I just went to Arbor View Animal Hospital in Valparaiso, IN., about an hour away from where I live. The nurses and vets were very helpful, talking to me over the phone about food and other questions I had. They were very accommodating when I needed to change my appointment. The vet worked during...

Mischki's front feet are dry. Also, her left front foot is red, sort of chafed looking on the top, and she holds it up most of the time. I'm going to buy bag balm today, but is it okay to use on her front feet, or should I use something else? Also, what should I do about the chafing, just use...

Hi, I am looking to buy or make some new toys for my chin Mischki for her outside play time (outside of the cage). I am looking for suggestions, links to website stores that have good toys, etc. Thanks!! :thumbsup:

My chin has a whisker that looks like it "snapped" kind of like a young twig. It's frayed where it "snapped" and it's bent. Should I leave it and see if it will fall off, or should I trim it? It's about 3/4" to 1" in from the tip (where it's frayed and broken)

Okay, I have a FN 142, with a Chin Spin on the left side of the cage. I have two wooden shelves, and the two original shelves it came with, because Mischki doesn't chew on those. Is there any way to make the cage stop shaking and rattling when Mischki is running in her wheel?? I can't really...

I'm new to this.....so I have no clue how to check my chin's teeth. If anybody has any links or instructions, it would be very helpful!! Thank you!! :D (All I know is you have to check them, but I have no clue how to do so)

Okay, so I noticed a couple of Mischki's poo is attached to each other. Is this the start of a problem? I've only seen two so far, and they've both been today. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here's some pics of Mischki :)

I haven't found any instructions or advice on how to clean or prepare grape vines to make toys for chins... can anyone help me out? I have grape vines in my back yard, but I have no clue how to make them safe. thanks! :D

I'm just wondering which Chinchilla wheel I should go with? There's the Chin Spin, which is $55, of course, or one at chincessories, for $20. Chin Spin: http://qualitycage.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_19&products_id=1802 Chincessories...

I just want to make sure Mischki is doing okay, seeing as I just got her today/last night. There might be a thread somewhere that lists it, but I've been searching, and I can't find it, so if anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks! :D

Just got my new chinchilla girl, almost 5 mo old Mischki tonight! :D She was very subdued at first, but she has been exploring her cage for the past half hour to hour. I'll try and get some pictures tomorrow!

I'm going to be going on vacation this weekend, and my chin has to stay here. Would it be better, (since it's new), to just heap food and water, hay, and dust for it, or should I have someone come check on it once a day? :hmm: Thanks!

I'm getting my chinchilla tomorrow, and I'm buying either a ferret nation or critter nation cage, and I know they have plastic bottoms. I'm going to order metal pans, but that's going to take at least a couple days to get here. Is there anything I can use to cover the plastic or replace it until...

I have a huge grape vine on my fence, and I noticed in here that you can make your own toys out of the vines! Could anyone explain to me how to do that? I'm new to all this, getting my chinchilla within the next few weeks, and I'd like to have some toys made for him/her! Thanks! :bliss:

Hi! I'm looking at getting either one chinchilla from a breeder, or a pair of young males from a shelter (they're already bonded). I bought bedding (kiln dried aspen), food (small bag Nutriphase, until I get get some online), hay (timothy), one bundle of chew sticks for now, a house, which...

Hi everybody! My name's Lindsey, but you can call me Linz. Whichever. I'm 19 at the moment, and I am looking at buying a chinchilla or two either this week or in the next couple weeks. There is a pair of young males, who have been raised and bonded together at a local animal shelter, or I can...
