    Labs showed kidney issues...

    Hi everyone! It's been a while since I was on here. Some of you may remember that Nixi is my problem chin. The other three never have issues... always her. She started leaving her pellets all over the floor of the cage and dropped from 470g to 421g. She bounced back up to 429g yesterday, so at...

    Does anyone have any experience with heart tumors?

    My friend's sister has had two white chins. Both lived for 7-8 years, and both died of a heart tumor. I couldn't find any threads with a similar situation on here and was just wondering if anyone else had experience with that diagnosis. Since they both passed of the same complication, I'm...

    Photoshoot (Image Intensive)

    Hi Everyone! I haven't been around in quite some time, but I do lurk here and there. A friend of mine is a photographer and we did a photoshoot with the chins a few years ago. As you can see, they really hammed it up for the camera, especially Boji! I finally got around to editing the pics and...

    Seminal Fluid in Chest Hair

    One of my boys was furiously pulling at his chest area a little while ago, which consequently was a bit wet. [Insert heart attack here.] Upon further inspection, I found a white colored "mass" stuck in his fur. It has a hardened, rubbery consistency and it's really caked in there. I managed...

    Concerned About Weight Fluctuation (With X-Rays)

    Boji's weight is all over the map and I'm hoping to get some feedback from you guys as to whether I'm just being paranoid or not. I know I should've posted these x-rays much sooner. They were taken in June. I took them to my parents' for safe-keeping and completely forgot to grab them again...

    I went to PetSmart...

    <BEGIN RANT>I swore to myself that I would never go head to head with the managers at PetSmart over chinchilla care because I knew I'd walk away mad and wanting to save the world. I saw a chin sitting in a chewed, free-standing plastic wheel, with a thoroughly chewed igloo on Carefresh bedding...

    Chinchillas... a.k.a. Dragon Cats?

    This blog's author is on Google+ and appeared in my stream, so I figured I'd share. Since we're now in the year of the Dragon, the author (and the SPCA) are urging people not to buy chins on a whim. He even went a bit into how high maintenance they are. While I did notice a few fact...

    One smart chin!

    I just HAD to share this.... I had Nixi and Maia out for playtime last night and Nixi decided that my entertainment center tasted good. I clucked my "no" sound and she took off running, so I grabbed a piece of cholla, called her over, handed it to her and said "stick" three times before...

    Lost my new camera...

    Well, my love of sharing The Cute has officially bitten me in the a**. I went to Florida for work last week, was showing a woman on the plane pics of my chins, and woke this morning to find that my new Canon PowerShot S100 was missing. I reported it to Southwest and the shuttle company, posted...

    He didn't bite me!

    As some of you may know, I've been having an issue with my oldest furkid, Boji, for the past 8 months or so. He would do some combination of charging, chattering and chomping if I even thought about approaching his cage in the morning. Since he was a perfect love any other time of day, I...

    Boji, Buddha, Maia, Nixi and I...

    I just realized I haven't posted pics on here in months. Pixellated cell phone pictures and Photoshop... if you think they're dark now, you should've seen the originals! One day, when I stop spoiling the babies, I'll be able to afford the camera I want. :) Boji and Buddha I rarely catch...

    Look who I got to chin-sit...

    I know you all understand, but please pardon the poo! They posed a lot right before I cleaned. I wasn't going to gloat, but I changed my mind! :tease:

    New house for the boys...

    I got a new house for the boys from SimplyChintastic yesterday and absolutely love it! It was covered in poo this morning, so I'm confident that Boji and Buddha agree! My resources are limited, but I figured I'd see how good my cell phone video camera was. It's a bit dark, but not horrible. At...
