    Swiping at mouth and little poops.

    This ones a double wammy guys. So it's all cleared up now for the most part, every now and again a itty bitty one will slip though but right after will come out a normal sized poop. Oh, about a week and half to two weeks ago I noticed that there was very few droppings and the ones that were...

    Petco Now Housing Animal Shelter Pets?

    We went to the Petco in St. Cloud for something to do while we were at the mall one day and I noticed that they had a whole section of animals that were over flows from the local animal shelter. Does every PetCo do this?

    Rats.

    My room mate is adopting a rat from the humane animal shelter that she works at, her name is Truffle. Jessica doesn't really know much about them and neither do I. So anything that you guys know about them that you would be willing to share with us would be awesome. :thumbsup:

    Can my work bring home diseases?

    I've recently started working at an egg ranch until the school year starts, obviously it's a job that involves chickens and I believe that I've heard of poultry carrying diseases that can be fatal to chins; however I do not go in the barns or generally any where close to the chickens themselves...

    Bad Scrap.

    It looks as if Hibiki was jumping around the cage and caught his belly on the edge of the shelf. He has a pretty bad scrap, a good portion of fur is missing, however no blood. After washing it off with warm epsom salt water doesn't look like any puncture wounds are present. I'm debating on...

    Help Me.

    My dad's family has two chinchillas that I gave them last winter, and I have been trying to explain to them that they're not suppose to have fruit, vegetables, or nuts. Basically they just think that I'm harping, but they just won't listen to me so I would like that others on here will explain...

    Belated Thank You to Ronda and Picture Updates

    Every one loves the cottonwood, but I have to say that pear has become the new apple in this house hold.

    Fleece ideas for chins?

    So I'm in a clothing/sewing class, where there is a whopping four people in it. So guess what that means, lots and lots of time for me to do lots and lots of fleece items for my chinnies for free and still getting a grade and credits towards graduation. :dance3: So I've looked on Tanya's and...

    What to do? (more than one question)

    So as of right now, I'm planning on giving away the babies to families that are prepared to take in a chinchilla, no charge, except for a down payment type thing that i would keep until they have all that is nessisary and give it back unless if they want to buy supplies such as dust and food...

    Mounting already?

    I've just noticed a couple seconds ago the babies all playing around I thought nothing of it until I heard some little knacking from them. When i looked over they were all trying to mount each other. I'm worried about them getting hurt first of all and I'm ready to separate them and rotate if...

    How do you determine the number?

    This just popped in my head the other day and it got me thinking. How do large scale breeders count thier kits. What I mean by that is how do you determine when you get a litter that has 6 kits, how would you determine which is A1, A2, A3... and so on? Do you determine this by weight? Or as your...

    Momma does not put up with any horse play!

    Penelope, Habiki, and Manami were all taking a nice little snooze while Allora was popcorning on the bottom of the cage, I put in a low shelf last night that they all seem to like very much, and Allora thought she was going to go up on to the shelf and popcorn over every one who was resting...

    Penelope has this gunk on her fur...

    Since a week ago when she had the kits she got some gunk of some sort on her fur on her left side, it's pretty crusty and yuck. I was told she shouldn't get a bath until 10 days after she had the kits. But it seems as if she's been trying to get it out herself and it's making her fur rather thin...

    Is this weight progression okay?

    So I thought that the kits weights were doing alright, I showed Josh my little book that I keep all of their information in and he mentioned it to his grandma whom I got a very nasty call from because I'm not doing it right. :[ So a little help: Day of Birth 01-22-11: Tail 67 g 9:46 pm Foot...

    Penelope gave birth to Triplets.

    This is my first and Penelope's last baby batch. She had them around 7:50 this morning, I haven't been able to weigh them yet. But all three seem to be doing fine huddling under mom, squeaking, and moving around; Penelope seems more angry than usual. :thumbsup: I haven't really tried to bug...

    Banding.

    So I was thinking about how Rex is going to get snipped next week and I was wondering if surgery is the only way to neuter a chinchilla? We band our cattle and with in a month or so their testicles just fall off, it's kinda gross but it seems effective. I'm not planning on doing this to Rex but...
