does anyone have an update on the chin?...it's been about 2 months since the last time someone posted, but the thread owner didn't post any updates.

He's a beaut!

This morning i noticed my chin, Wall-E had soft poops in his cage. Before posting I went through a good amount of poop related threads but I couldn't find an answer cause they all seemed to point to excessive amounts of treats being given or poor quality food. Wall-E is STRICTLY on a no treat...

i have the same exact cage. at the time i purchased the cage i didn't know it wasn't safe for chins to have wire flooring. i looked into fleece lining and it works great. all i did was put a doubled up layer of fleece down on the wire floor. i also kept the bottom plastic pan (which needs to be...

yep. agreed. i work for petsmart and would LOVE to quit because i don't believe in anything the company stands for. fortunately i don't work with the public much cause im there when the store is closed cause i do stocking. it's appalling really how petsmart will overlook the health and well...

i recently switched to fleece after using carefresh as well. i was skeptical at first because i didn't like the idea of my chin soiling fleece cause it seems messier than soiling bedding. until i read about potty training chins. it's been about a week since i switched and my chin has gotten the...

hello everybody. i decided to make this topic due to unfortunate events that struck this morning. my little guy gets 2 hours of play time every day. 1 hour in the morning, and 1 hour in the evening. i usually let Wall-E out in the bathroom but i felt he is getting bored of the same old same old...

i was born and raised in hawaii, i was there my whole life up until 10 months ago i relocated to oregon. chinchillas are welcome in hawaii and fortunately they do not need to under-go quarantine unlike dogs and cats. i'm not sure about the big island but on kauai there are no big-time pet stores...

welcome back!

:update: wall-e soiled the bedding in his litter pan this morning!

im not an expert either and i've never known a chin to not want a dust bath. its how i get wall-e to go back into his cage..the dust is like a chin magnet. i know there are some very resourceful people on this site like AZ Chins, Tunes, and basket_of_chinchillas, hopefully one of them will see...

here's my little guy asleep in his cube! :dance3:

A lot of different people have their preferences. I'll use the same detergent I use for my normal laundry but I wait until I have a full load of chin laundry before I do it so when i do a load, its all chin Laundry. I'll use a little less detergent so it isn't as strong and if I have a small...

Thank you everyone for your input. I'll try leaving his pan in there and maybe I can get my little guy to get the hint. Hopefully he does, if not i guess I'll just have to wash his fleece more often. And I guess like Becky said, a week isn't that long. Thank you all again.

hello again, i recently switched to fleece liners for Wall-E's cage. i bought a small pyrex glass pan filled with bedding for him to do his business on. when i first tried to introduce him to the pan i added soiled bedding hoping he would get the hint. it's been about a week with no success at...

this is very true and i am ashamed to admit that i work for petsmart. (i do morning stocking, i don't really work with customers) all they care about is the sales and making money. i am disgusted with the product i put on the shelfs that claim are "chinchilla safe" if i would get calls for...

Thank you! This was very helpful. :)

whoa, that is a weird one. how DO you get water out of the nozzle? :hmm:

hello everyone, thanks for taking a look. i have a question about hair rings in male chinchillas. i have a single male chin with no cage mate, nor cuddle buddy. it has caught my attention that he has been very well..."active" if you will (keep in mind he has no contact with another chinchilla) i...
