Finally starting a thread for my boys so I can share pics without creating a new thread for each set. Let's see, we've been through Christmas up North and then home to get a FN and Sonic had a birthday. I'm way behind! So here's the Vacation Digs (thanks to Forchinate Chins for the shelves...

It's been a while since I brought home my boys. Sonic is out of quarentine and has been face to face (in separate carriers) with Miesha. Ah, no thanks. And I've been planning and scheming. Each level will be 20"D x 31"L x 19"H inside. The openings will be covered with those pesky grid and...

My house just became a two chin home but I couldn't resist this big boy! His name is Sonic, he's a black velvet and he's 5 as of last March. He loves sticks, hay and scritches. He's not shy. He runs right to the door to get those scritches and leans into my hand. He's currently observing...

Hi everyone! I would like you to meet Miesha, my new little chin boy. I was told his birthday is in Dec and he's 6 this year. He's a bit small, but he's a bundle of energy and character. I look forward to discovering what he's like and sharing him with you all. Special thanks to Barb for...

Thank you, everyone. My heart hurts so much right now, but your support helps. Is it selfish to want another chin right now? I just want to hug one so badly. But I really don't think any other chin could possibly fill the void Chipper has left behind. I'm surprised by the devestation this...

I just got back from my vet. Chipper stopped peeing about 24 hours ago and I took him in this morning. He showed no signs that he was having trouble until this morning when he sat in the back of his cage and squeaked quietly like a mouse. I've never heard that sound from him before. Other...

I've been having a love/hate relationship with that plastic dustbath house from the pet store since I got my little fuzzball. It came with him. You know the one. It's plastic and it looks like a house. We all have one if we're not using bowls. Well, I finally found a replacement. It's an...

My folks took down their dogwoods, which I'm sure were not treated. I'm in the process of cleaning and baking. My question in preparing them is this. It's coming into spring and these trees were budding. Do I remove the buds or can they be left on for the chin to enjoy? Hubby came home...

I've read the posts about chinchilla dust and taken all the advice to heart but had to see this to believe it. I was using the Kaytee unscented dust and it seemed to be doing the job. It was what was available, stores being what they are. This weekend on a trip to pick up my bird pellets I...

I've seen the thread where we moan about the mess our chins leave us and I have a thought. I just went thru a matt pulling experience with Chipper. He has one spot he doesn't clean very well so I give him a hand when I notice it's formed again. I got a couple good puffs out of his fur and...

Hi all! I'm Debbie and I have to finally admit I am owned by a chinchilla. ;) I'm a long time bird person that has recently become a chinchilla person. Chipper came to me about a year ago and he's well entrenched in my life at this point. A co-worker had this friend who got Chip for their 4...
