    Vegan vs Vegetarian

    If you didn't want to go 100% vegetarian, but still stay compassionate to animals and avoid those yucky hormones, there is an alternative that, I believe, is gaining a lot of popularity. This is something I plan to do starting soonish... Buy your meat and vegetables local. It's good for the...

    Mini English Bulldog breeder

    I know this is a long shot, but I know there are a lot of chin breeders on here, and it seems like you all know a lot of other chin breeders in the community. Is there anyone that knows of any reputable mini English bulldog breeders or where/how to find them? I'm looking for one in the VA area...

    Small pet selling ban in S.F.

    I have never received a care sheet with my purchase. I've purchased hamsters and a guinea pig before. I had to look up the care information myself.

    Small pet selling ban in S.F.

    I think the ban will help. People are way less likely to impulse buy at a breeder or at a shelter. But with pet stores, they go to their local mall, see the cute little hamsters and guineas and rabbits in their little cage, and say, "Aww! So cute! I want one!" So then they buy it and bring...

    very short eclipse trailer

    I definitely liked this one so much better than the other 2. The only good part of the second movie was the fact that Jacob was shirtless through most of it LOL! My favorite part was when Jacob came into the tent and said, "After all, I am hotter than you." The whole audience was like "Woot...

    Pooped chin after excercising!

    They live in separate cages, so even if one were a boy, there is no way she could be pregnant by her/him. Every time they've had a chance to be together, they've just fought. However, her old cage mate, Chinny, did pass away a little over a month ago. And I had always thought they were both...

    Pooped chin after excercising!

    She does have access to her cage during playtime, but she never wants to go in. We always end up having to put her in ourselves. And to the question below this one, she's about 2.5 years old.

    GPS systems

    I have to say that I loooove my husband's GPS! And his mom looooves it too. It's not the prettiest one (it's not flat like the new, sleek-looking ones) but it works so well, and its directions are so easy to follow! He has a Garmin StreetPilot c330 (I looked it up for his mom because she...

    New Curly Fur Mutation by Ritterspach?

    They should breed the curly and angora chins together, so the curly chins could have long curly hair! I think that would be really pretty!

    Cage Chewing

    My chin chews her bars all the time! Especially when I come in the room -- she's always begging to come out of the cage. We used to have a cage with a plastic slide-out bottom, and she chewed a huge hole through it to get out. That's why we got her the Ferret Nation -- so she can't chew...

    Pooped chin after excercising!

    I'm just wondering if this is normal behavior. After one of my chinchillas has out of cage time and runs her little heart out, she always goes back to the cage very pooped. She just falls onto her side and passes out, figuratively speaking. Even if I come over, she'll just lay there passed...

    Fleece

    My chinchillas really like their fleece! I can't really give you a scale, since I just started using it. One of my chinchillas has a wooden bed I made with a fleece mattress that she likes to sleep on like every other day. Some days she likes to lay in her wooden house though. My other...

    Chins at Petco

    When I go to the pet store, the chins are always sleeping in their dust bath house. Usually they do have a wheel, but no ledges. One time I saw like 5 chinchillas sleeping in one dust bath! It was crazy! I've also seen all different breeds -- standard grey, black velvet, and pink white...

    Are you lazy? Tell the truth!

    I would agree with selectively lazy... at home, I like to lay in my bed on my laptop and not do anything productive. But at work I am a workaholic, and when I choose to be productive, I work really hard. But I am very low maintenance... so if I don't have to do my hair and put on makeup, I...

    Scared of malo :o(

    Reading one of the threads on here made me do some research on malocclusion. And it made me really scared. Both my chins are still young... so now I'm afraid for their future :(. I don't know much about their past. One is from a breeder originally (can't remember which one though) and the...

    Describe your ideal cage.

    My ideal dream cage would be HUGE! It would be like big enough for me to step in, with lots of wooden branches all over the place for the chinchillas to run around and feel like they're in their natural environment, and not need play time outside the cage. And I would come into their cage to...

    Is Mork the only deaf chinchilla?

    Interesting. When I read the question, I was wondering how you'd be able to tell. But I guess my chins are probably not def, because they can always tell that I'm coming and wake up. There's been very few times that I've actually seen them sleeping.

    If your chinchilla could talk...

    Last night I had a dream that one of my chinchillas started talking to me, and she started saying that she doesn't think I'm feeding her a completely vegan diet. And then she told me that she called the food companies to find out if their pellets were 100% vegan, and they had no comment, so she...

    Some pet owners scare me

    Why did he take a picture of the chinchilla on his shirtless hairy chest??? I just feel like there's more flattering ways to take pictures... And poor Chinny :(. He definitely needs a dust bath!
