I noticed today that my new girl Chinchi has not pooped all day. She has been eating and drinking as far as I can tell. She is active and alert and seems to have no other symptoms. I read though a bunch of old posts here and I am guessing that the stress from moving to our home has caused some...

We picked up Chinchi's new cage on Friday and got her all moved in. She has the same amount of space, but the new cage is much more sturdy and will allow me to add more wooden shelves to replace the metal ones. She is starting to come out of her shell a bit, she was doing a lot of exploring...

Well, I've officially had Chinchi for 24 hours now and I am already spoiling her! I was given her cage and all of her supplies when I adopted her. While her cage is big enough, it is very flimsy. It is this cage...

A couple of weeks ago, I responded to an ad on Craigslist for a chin that needed to be rehomed due to her owner moving out of state and starting a new job. After a lengthy interview process, I got the call last night that I will be getting her! The chin is currently with the owner's mom and I...

I have been going back and forth about adding a second chin to our family for a while now. I almost pulled the trigger a couple of times, but it just didn't feel like the right thing to do at the time. I figured when the time and situation was right, I would go for it. On Wednesday, I saw a...

Luna loves her rosebuds so much that she climbs the wall of her cage to get them! I call this her "SpiderChin" move!

http://petoftheday.com My little Luna is today's pet of the day! Perfect timing since tomorrow marks one year since she was surrendered to the SPCA. She was described as being about a year old, so the shelter listed her birthdate as Dec 20, 2011. Tomorrow we will celebrate her 2nd birthday!

I just bought a used CN 162 double unit cage from Craigslist for $100! It is in excellent condition, looks brand new except for a few nibbles on the pans. All I had to do was wipe it down because it was a little dusty. Luna is exploring her new huge home!!

I'm very scared right now. Luna has been very lethargic for the past 48 hours. In the last 24 hours she has not eaten or had anything to drink. She is not drooling and was chewing on sticks so I don't suspect tooth problems. No diarrhea. Her belly is soft, not hard or bloated as if there was a...

I got a manzanita perch for Luna today, her first time having this kind of wood (at least since I've had her). After I got it attached to her cage, she was cracking me up with her indecision as to what she should do with it...chew it or sit on it! She would chew it furiously for 30 seconds, and...

Here are a few pics of my girl Luna. After reading some posts, I realize that she is a very petite girl...only 425 grams at over 1 year old. The vet gave her a thorough check up and she got a clean bill of health. She eats her hay and pellets (and the occasional treat), drinks and poops like a...

Hi everyone! I am the proud owner of an approximately 1 year old female mosaic chin. I have always loved chinchillas, but never thought I would actually own one (due to several factors). About 2 months ago I was browsing the local SPCA's listing of adoptable "other" animals and stopped in my...
