So my chins (in a Ferret Nation) use fleece liners and litter pans with wood shavings. My problem is that one of my chins uses her litter pan half the time, and the other half of the time thinks it's a toy that she should kick all the shavings out of. This makes a mess on the floor and it makes...

Does anybody here have a Tumblr blog (or other blog) about chinchillas? I was browsing the #chinchilla tags on there today and was disappointed to see that 90% of the stuff on there is bad. Lots of people with pictures of their chins in death balls, mangey fur, and crappy cages full of chewed...

Pudge will not stop chewing the bars of her ferret nation and it's driving me absolutely bonkers. I've tried telling her "no" in a firm voice, I've given her thousands of wood chews that she has absolutely no interest in... I give her a fresh handful of hay when she does it and it distracts her...

So, we have a minor bug problem at my house and its giving me the heebie jeebies. I want to ask my landlord to spray for bugs, but I'm worried about my chins. I searched and couldn't find any posts on this topic. Do any of you guys have experience with this? Are there methods that are safer than...

Hey guys I know many of us struggle with getting the pee smell out of fleece liners. I see vinegar being suggested a lot, but I wasn't really satisfied with it when I added it to the laundry. Today I sprinkled about a cup of baking soda in the wash with the liners (and regular detergent) and it...

So this morning my girls ate the last of their Oxbow and the new shipment still hasnt arrived yet. Ups tracking says it wont get here for another 4 days. Will they be ok on just hay for that long or do I need to get another bag at Petsmart?

Yesterday I got the official news from my landlord that by the end of the summer (hopefully around the first two weeks of August) my fiance, dog, two chinnies, and I will be moved to a super great renovated townhouse. This is EXCITING because it will have my very own washer, dryer, and...

Hey guys. My mom and my sister (age 11) really want to get a rabbit. We don't know a ton about them. I had rabbits as a kid but I think we did a lot of things wrong, so now I turn to the animal experts (you guys) to try and get off on the right foot this time. Is getting a rabbit from a breeder...

My friend posted this on my facebook wall earlier today and I totally cried a little.

http://www.wric.com/Global/story.asp?S=14191612 Crazy! Basically the story is that a dog chewed off three of his owner's toes while he was sleeping. Apparently, this has happened before. This isn't because the dogs are aggressive, but because dogs have a natural instinct to amputate diseased...

Ok so here's what's going on with my girls right now. Banilly has lately been getting a little aggressive towards both me and my fiance. Every since we moved her into the FN (around the beginning of the summer) she won't let us pick her up while in the cage. In the old cage, the door was small...

Hey guys It's been really dry here cause of winter and today when I looked in Pudge's cage I saw a bloody footprint on one of her ledges. I checked her feet and sure enough they were super dry and one had a small cut on it. It looks like a little paper cut. I'm kinda freaking out and don't...

I finally got Pudge a marble tile from Lowe's yesterday! I spent like twenty minutes in the store debating whether or not I wanted to have it cut in half (it's a square foot.) It being big will be a pain whenever I have to take her fleece out, but the guy said since it's marble and has all the...

Hi guys My friend is going to JoAnn's today after class so I figured I'd come along and check out some fleece for liners. I'm supposed to use the blizzard fleece, right? On their webpage it looks like solids are about $3.20 a yard right now. If I want to make two sets of liners for my FN (no...

Hey guys I'm looking for a really good (CnH approved!) dog forum or website. Specifically for golden retrievers, if you know of any. We're having all kinds of issues with Rusty :( Mostly dry skin again, ears, and a couple behavioral issues. I've googled a little, but then remembered all the...

\ Definitely not under her shelf liner... She must have escaped! Oh, nevermind, I found her :))

Hey guys, I have an 8 year old golden retriever with very dry skin. We just switched him to Blue Buffalo salmon formula since we were told fish is good for their skin. It's too soon to see any big improvement yet but I'm wondering if any of you know of something we can do to kind of boost the...

I was on StumbleUpon today and saw this page: http://www.thefeaturedcreature.com/2010/08/i-need-to-hug-vizcacha.html When I saw this picture, I knew they were related to chins Turns out I'm right. They are also South American and are in the Chinchillidae family! These guys are sooo...

I got this plant today, but I have no idea what kind it is and if the aroma is toxic to chins. Hopefully one of you guys can tell me. Obviously, I'm not going to put it anywhere the chins can chew it, but I know occasionally the aromas of plants can be harmful. I really want to put this plant...
