Thanks so much! that is very helpful

Hi! I just moved into a new apartment and my landlord heavily stressed that any damage to the house by my chin would be charged to me. He was apprehensive about allowing me to have the chin at all so I take things very seriously and try to be careful. For playtime I am looking for a playpen...

I forgot to mention that today the poops aren't diarrhea and are small and hard, we have a emergency vet visit scheduled tonight

My chinchilla Dexter is about 3 and two days ago I noticed he wasn't eating very much hay and then last night he started having diarrhea. I took his pellets last night to try to get him to eat the hay and it seems he ate about half of what he normally does overnight but his poops appear to have...

Thanks! I will order some herbs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The ledges seem to be plastic which is not good because they will be chewed. you could probably get wood ledges to attach to it. I don't really know about the appropriate sizes.

Are "Oxbow Natural Science" vitamins a good idea? I have similar hay treats and was thinking if the vitamins were really beneficial I would just get those instead. (I use oxbow pellets and hay if thats relevant) Should I start giving herbal supplements? I saw a packaged mix on the forever...

I have a male chinchilla that I've had about a year and a half. My sister wants a pet and we were considering getting my Dexter a little buddy. I am concerned though that he would not bond with the new chin. He sometimes seems lonely but he also can be a bit of a brat. I do not want to get...

You regularly find hay in your clothes (for me it's always my pants)

Thanks! I will try some of these.

My chinchilla Dexter is a fur chewer, I have read on ways to help him not chew as much. I heard you can give them things to do so they're not bored. I tried giving him more things to chew but it hasn't helped much. I was thinking of trying to train him to do tricks, I have heard of this working...

I got one yesterday and by this afternoon dexter had already chewed halfway through it. I am not sure if it is related but today I noticed a few poops that were greenish and was wondering if this happened to anyone else?

Thank you! I have been considering ledges but was not sure it it was a good idea because of the size

1. Okay, so right now I have a really crappy cage and hope to find a better one. I live in a kinda small apartment, and don't have much money to spend. I have heard ferret and critter nation are good but I don't know what would be the best choice. 2. what does everyone use to clean the cages...

Thanks everyone! I think as long as his skin stays nice I will do the nightly dust bath because he only has it for about 15 minutes a day out of the cage, in the winter I will probably do every other day

Well we do have ac and for a long time we had it on 24/7 but the bill was crazy expensive. It got pretty cool for about a week so we had the windows open and he was just fine. I went on a two day trip where a family friend stopped by to feed him and she called not knowing what to do because it...

Thanks, I have never heard of the collapsable cages. I think I will try that

Also here's some pictures

Hello everyone! I'm kinda new to the forum and decided I should probably do one of these. I recently got my first chin, Dexter! So any secret tricks would be appreciated if shared😉. I already fell in love with the little guy😍. I'd like to learn about you guys too so please comment stuff. Also I...

So I have one chin (dexter) and would like to know about temporary housing. On the weekends I have to go to my grandmas house, usually i just stock up on dexters food and have someone drive me home each day to check up on him. But that gets very annoying for them and I was thinking of ways to...
