My chinchilla has started chewing his pellets to dust. I don't know why or if something is wrong with his teeth. He chews his wood still, engulfs any treats, drinks water, and eats his hay. He eats everything else normal but only recently started chewing up his pellets. Maybe I am giving him...

I'm not even sure if this is a incredible emergency but I will let you all decide that. Last night my chinchilla had something on his eye. Couldn't really tell what it was but me and my dad decided to use eye drops. A few months back the vet said we could use any kind of eye drops, even ones my...

In the last few days I've noticed something. Pixel off and on keeps his left eye half closed. There is no gunk or wetness coming from his eye or around it. And he doesn't do it all the time. My dad talked to the vet a while back and he said any eye drops [even for humans] can be okay for a chin...

So my friend's chinchilla was sick and she took her to the vet this morning. [The chinchilla is all better now, got teeth filed down] But the vet told my friend it would be good for both her chins to take this stuff for hairballs since chinchilla groom themselves often and can get hairballs...

My chin Pixel has been a fur biter for a while. But he has had no other problems. He adores dustbath time, he always eats his pellets and hay, chews his lava stones and wood I give him. My friends chinchilla however has gotten sick and is drooling so I've looked up malocclusion and other such...

My male chin Pixel has been fur biting for a few months now. After a while he stopped and it started growing back, then he started again. He is eating Oxbow pellets and hay, he takes bathes every few days, and he is very active. Always on his wheel and comeing out to be with me. So my question...

My male chin is around 6-7 months. And sometimes he uh...mounts my arm. Will this stop? Ever? Ha Second is, I never have found hair when I do hair ring checks, but his penis as well as his cone seem to have like black on them? Light and only one or two spots but is that normal?

Do male chinchilla mess with their...manhood...just for the fun of it sometimes? I mean. I noticed about a week ago that he seemed to be maybe "grooming" himself more than he should. About 3-4 times throughout the whole day. So me and my dad gave him a hair ring check, found nothing, and even...

I own a 6-7 month old black velvet male And my best friend has a 10 month old TOV Pink/White female We want to breed them but are not sure if we can. Some sites we researched said no, some said it was okay, some said you could do it but it is bad. Help me out, fill me in. Thank you!

Scarlett...back again. My friend pointed out that she thought Pixel may have hunchback. I thought nothing of it since I think he looks find [for once] since he has looked like this...for as long as I can remember. But me, being a worrier. Here is a pic. Help.

I just did a hair ring check on my male chin. No hair ring, but he wont fully retract, the very tip of his penis is still showing. Instead of a cone with a pointy in it has a flat round end...what do I do And the worst. I noticed this [in the pic] It is a sort of bump...is this normal You can...

My chin Pixel seems to worry me so much, first with his soft poop, then it was when he discovered he loved laying on his side on his cool stone...now it is his fur. I left him alone during the day like normal, and last night he was fine. But just now when I came to see him I noticed something...

Hi, I just joined Chins & Hedgies. My chinchilla's name is Pixel. He is around 5 or 6 months old and I have had him since May. Very rarely I would find him on his side, open his cage, and he would sit up and run around. But today after he ran around a bunch, he just laied on his side...
