I am buying my stepson's sister whom lives in florida something for christmas from him. She is six years old and i have no idea what to buy a 6 year old girl. My question is what things are popular for a six year old?

When you all make the fleece liners for the FN do you cut them a little bigger? I am going to make some but dont really know where to start. Also do you just use 3 liners of fleece? Also do you wash the fleece before you sew it? Thanks

I was going to order some hay from kleenmama's and didnt really know which do chins prefer 1st cut, 2nd cut timothy or 3rd cut? Mine are on oxbow right now but waste so much of it. I feed orchard about once a week and they dont waste as much of it. They dont like the botanical at all.

Can you give a chin baby greens to help with bloat and get the gut moving? I was told this by a vet a while back and was just wondering. I thought it was kinda ridiculous, he's not a rabbit.

Where can I buy Dyne from? I know chocolate chinchillas has it but can i buy it from like a health food store? Or is this something she makes? My sick boy needs some meat on him!!

Because of smokey's condition and he's not drinking i am administering sub-q fluids of 60cc a day of lactated ringers. My only question is why do they always give lactated ringers and not just normal saline. Lactated ringers contains potassium and do they really need all this potassium? I guess...

How can you tell if a chin is blind?

Ok i dont know if some of you have read the emergency thread "Help need advice" but i am posting a new one with an update!! I took smokey to another vet because the other 2 I have been to seem to know nothing about chins. He started having diarrhea yesterday, I stopped the reglan and cisapride...

Ok so i dont know if you all read my other post under help need advice. But now smokey has soft poo. I havent changed his food or anything. He wont take shreaded wheat or burnt toast. He is eating some pellets but no hay, so i dont want to pull his only food. Maybe it was all the meds he has...

Is Bene-Bac pet gel ok to give to chinchillas? I am guessing it is like probiotics. The vet gave it to me to give because he is on antibiotics.

Hi I just have a few questions. I noticed just the past couple days that my boy chin whom is about 6 months old is pooping much less and his poops are very very small. I am concerned about constipation. He is currently on oxbow and is free fed timothy hay and also gets a pinch of ryerson's...

My chins are on oxbow pellets. I need to buy more but usually i buy from people on the forum and it's shipped it just zip lock bags. This time i am just going to buy from the store. My question is does oxbow have a milled date on the bag or just a for sale by date? If it does have a mill date...
