So.. I love in Chile (South America) and I have two chinchillas named Bruno and Freddie.. one from a local breeder and the other from a pet store where they fed him rabbit pellets, no hay, no toys, all plastic cage, so I had to rescue him. The only problem is that everything for chinchillas is...

Hello, today I did my monthly hair ring check on my two male chins. One of them was clean, and the other had a hair ring so I carefully removed it and then I noticed his penis looking kind of weird in comparison to my other chin. Is this due to the hair ring? Should I be worried? I already...

Hi! A few weeks ago I introduced my male chinchilla to my new male chinchilla. They get along perfect, no fighting, just that both of them will sometimes mount the other chin, but not especifically one but both of them tey to mount the other. Otherwise they get along great is this because they...

Hi everyone. I just got my chinchilla Freddie around a month and a half ago. Everything is going great, I love him so much and he seems happy but I can imagine him getting very lonely. I was thinking about getting him another male chinchilla so he can have a friend( they would both be males)...

I give my chinchillas hay cubes one in a while. Normally it takes him about 24 hrs to eat a hay cube and he loves them! But lately when I look at his hay bowl he shreds the hay instead of eating all of it. He does eat a good portion of it but he leaves like shredded pieces of hay cube. Is that...

I've had my chinchilla Freddie for 2 weeks now. he's really cute and I love him, I play with him for like an hour a half a day. I would more but he is still a little scared of me, since he's pretty new. But the rest of the time he's usually just sleeping and seems really bored in his cage. He...

Sorry for posting so much. I'm really worried. My chinchilla Freddie's tummy is still round and big. He has eaten a lot an drank water. He pooped a lot more than usual, the poop seams Ok except for the fact that they are a little larger than usual. He's not bloated because he is not lethargic...

It's a little long but please try to read the whole thing. Last night I made a thread about how Freddie's waterbottle wasn't working and that today I went and got a new waterbottle (he had water in a bowl JUST for last night). he didn't drink water for a little less than a day. Since he didn't...

This was Today: I check Freddie's water bottle every day to check if it's working. Well today I left for school at around 7 am and came back at 4 pm. As usual I checked around 6pm to see if the water bottle was working. Well it wasn't.. He also didn't eat any pellets or hay today (I'm guessing...

My new chinchilla won't use his dust bath. I've changed containers 3 times. I've tried leaving him alone with it inside his cage, putting it outisde the cage, etc. He just looks at it and walks away. When I put him directly in the dust bath he just leaves like he's scared. What can I do? Is this...

Hi! Is this superpet medium carrier ok to transport a chinchilla? I know it's made out of mostly cloth but it will be for no more than an hour and a half tops. Also, what should I put in the carrier, food? shoud I have a water bottle if it's only for an hour and a half? thanks:) Here's a...

A few days ago I told you guys I was building a chinchilla cage!! Well it's done (except I haven't put the toys, food, etc.) but the cage is finally done. What do you guys think? It's for one chinchilla. I still have to add tons of stuff but the cage in general? SO excited!! :crazy::) Here are...

Hi everybody. well im getting a Chinchilla after many years of not having one, in a few days. I bought hay cubes but im wondering how many hay cubes should I put in his cage? (its one chinchilla for now).

Hi! Well I've read on here that if you have an Alfalfa based pellet you should feed another hay like Timothy. But, what exactly is the problem if you feed Mazuri (a alfalfa based diet) with alfalfa hay? Why is it not recommended? Thank you!
