I have access to a bunch of rose wood but am unsure if it is safe. I dont see it on my safe wood list, but I figure they can get hips and buds so the wood would be safe...right? However I learned early on not to make any assumptions when it comes to chins. Any input would be greatly appreciated...

I was giving one of my girls because she has loose poos and I must have missed the trash can with a piece of the capsule after I poured the powder out. The room is closed off from everything else so they can run on the floor and in the "boxes" I have set up for them when I looked down and saw...

Has anyone experienced crusty eyes? I just noticed it with one of my females in the last week. It reminds me of what I call "sleep" in your eyes. Could it be the start of a URI? They look like little white crustys I guess. ETA: she is eating fine, pooping fine, hasnt lost weight(actually gained...

Hi, I just wondered over from the chin side, but I just got an email from a guy who has a hedgehog and wants to trade it for a chinchilla. I personally dont take hedgies, and am very wary of doing a so called "trade." I dont plan to trade with him, but I wanted to give him either a name or a...

Does anyone know of a video showing how to remove a hair ring? Im trying to explain it to someone who doesnt have chins, but is thinking of getting some. She doesnt live by me so I cant show her myself. If not I may end up making a video....can that get you banned on youtube?

I have a blind chin, well technically two who are blind, but one of them has recently started fur chewing. I have such a hard time getting her to come out for play time, she is scared to leave my lap, or sill sit unter my stool while the others play. I am so worried about her. She is housed with...

OK all you breeders and people who know what you're doing I have a few questions, although I'm not really a new owner I put it here anyway. Firstly, for those of you who use the Lixit Glass bottle, which one do you use? There are two different options of style and I wasnt sure if one worked...

Is Ash wood safe for chins? I saw it on a list online, but wanted to ask. I have several ash trees around me that would be great for them if it is safe. Any experienced owners know? It seems to be on some lists but not on others. Thanks

Since the thread in classifieds was shut down, rightfully so, I am going to start a thread to tell anyone who is intrested in the chins how they are doing. They all seem very handleable. I worked on combing the female and got about half a small ziploc bag of mats off. She did really well even...

I know that they're not good for chins, but I have them from way back when and I wanted to know if any animal could use them. They are the giant ones, I think I have three or maybe four. I feel bad throwing them away. I finally cleaned out my "storage" room and found them in a box of "bad chin...

Ok, lately its been really nice around here like low to mid 60's with an average humidity of 35 perceent. So last week my mom decided to turn off the air conditioning, which wasnt a big deal because the chins are in the basement and its several degrees cooler down there all the time. However...
