Does anyone know any stores in Syracuse NY (within a 30 mile radius or so) that carry the purina rabbit chow show pellets? I've called around 5 stores that I can think of, and they don't carry it, or seem to want to order it. My chins have done great on that for years, and now that I've moved I...

I dont know if anyone was watching Jeopardy last night, but one of the contestants had a really funny answer about a chinchilla. Just a warning, this should be given a PG13 rating or something. lol Jeopardy. Boy was that guy embarrased. Keep in mind that the beginning of the answer should be...

To make a long story short, I've had my two females bonded since september (about 4 months now). I thought the introduction went well and there really havent been any fights (that I have seen) between the two. My newer chin Cookie seems to be very dominant even though she is younger than her...

Hello all! After a year or so of learning from this site, I finally have gotten my chin cage to what I think are "acceptable" levels and would love to hear some constructive criticism from you all. I'm looking for any chin safety hazards, better arrangement of items, or any comments really...

I was reading the FAQ on chinchilla pain and noticed the section about ear flicking. While I have never seen my chin Kiwi flick her ears while eating hay or pellets, she seems to do this almost every time I give her a treat. (rosehip, shreddie, or oats) I thought originally that it meant that...

So I'm currently trying to intro my two female chins Kiwi and Cookie using the cage within a cage method. I'm need to doublecheck with you all that i've done everything I can to give it the best chance. Here's what I've done: Cleaned out the top half of a FN to be neutral. (scrubbed like mad)...

As I was giving some hay to my chinnies last night, I noticed that Oxbow is now putting a small plastic wrapped coupon inside their "large" bag of timothy hay. It fell onto the cage floor and my chin quickly picked it up and hid with it in a corner. I didn't notice it fall from the wad of hay...

Sounds rather odd..."chin tongue..." Is it a chin, or is it a tongue? ;) Anyways, I've been trying to get a picture of a chin sticking his/her tongue out for as long as I've been a Chin-mom. Does anyone have a picture of the elusive tongue? Please post for all to enjoy if you do! Chilla...

I know most of you have seen the "Chinchilli Day" commercial, but as I was browsing youtube today, I found this old H&R block commercial. I tried searching the forum to see if anyone had already posted this one, but I didnt see anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex34RU-tZpU I love the...

Little bit of a story... So my friend gave me a flashlight that has a UV setting on it. I was playing around with it the other day, noticing how lint and other objects light up under the UV. Well I took the light into the chins' room and noticed all kinds of strange things. First on my list...

With the recent addition of my 4 month old baby, I have noticed that there is a difference in the texture of baby fur vs adult fur. I dont really know how do describe it, other than thickness perhaps? As a baby I'd expect her to have short-ish fur, proportionate to her size. (otherwise she'd...

C is for Cookie! Its also for Chinnie! lol Here's a pic of my new baby chin Cookie! Such a tiny little monster compared to my other fuzz-butt Kiwi. (I hope the pics arent too huge, I dont know how to resize things in Photobucket yet) Dont mind the cage, its just temporary while I was...

Kiwi and I just wanted to wish all of you a Merry Chinnie Kissmas! (with a big reindeer smooch!) Best wishes in the new year! SpaceChinnie

Hi all! I just joined your wonderful chinnie forum and have already learned so much from it. Thank you all for being so knowledgeable! I have recently aquired/rescued a mosaic from a friend that loved her, but did not have the time for her anymore. (I kinda got dumped on) I named her Spooky...
