So today my mom and I went down to the local pet store (who doesn't have a good rep for how they treat their animals, it's all about the money). It was a last resort look for a decent priced water bottle for my girl, Willow. She currently has a Lixit plastic bottle and it leaks really bad no...

So I'm looking to get some new water bottles (my girl's bottle is a plastic Lixit and it leaks horribly) and my boy's have a Super Pet top fill (which is amazing, but they ate the rubber/plastic flip top thing so poop/fur/hay gets in the water and it's not healthy). I was thinking about getting...

I was looking through petco's website, trying to find some different things for my 3 chins. I was wondering if anyone has experience with any of these and if they're safe or not...

When I first got my 3 chins, I was feeding Manna Pro Pro, since that's what they were fed at the breeders, and that's what she recommended. I was new to chins, and went with her suggestions. However, the further I got through the bag, the more corn I found in it. So of course I panicked, and I...

So I'm not too sure which category this should go under, but figured since it has to do with chins eating, it could go here. I have a few questions about wood. My brother and sister-in-law have a nice grape arbor in their back yard. It's all natural, has never been sprayed/treated with...

This morning I went to check on my chins in the chin room and had a mini heart attack. I looked in the boys' cage and saw a few tiny specks of blood (although it seemed like a lot more when I first saw it because I was so panicked at the sight). I checked both boys over from tip if the nose to...

So yesterday while at the local Salvation Army, I found a really nice cage. It's on a stand with wheels, had a huge front door, and there's two doors on the top that open. It's technically a bird cage, you can tell because there's slide doors for the coop cups. I have already figured out a way...

So I have been looking for some 'treats' and toys I can buy for my chins. I wanted to see if anyone has experience with any of these, and if they are good for chins or if I should just leave them in the store. Willow Branch Ball by WARE from Petco...

Not too sure what topic this would go under, but considering hygiene and grooming go together, I'm guessing it can go here. I was wondering when a chinchilla should be groomed and how often. My 3 get a dust bath once a week (it was twice a week, but they were itching more and I noticed their...

Hay How horrible is the Kaytee Wafer Cut hay for chinchillas? The guaranteed analysis are pretty much identical to other brands. The reason I am asking is because my girl refuses to eat anything but that. I have tried several brands, different cuts, and giving it to her in different ways. (in a...

As everyone has probably heard about, Manna Pro has been having many issues with whole corn in the feed and in pieces in the pellets as well. Well I am constantly paranoid about my babies. When I give them fresh pellets, I am always double (even triple) checking the feed for corn. I spent an...

I need help with figuring out fur colors of my two chins. They're only babies yet, 10wks and 13wks. Both are males. I got them from RAF Chinchillas, and forgot to ask about what 'color' they're considered. It doesn't actually matter, I love them no matter what. But it's one of those things that...
