UPDATE: Sorry for not being able to get online and update you all, but I just started a new job. Anyways Sushi is all better, they drained the abscess back when I mentioned it. She is now so much happier and healthier. She is gaining weight slowly but surely. She oddly doesn't like hay cube or...

Thank you for all the help, I'll look up a vet here that knows about chinchillas and take her asap. I'll update you all about the situation. Hopefully she'll be ok =(

Another Problem has come up with her. She has what looks like a double chin or lump under her chin. It's huge. I can't tell if it's just the fur, I tried touching it and it's not hard like a jaw breaker but also not just fluff. She didn't have this yesterday... it's huge about the size of two...

Pix of our lil girl who we rescue on 2/10/14, we'll post pix of her progression.

So my boyfriend and I named our little girl "Sushi," after watching a documentary on Netflix which was the same way we came up with Tofu's name. I am definitely keeping the chin spin in because she doesn't use it enough to lose weight, she literally does like two to three spins and then stops...

Thank you! I just checked my order and apparently I got alfalfa-oat cubes... I made the order at 4am. Do you think that is ok or should I buy the loose type? Thank you Dawn!

Good morning everyone, Again thank you all for the advice. I did place an order with you Susan, like I told you in the email I ordered the critical care to have on hand incase things go south. She is eating and drinking, so I can rule out dental problems. I haven't been able to check her teeth...

Thank you both for the information!! I'll definitely order some good quality hay and pellets. I ordered critical care just in case, so I'll have it on hand. She is eating and extremely thirsty. I don't think she had much water at her old home. She drank non stop for 5 mins. She appears to be...

Tofu and I welcomed a new member to our little family today, a rescued Chinchilla. She's in terrible shape, she's missing fur on her thighs, is very skinny and has crusty stuff on top of her ears. She's very sweet though. She is some type of beige. I need help. What can I do to fatten her up...

What area are you trying to block exactly: doorways or are you trying to for a playpen? I wouldn't suggest poster board since not only are they flimsy but chins will chew that up. Have you tried looking for pens or baby fences? Remember you don't need to buy new, search craigslist and other places.

Yay I am glad he dusted! If it ever comes to a point where you think he isn't and his fur is getting greasy...rub a little dust on him yourself. But from the looks of it... I think he managed to figure it out!

Congrats on the adorable little ones. I just read through this thread and must say I admire the hard work you went through and definitely your strength for not giving up on the lil guy! 2 years... he definitely proved to be one of the 10%. Send Stewie, Bonus and the three lil ones a hug from...

Awwuh they are both very cute, are they mosaics (still new to all the mutations)? As for the lil ear I think that makes him even more interesting. My cat has the world's most crooked tail, when I got her as a kitten. .. her previous owner said over the phone "I have to warn you she has a...
