Thank you! I never saw it on any of the "Not safe wood" lists so I thought I'd ask. It should be added!

I looked everywhere and can't find if catalpa (sometimes called Catawba) wood is safe. Anyone know? Thanks! :)

So a while back I tried introducing my chins and wasn't very successful. Since then, I had kind of given up.. I'd put them in the bathroom together and watch for how they reacted towards each other. I picked a neutral ground, but they weren't very nice. I don't know if I'm just overreacting or...

It's funny, I never realized how much more fun Charlee would have if I added a few things to jump on, crawl under, tunnel through, or jump over to her play time. But right now I'm watching her run around like a crazy woman just having a blast! She keeps wanting to jump out of her playpen though...

Thanks! I'll try that!(:

This is really gross, but almost everyday my chins pee in their food bowl :vomit: and I have to give them new food. Has anybody's ever done this before? And how do I stop it!? Thanks!

Okay, thank's everybody! The hair will grow back, right?

It's not really dry, just the hair's gone..

A month or so ago I noticed some hair loss on my baby's tail, and all of a sudden it has gonna worse!? Anybody know why this is happening? Thanks!

"I have raised Chinchillas for 20 yrs." Black chinchilla? Cream chinchilla? Leash?? Ya, not dying to buy a chin from this "breeder" any time soon......

So whenever I have Charlee out for playtime she always makes this weird sound and I don't quite know what it is... I can't tell if its coming from her mouth or nose.. If it's coming from her mouth it sounds like a crunch of a seed or nut or something. But she's not eating anything.. and I don't...

Sounds to me like she needed a babysitter for her chin while she moved... I'm sorry that happened to you! And like Caiti, I don't know what I would have done.. that would be really hard. I've only had one of my chinchillas for a month now and I know I wouldn't be able to give her back now. I've...

I adopted one who's 7 and I think she adapted better than my 1 1/2 year old. I really think it just depends on the chin and it's surroundings and background(:

Oh my gosh! The poor thing looked miserable!! :( I feel so bad for it and wish we could do something about it! You could just see in its eyes it was crying for help!

Okay, I definitely won't.

Okay, Thanks.

Should I bring my chinchilla with me when I go to meet this chin to see if they get along or would that be a bad idea?

Thank you both! Is it likely that they will like each other or not like each other?? Does one happen more than the other? I don't want two chins that hate each other. But my first one is very friendly and I'm pretty sure she'll be okay with a new friend.

So, it is planned that Monday I will be getting a new buddy for my first Chinchilla. I've heard that for the first 30 days you should have them in separate cages next to each other so they become friends but without direct contact just in case. Is there anything else I need to know before I...

Thank you! I do have a cage and have researched a lot about it!
