Have a chin with soft poop. Have read all the threads here. She is eating and drinking and active. I think it is from treats. I have a probiotic that I will give and will take pellets out. She always refuses to eat shreddies. So could not try that. I read about the Pet Pectillin here. If I...

Just some updated pictures of my two new babies Faith the beige and Serena the dark tan from CTChins, Angel the white mosaic NJ rehome making her funny Buddha face, Destiny looking like her beautiful ebony self, and my first girl white mosaic Lenora begging to get out of cage.

A lovely lady rang my bell on Sunday and delivered two baby chinchillas. Way better than any take-out food that I have had delivered. Brenda from CTChins drove more than three hours each way to deliver two of her beautiful babies to me in NY. Brenda has honored me with her tiny beige orphan...

Hi Everyone, I have been waiting to share good news. Brenda (CTChins) and I have arranged for her to transport two baby chins to me this coming Sunday. I will be the honored Mom to her special orphan baby who will be named Faith and a second baby to be named Serena. I am just bursting with...

My two 6 year old female rehomes have each sprayed me as they and I got to know each other. My younger female chin has sprayed me when I was reaching for her in her cage. All on the hands. Not too bad. However, last night I got caught in the line of fire between my younger chin who was in her...

I ran for the camera when I saw this. :clap1:

My chins are in a bedroom that has become a chin room. The ac is on for them and I lower the venetian blinds when the sun swings to that window. The room is light but not too bright. The sun does not shine right on the cages at all. The chins are in the natural light that comes in the window...

Well I have been sleeping in the livingroom so I can leave the ac on in the bedroom for the chins. The ac in my living room does not blow right on me like in the bedroom. I am very comfortable and sleep out there like a log. All of a sudden I realized that I did not need the bed in the bedroom...

My young chin, Lenora, works her mouth while she sleeps. I am worried she is grinding her teeth though I don't notice any tooth problems. Do chins work their mouths while they sleep? She eats, chews etc. all normally. My other new 6 year old rehomes are a bonded female pair. They get along...

Here are pictures of my NJ Rehomes having their first play time with me. Also I installed two Chin Spins and new shelves in the cage they came in. They have a new house and a new tube and bridges too. Awaiting October when I can put them into their own FN142. Sigh.

I give dried papaya, goji berries, dried blue berries and rose hips as treats. Also oats, shreddies, cheerios. All in moderation, of course. Of all the treats the chins seem to enjoy the goji berries the most. Are the goji berries I see in the health food store good for chins as long as they...

My first young chin has a Flying Saucer in her FN cage. My new 6 year old rehomes just got 2 Chin Spins installed in their Ferret Mansion Cage (not from Quality cage, From Midwest). I noticed two things: First off the Chin Spins are way more quiet than the Flying Saucer. I do need to brace...

So far each of my new 6 year old females has sprayed me with urin. Once I thought it was due to fear. With the other I had scent on my hand from another chin who is new to them. Is my interpretation correct? It is very specific behavior...at least it comes out warm. lol

I admit my mistake to help others. LOL I took out the horrible wire wheels from my NJ Rehome Girls' cage. I ordered two 15 inch Chin Spins. I want the best for my new girls. I don't even want them to have to take turns. Hence two wheels. I figure I can install one on each side of the cage at...

Just a nice picture of my new girls. Angel the white on the left, Destiny the ebony on the right.

I feed my chins in heavy ceramic food dishes. Sometimes bedding and/or poo gets in the dishes. I have purchased those dishes with the curved over part and that keeps almost all of the bedding out. I was wondering if it is ok to use metal gravity feeders for chinchillas? Would it be safe to load...

Hi everyone. I hope you can all give me some advice. I am planning on giving my two new 6 year old rehomes their first playtime next weekend. They are beginning to know me and are asking to come out of their cage. I cannot use the bathroom. I play with my baby chin in a penned in area in the...

Just thought that I would post an update on our little story. My two 6 year old NJ Rehome Girls have been with me for two weeks. They are doing very well in every way. I am thrilled with their progress. They are smart, curious and brave. So far they have coped with a cold food switch from Vita...

I just got two rehome girls. They came with a Ferret Mansion cage. I will be modifying the cage gradually with new shelves and houses. Right now they are running in two metal mesh wheels. Poor girls have to arch their backs to run. I am thinking of getting a Chin Spin for them as I am...

Hi Everyone, My two 6 year old NJ Rehome girls are doing very well. Running, drinking, dusting, exploring new toys, taking vit C tabs from my hand etc. The only problem when I got them was they were on bad food and their poops were microscopic. I cold switched them to Oxbow with plenty of hay...
