. :( He stopped eating and we saw the vet on April 2nd. He got a trimming and was in a lot of pain and lost some weight so we've...

Looking for Fleece Liners for the Critter Nation cage (with Bass metal pans). It's a double, so I need fleece liners for the large bottom pan and the large second story pan with the cutout. Any suggestions on who makes these and where to order them?

Just got metal pans for my boys cage, but a little worried about him slipping. I have fleece in a few areas but have never completely covered the pans in fleece. He's also litter pan trained so I don't want to use wood shavings on the bottom. Is this something he'll get used to? Is it safe...

I have emailed Bass but will call on Monday to see about a custom order. I've never had a problem before but all of a sudden, my boy is constantly trying to chew on the plastic of the half shelves. We've been in this cage for 4 years without a problem, so not sure why it's starting now. He has...

Looking for Wood or Metal Shelves to fit where the plastic shelves go in the Critter Nation. Would like to get two of them ASAP. Anyone here make/sell them? or know of a site to get them? I was looking at Bass, but it seems they only offer the larger levels. Any help is most appreciated!
