    Where do your chins like to pee?

    I have a female chin who always pees on her shelves. I removed the one she was peeing on and she went to a different one. I ended up having to take most of the selves out and making her some that have tile on them. She still pees but its easier to clean. She also enjoys peeing on top of her...

    Critter nation vs Ferret nation

    For chins, I personally prefer the FN. I have one CN and Four FN's. With the CN I had to put the water bottle inside the cage as the nozzle was too big to fit through the bars, they are very close together and I didn't want to buy a new bottle. Luckily its a glass lixit bottle and they cant chew...

    Timothy Seed Heads - Are They Treats?

    My chins love those too. Very rarely do my chins get real treats. Wood, pumice and hay heads are pretty much it, but they think its great. I don't think there should be any limit on them, as they are included in the hay and your chin is going to eat them anyway.

    You Know You're A Chinchilla Owner When...

    When someone calls and you don't answer, next time you talk to them they just assume you were in the chin room- and are usually right.

    Argh! Craigslist people!!

    She must have changed it. People have been posting things telling her that there is no such thing as a Lilac chin and she posts lots of vulgar things back saying that she got them from a reputable breeder blah blah blah. She always has chins for sale as well though. If it comes up again Ill try...

    Argh! Craigslist people!!

    This one has been irritating me for a few hours. This lady always has "chins to rehome." Now she suddenly has her own mutation, Lilac. http://desmoines.craigslist.org/pet/2579484917.html

    3 Chinchillas in one dustbox...

    I like to use a big plastic jar that I got from my church's preschool, It came with animal crackers in it and I think they said they got it at Walmart or Sam's. Three of my girls can fit in it at the same time. It is rectangular so there is a flat surface and they dont throw as much dust out as...

    Downside to a female?

    The only real downside to females is that they spray... and boy do they have DEADLY aim. If you tick off your female be prepared, if you tick off your male he gets a wet foot. Hair ring checks are not nearly as bad as people think. Once you do it a few times you get way better at it. Most of...

    Where the Chin Sleeps

    I wouldnt worry. They usually like to be up as high as possible. Some chins will hide while others would rather be out in the open.

    Cage floor help

    I would personally not use the wire bottom. I feel like fleece is easier to clean in the sense that you just fold it up and take it out side to shake then wash. With the tile you have to wipe it clean all the time. I have both and perfer the fleece. Also if the tile is not cemented in poos and...

    Kinda a stupid question...

    My chins room is dark most of the time, they seem to have no problem. Personally I think they rely more on their whiskers than they do their eyes sometimes.

    My First Pair of Chins!

    They look like the change has been really hard on them ;) lol, the cage looks awesome. I wish more people would do research before they got the animal.

    Pellets gone bad?

    Ive heard some people freeze what they cant use in a few months, I never have that problem so I cant speak from experience, but would that be an acceptable option for some people?

    Nutrena Naturewise

    Thank you Laurie and Tunes, that is exactly what I wanted to know.

    Nutrena Naturewise

    Laurie do you feed Alfalfa in addition, or another loose hay? Is alfalfa a "must" when using this product because it isnt alfalfa based as other feeds are.

    Nutrena Naturewise

    I know this is not an alfalfa based pellet, so if you're feeding this should you be giving alfalfa in the form of loose or cubed hay? I've seen this at my feed store and it is quite almost equal with PRCS which I currently feed. My friend feeds this but only offers Orchard grass and timothy hay...

    Age limit for Ryerson's supplement?

    I give a quarter a teaspoon twice a week(if I remember). I just use it as a treat. They so funny they have learned where their places are to get their scoop.
