    Boston rehoming

    I have a male and female chin, one 8 and one 9. I’m the only owner they’ve ever had, and they are both healthy. They obviously are in different cages and would come with all the supplies they need. Looking for a forever home for them.

    Gluten in chinchilla food making me ill

    I have Celiacs Disease and recently discovered that I am reacting to all the food dust in the air from the pellets I feed my chins. I’ve fed them the same brand for years (Nutrina) and they do well on it. They also get Timothy Hay and occasional oats or rosebuds. I’m going to stop with the oats...

    Chin was trapped under ceramic bowl overnight

    When I was giving out treats to my chins a few hours ago, I realized one of my chins didn't come running and as I looked around her cage I couldn't find her at all. Then my heart sank when I noticed that the very large heavy ceramic bowl I keep on the floor of her cage was turned over....I...

    Stroke or Seizure? Something happened

    Today when Sadie had playtime, she was playing like usual and then suddenly I witnessed just her left ear fold back. Then I watched as the left side of her body stopped working, and then it progressed to her entire body, like all of her muscles just collapsed. She was laying on her belly and...

    I'm temporarily unable to live with/care for my chinchillas

    Long story short, a violent crime occurred at my apartment less than two weeks ago and I can no longer live at that address. As of yesterday I signed the lease for a new apartment in the Boston area, but I can't move in until the 31st. I've been staying at a hotel for now and will be moving in...

    Trade your FN plastic pans (without cut-outs) for my 3" deep metal bass pans?

    Hi I'm looking for anyone looking to get rid of their plastic pans that come with the FN? I bought metal pans with 3" sides back when I used shavings, but now that I use fleece I find them really annoying to wrap the fleece around every time I am cleaning. I live near Boston in case there's...

    How to move FN cages? To disassemble or not?

    Just wondering if anyone has had experience moving FN cages. Is the best idea to just lay it on it's side and hopefully fit it in the back of a car, or to disassemble it? To disassemble just the top half? All you need is a screwdriver, right? I put mine together so long ago (and with such...

    Made new toys/shelves with hay holders!

    Spoiled my chinnies pretty badly tonight. Had fun making all of these! Of course now I can't sleep because they are all gnawing away... :-) 2nd pic is of Mama with a shelf hay holder, 4th pic is of a hanging hay shelf, and 5th pic is of a toy with a circular middle section to stuff hay in!

    Has anyone ever purchased one of these? Dodola "AC" house

    I came across this add on craigslist and was wondering if anyone on here has heard of these. Are they safe? Will I be able to clean them if they've been used previously so that my chins are safe? Only $20 each and the person lives in the same town as me, so not bad...

    DIY air conditioner

    Just stumbled upon this and thought of my fellow chins-n-hedgies friends. This looks simple enough, and pretty cool that it's portable! http://www.geekfill.com/2012/07/18/diy-cooler-air-conditioner/

    how to keep a minor wound clean?

    One of my girls has a small bite wound in between her toes. I washed it with saline solution and put some ointment on it, but now that she's back in her cage I feel like it's not going to stay very clean. I put in fresh fleece but there is already hay everywhere. Should I take out the loose hay...

    ideas for covering wires?

    So I recently switched to a portable AC unit in the chin room, and the wire is fairly close to the ground, and very thick. I'm trying to decide if I should buy one of those wire covers they sell online for pets or if that is a waste of money...

    Sign this petition to save chinchillas!

    I was browsing petitions on Change.org and stumbled across this. Figured I'd share it here in case anyone else wanted to sign to help stop chinchilla fur farming. You have to make an account with them first, but it's free and fast...

    Anyone have any experience with AAT or therapy with animals in general? I am just finishing my bachelor's in psychology and am thinking of branching out to either music therapy or animal therapy, but I am really having trouble finding out about what my next step would be if I want to pursue...

    where to find the mill date?

    These feels like a dumb question, but I buy Nutrena Naturewise rabbit pellets and the past few bags I purchased I couldn't find a mill date anywhere on the bag. I asked the shop owner and she couldn't find it either. Anyone else have this problem? Or were we both blind? I'm planning on picking...
