    Chinchilla car window decal

    I'm looking for a chinchilla car window decal. I keep finding real-life pictures on bumper stickers and things like that, but I want more of a simple outline of a chinchilla. I'm not sure if anybody on here would know, but has anybody seen them online or something? Thanks, -Lauren

    Average cost for check-up and neutering

    Hi there, I was wondering what the average cost would be to get a male chinchilla neutered (in Pennsylvania, if that matters). I am taking him in for a check-up to make sure he is healthy enough to go through the surgery, but I am just curious as to how much a routine check-up typically costs...

    Introducing two reluctant chins

    I have two chinchillas (Alice, 4-year old female and Zeus, 1-2 year old male). I adopted Alice from a breeder as a baby and I adopted Zeus from a family friend who couldn't keep him anymore. Originally, I thought that they would be able to co-exist and live happy lives together. I was wrong...

    Looking for a sturdy cage for a chewer

    I am in search of a good, high-quality, sturdy cage that is good for chinchillas who are notorious chewers (aka NO PLASTIC). My chinchilla has chewed two big holes in the bottom of the cage that he was given to me with (rescued him from my sister's friend). He has escaped four times so far, and...

    Help please!!!!!!

    Okay, so it is currently 3:30 in the morning. I just let my two chinchillas out for a free run after work (I work as a waitress, so my hours are a little out of wack right now). They seemed to be fine for the entirety of the play date, but I noticed my male acting a bit strangely, so I put them...

    Breeding for the first time

    Hello all! I am considering breeding my 16-month old sapphire chinchilla, Alice. I have been reading a ton of different websites regarding this, but I was just wondering if some of you more experienced breeders would be able to give me any helpful pieces of information / tips. Alice has never...

    Mosquitoes and Chins

    Can mosquitoes bite chinchillas? Or is their fur too dense for the mosquito to get through? We have one in our house... O_O Thanks!

    Question about overheating and ears!

    My chin likes to lay on her side while sleeping, and she does it pretty often, but recently I have moved to my college house and it is pretty hot up here. I have a 3 speed fan going in front of her cage, and it is on the highest setting, but it doesn't seem to help very much. She has been...

    Staring Chin

    Does anybody else notice this with their chins?? Okay, sometimes I will notice Alice sitting at the top level of her cage, perched on her hind legs with her little hands holding onto the cage bars...just staring into my hallway or at my bedroom wall. It's sort of creepy...I'll wave my hand in...

    I just gave Alice her first stuffed toy!

    LOOK LOOK LOOK!!! I won this stuffed banana at Kennywood's glorious duck pond a few days ago and decided to give it to baby Alice as a toy. She absolutely LOVES it!! I can't get over the cuteness that I am experiencing right now, so I decided to share this with you folks. :hilarious...

    Alice stole a french fry!

    I was setting up the living room for her free run, and had to block off the dvd player area, so I figured she would be okay for the TWO SECONDS that it took to set it up...but low and behold, I turned around to see her stealing a french fry from my plate...which was on top of the coffee table...

    My chinchilla has made a terribly loud noise!!

    I have a 4 1/2 month old chinchilla kit. She is very healthy and well-cared for, but about fifteen minutes ago something strange happened. She made the terrible loud squeal that some other chinchilla sites have mentioned...although it is apparently a rare noise to hear. She was playing in her...

    Forchinate Chins Wheel?

    I have been looking online for a wheel to use in my chin's cage, and have recently came across the forchinate chins website. The website owner hand-makes her own chinchilla wheels, and they have a very reasonable price tag. Have any of you purchased a wheel from forchinate chins, and if so can...

    Hello everyone! I have a question regarding a certain product that I have seen online somewhere. I cannot locate it anymore, and was wondering whether or not any of you know of a similar product that I can use. My chinchilla continually kicks her bedding out of her cage, causing a huge mess on...

    Chins and alarm clocks?

    Hello! My chinchilla will be living in my bedroom with me once I pick her up (in 2 weeks!!), and I just have a question regarding my alarm clock in the morning. I understand that chins get startled quite easily, and I definitely do not want to scare her every time my alarm clock goes off in the...
