Today was a cage cleaning day and it was so nice and sunny out, I figured I would take a video and post it here for anyone interested to check out! First cage (Martins Folding Mansion): silver/mosaic female, 10 weeks old (No name yet) Second cage (Ferret Nation): TOV Ebony male, 9 months old...

Hi All, I am trying to come up with a way to build some sort of play structure with tunnels and steps and ledges. I figure cardboard is the best option as far as materials go, but I don't know much about planning the design. Does anyone have any suggestions?

So I posted a few days ago about the Marshall Folding Mansion. I found it on craigslist for $50 so I decided to get it. Now that I have it, I figured I would post about it in case anyone is considering it. It is BIG. I am estimating it is approximately the same size as the ferret nation. It is...

Hi everyone, So to preface this question, my situation is kind of strange. I am a senior in college and I have 6 chins. I have two full set ups, one at home and one at school. At home I have 3 Ferret Nations and at school I have a Ferret Nation and two quality cages, and then I recently got a...

I am an animal science major at my university, and we have learned about zeuterin in a number of my classes. We were always learning about it being used on cats and dogs though. Basically it is a form of non-surgical neutering, which involves an injection in each testicle. The humane society...

I posted about this kit in the general chin topics inquiring about her color, but I am a bit worried about her. She is only 8 weeks old. I got her from the humane society, and she came in in a cage with 5 other chins, one of which was her mom. The humane society separated her without any weaning...

The humane society that I am an intern at had several chins brought in all in one cage. When I went to look at them I just couldn't resist this one kit. She is an 8 week old female, and I have a question about her mutation (no particular reason, I am just always curious). I don't know what...

I know this is a long shot but I figured it was worth at least asking. Does anyone have a stand for a quality cage chinchilla mansion that they no longer need?? I am located near Chicago but would drive a reasonable distance, and will be in central illinois in late August. Thanks!

I just called a local feed store near me because they have listed on their website timothy bales. I called and asked about them and they told me that they get the hay from Arlington Park Race Track. They don't know what cut it is or anything like that. Does anyone have any insight as to whether...

I am considering switching over from Oxbow Essentials to Purina Rabbit Chow. First off, which type would be alright to switch to? I have seen Purina Rabbit Pro Show listed on the forum but I do not see a product by that exact name. Is it Purina Rabbit Chow Show? If not, which one is acceptable...

Just got a new baby male. He is super sweet and very cute. Here is a link to a few pics: http://imgur.com/a/VAsNV Question for breeders: he does not have a white belly so I am under the impression he is a TOV ebony, not a Black Velvet...is that correct? His father is an ebony mosaic and his...

I am looking to purchase bulk toy parts and I would like to avoid shipping if possible. Is there anyone near the Chicago area that sells toy parts? I live in the NW suburbs but I am willing to drive a reasonable distance.

Hi All- I know there is a craigslist section but I read the rules and it doesn't seem to fit since if is not a "for sale" ad. I found this ad and it concerned me but I wasn't sure what can be done about it. The ad is on the Milwaukee, WI Craigslist, and it is about a chinchilla "rescue"...

So I decided to turn two of my Ferret Nations into 183s! I left the "floor" out of the top two levels. The chins seem to love it. Here are some pics and a video (in one of the descriptions: http://imgur.com/a/KvvjU I will be adding more shelves and accessories. Thought you guys might enjoy...

I am looking for some wood chews for my chins. Apple wood is their favorite, but I would prefer a mixed box (hopefully including apple). I have 5 chins so I need it to be a larger quantity. Located in zip code 60004, so whatever the cheapest shipping option would be will be greatly appreciated...

I was taking pics of my chins yesterday, and I got pretty lucky! I caught Chip, one of my mosaic males cleaning his whiskers after dusting :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHG7DXMjBYs

I will start off by saying I am NOT planning on breeding. I don't even have any females :) I am just curious about this. How are each of the mutations produced, or what are the possible kit mutations from each different pairing (whichever is easier to answer)? I was just thinking about it and...

So I had a friend who decided she could no longer keep her chins. There was one in particular, a 6 month old mosaic male, who she thought would fit well with my group (I got my beige from her about a month and a half before this guy). She knew how I take care of mine so she decided to give me...

I don't know what has been going on lately. My bonded pair of standard grey brothers who are around 4 years old (and have been together their whole lives) have always gotten along great. One night a few months ago, I believe in december, they woke me up fighting like crazy in their cage, fur...
