    Aspen Shavings Quality?

    Unfortunately my Petsmart has switched to this new brand as well. The pine is absolutely horrible. I can go through a bag probably 2-4x as fast as I used to be able to with the other brand. Does anyone know any good online sites to buy bedding from for cheap? Because not looking too good where...

    I have no problem with her, I am not trashing her. I came onto the forums to ask if anyone else knew any other way to contact her other than email so I could find out what was going on. I was not in particular blaming her for not getting the package I just wanted some communication. I would...

    Package arrived today.. Looks as though it got sent back to her and she had to resend. Understandable but still wish there had been some communication. Oh well the right stuff arrived so I guess I wont whine. Haha.

    When I first ordered after I had already paid I started to notice the sketchiness. It took an email to her and then a week to finally get a response that she even got the money, and then an excuse about her car springing some sort of leak but she "thinks" she got it shipped. Thank you guys for...

    Does anyone know the owner of forchinatechins.com?? I am just curious if anyone has another method other than email to get in touch with her. I ordered some things from her at the beginning of December and she told me that the package shipped out on the 4th. I have not received anything and I...

    Pink-Eyed Seizures?

    My chin does that.. I think it's when he gets excited and nervous.. If I'm just sitting next to his cage looking at him, he'll start twitching his head around, then shoot across the cage and freak out.. you sure he/she just isn't "popcorning"

    Weighing Chinchillas

    Anyone have any links to a good scale? I bought one from Wal Mart and it's made horribly.. its like a flat piece of glass that sits on like a thing the size of a qaurter, so a squirming chin does not work too well on a scale like that..

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    How much Albon per water mix do you recommend? And should I give Life Line just once a day?

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    Well I've decided to do the Albon treatment and trying to see if he'll eat it if it is sprinkled on the molasses on a shreddie.. but if not, I have a syringe I can use.. Also I am going to do Life Line as well.. I will keep you guys updated, and if his weight starts dropping tremendously, he...

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    I live in central MS, I've asked several people about vets, and I know of one that is an hour and a half away. Right now financially and time wise due to nursing school, I honestly just can not go to a vet that is an hour and a half away.. So I am honestly trying to do as much as I can in order...

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    I don't have much of a vet to work with here, so I am kind of working on my own.. I ordered PB8 Acidophilus: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002BB6W8/ref=oss_T15_product last night and also some Sulfadimethoxine aka "ALBON", some Life line, and some char shreads last night from Dawnna.. What...

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    Well.. Sounds like the Albon, char shreads, and acidiphilous are going to come in handy when I get them then... Can anyone give me a course of treatment or even help explain what causes it.. The vet was absolutely no help at all in telling me what I should do to get rid of it... Sorry to keep...

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    Called the vet.. Said it'd cost bout $10.50 to run a parasite check.. if he does find Giardia.. What do I do, specifically ask that he prescribe or give me the meds he needs.. There was some arguing in the giardia thread, so what exactly is the best treatment?

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    Yeah.. Well it's gonna be a little while, it's daytime now and he isn't exactly pooping (He's passed out). Hahah. There was a lot of poops in there but they weren't fresh enough to do anything with, guess I'll have to go in there and check every once in a while to see if he's accumulated any.

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    Well the Nutriphase I was feeding him was the standard.. the kind without all the extra crap.. I knew not to do that, haha. The thing is, the few days before yesterday it was sort of bad, then yesterday it was pretty bad, but then today it is just not bad at all.. (his poops that is) I am just...

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    Question though, should I wait and try to treat it myself before the vet venture.. or do you think I should just go ahead and get it over with and take his poop to the vet?

    Poop/hay/food change questions.

    Just went and felt him.. his backbone does sort of poke out a bit... he still eats the same amount he always has though, I monitor that... I truly wonder if it is oxbow food... I finally went 100 percent oxbow last night, and I am noticing he will take a small bite of the food and then throw it...
