Dear Secret Santa, This is my veeery first christmas, and I promise I've been good! I might not want to be held or give you kisses, but I never bite. The worse bite I will ever give you will be just enough for you to feel my teeth on your skin. If I don't want you to pet me, the first thing I...

Needless to say, she was given a bath as soon as I found out.

So I know this isn't necessarily about my chinchilla, but I felt like it had to be posted somewhere because this is too funny. So I was playing with Oscar (the chinchilla), and after each session of play time with him I let him have his dustbath. I just use a circular casserole dish that has a...

Thanks for the tips! I love your systematic approach, gave me a good laugh, and some great information. I'll try to get a more consistent schedule for her to play, and I never thought that my detergent might be too strong for her. We have changed detergent recently that smells more flowlery, and...

Thank you for the reply! I would weigh her, but I don't have a scale, haha :) But I named her sugar, even though she's the complete opposite of being a sweetie pie. She's an albino. :)

Well, a few days after this post, she began eating regularly, but she still doesn't accept treats from me. But the biting has become much, much worse. I am just so fed up with her that I just feel like curling up into a ball and crying my eyes out. I realized after some searching that she was...

:) :)

Well, I got a hedgie :3 I would delete this thread if I only knew how. haha

I am by no means a expert, but it looks just like an algerian apricot snowflake. I looked at this website ... http://hedgehogcentral.com/colorguide.shtml :3

I agree with Melbur that it is a wild animal, and animals belong in the wild. But isn't that where any pet has come from in the first place? Even animals that have been bred to be pets will act like a wild animal if they are not handled. Think of wild cats. People still will capture them, and...

Well, I really can't help you out on the whole wild thing considering hedgehogs, but I can help ya a bit on your cage set up. Outside should be fine as long as it's warm enough. If it's lower than 70 degrees, they can try to go into hibernating, and I'm not sure if it applies to wild hedgies...

So, I got a hedgehog, but I don't think she has eaten since I have gotten her 2 days ago. I have been having regular hedgehog food in her little bowl, and I have also been trying to give her treats. Like meal worms, lettuce, carrots, apples. She ate a bite of lettuce today, but that's all. :/...

So I just got this hedgehog tonight that is suppose to be 8.5 weeks old. I didn't think of it until I got back to my house, but she seems a little big for her age... She is an albino female, and is about the length of my hand. When I have googled '8 week old hedgehog', they all seem about the...

I've been wanting a hedgehog for quite a while now, and I really want to give one a great home. <3 I am looking for a baby hedgehog with a cuddly personality, either sex. I am not concerned about coloring. I am hoping to pay about 100 dollars for the hedgehog, and I am willing to drive about an...

No one has an answer?

Holy adorable! <3

So each chinchilla has their own behavior, but mine seems a bit hyperactive. I was wondering if that was only because he is 7 months old, because he is not quite comfortable with his surroundings, or because that is his own behavior/personality. He is a cutie, and I will love his furry little...

I may be new at chin loving, but my Oscar absolutely loves the ball. I have never forced him into it, nor have I ever left him in there for long. The very first time that I got it for him, he was curious of the ball, and hopped into it, I'm guessing he thought that it was a little hide away. So...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! <3

I've been going around and have been trying to figure out what could be the reasoning behind this, and I found a post saying... Tufts of fur might be little fur-slips (chinnies shed clumps of fur to escape predators or grabby owners). Maybe your girls play a little rough, and that leaves some...
