Could be the flavor of the meds if the vet/pharm put some in there. My chins got chicken flavored meds the first time they needed 'em (to say that vet didn't really know what they were doing is a minor understatement. Chicken flavor for vegetarian animals DOH!:duh:) and they didn't care for it...

Haha, was that little guy hanging out in your backyard, Susan?? Too funny. In this day and age its amazing that people can't simply google image "chinchilla" and see what one actually looks like.

Super cute little girlie! That first pic she looks like she's giggling. Love it.

None of my chins have wheels or saucers in their cages, but they have access to a wheel during their supervised playtime.

Too funny, is this a literal translation of chin ownership or what? Chin: "Can I have your money?" Owner: "Yes, you can." Chin: "All of it?" Owner: "Absolutely, just don't eat it!" Talking chin dreams are funny. I want to hear what my chins would say and what their voices would be like..

Susan at AZChins also sells it. http://chinstore.azchins.com/cc.htm

Honestly.... I would wait for better cages or buy new. I hand scrubbed a filthy cage that WASN'T rusted and was sorry I paid as much as I did. Rust = metal deterioration = possible safety issues with attaching ledges, tubes, etc. Unless these things are $25 and you're really really really...

Yay! Ernie is such a handsome boy!! Cute cage, even if it is PINK (my favorite color, but the BF would have a fit if I decked out my 5 boys in pink)

I had a terrible dream a few weeks ago. I dreamt that there was a scorpion in my room, and it climbed into an open backpack next to me. Then Ziggy was running around the room and hopped into the bag too.. Before I could get to it, I hear a terrible chinny screech and pull Ziggy out, he had a...

I use a version of this as well. I have these 8 x 8 Rubbermaid ones that I got on clearance at WalMart a few years ago. I've been kicking myself the last couple years because they don't make them anymore. I made custom fleece covers for them, and the chins have not tried to eat them. I'm willing...

Super cute! :heart:

It looks to me like it may have gotten longer in a couple places. I have a furchewer, it takes forever when he occasionally stops chewing for it to grow back in. Good luck.

It makes me think they were renting it out for husbandry/mating without actually saying so? I didn't read the ad, it was already flagged for removal. What morons. LIke Gorilla said, wonder what happens when its rented to someone without a single clue and kills the poor thing? :(

That's a great find for $50!

People use the Pyrex dishes for litter pans.. No "right" size to recommend, just keep in mind, the smaller the pan, the more often it will have to be changed/cleaned. Can't answer the question about the hardware cloth, sorry, all my boys were full grown when I got them except Pirate, who was...

Great name! LOVE Bruce Cambell movies. Does your little Bruce say "Gimme some sugar baby!" and then whisker kiss? :laughitup: He's adorable.

Don't beat yourself up on that one. When I was having an issue with one of my chins, I called several E-vets offices and specifically asked if they had experience, all of them said no. All of them were willing to take my money and potentially kill my chin with inexperience, tho.

I think my biggest mistake so far was failing to recognize fighting when it was happening. Nothing major happened, other than having to separate them permanently, thank goodness!

Yep, my chins will take a willow ball into their hidey-house in the playpen and demolish it in a few minutes, leaving behind a large twig nest looking pile when we pick up the house :D

Congrats! Sounds like the petstore not giving your chin appropriate things to nibble on is probably what caused the fur chewing. And I imagine the stress of being poked at and surrounded by other animals and a non-stop flow of people added to your chinnies stress level. Not all chewing will be...
