Hi Everyone! I had to make the difficult decision to rehome my chinchilla. She is about 6 years old and the sweetest girl. She will come with all supplies and her critter nation cage (2 levels). I am charging a rehoming fee of $200 (price negotiable, don't care about the money just want her...

My chinchilla had a dental exam an X-rays done today because she has been pawing at her mouth and grinding her teeth a lot lately. The vet said everything looked normal. After the appointment she seemed fine, she was eating hay an pellets, no issues but after an hour or so of being home she...

Hey everyone! Just had a quick question. So when I came home tonight my chinchillas fur was kind of hard and crunchy in some spots and is kind of sticking together? Idk how to explain it. But before I left she was totally normal and when I got home not even 3 hours later her fur was a mess...

Hey everyone! So my chinchilla Daisy hasn't been pooping as much and they have been smaller then usual. She has been acting fine but to be safe I took her to the vet today. They gave her a shot of Reglan and trimethoprim sulfa susp 0.50 cc twice a day. I also have been giving her gas drops...

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is considered an "emergency" or not. My chin has a tiny tear on her front paw (the bottom). It's not bleeding yet but she keeps biting at it. I put a bunch of new twigs/sticks in her cage to hopefully distract her from it. Is there anything I should be doing...

I am looking to adopt a female mosaic or ebony. She will be kept as a pet and slowly introduced to my standard chin, Daisy. However if they don't get along I will have two seperate cages. I live about an hour from Philadelphia.

My chin Daisy is 10 months old and a few months ago her brother turbo died after a failed neuter surgery. I have noticed at night that Daisy will cry a lot and she seems very lonely. I bought her a chin buddy but she doesn't seem to like it that much. I really want to get her a friend (I know...

I have noticed recently that my chin has bigger poops during playtime but in her cage they seem a little smaller. She is eating drinking and peeing normal. She is on oxbow pellets and a couple weeks ago I switched her from oxbow hay to American pet diner hay. I was just curious if this is...

So I need some advice on what I should do for flooring. I had linoleum in there but when I got home work I saw she had chewed a little piece of it (she has had this type of floor for 7 months now and this is the first time). I then went and bought fabric to cover the linoleum, that way she...

I have been posting on here a lot lately sorry about that! But anyways a little over a week ago I lost my baby turbo after neutering complications and it has completely devastated me and his sister daisy. I don't think I have ever cried this much. They LOVED each other. She is eating...

This morning I had to put down my baby turbo...he was neutered Thursday and I woke up to him laying there with his intestines out. I am beyond sad I can't believe this. I am so mad at myself for doing this to him. I just hope he is in chinchilla heaven and will forgive me. I will always love him.

I had turbo neutered yesterday morning (8am) and I picked him up at 5pm. He was very bruised and swollen down there due to him picking at the sight. They put and e collar on him which helped. I took it off to try to get him to eat and he ate a couple pellets and some hay. Now it's 1:30pm the...

So I just picked up my chin from being neutered and he looks terrible...the vet said he kept messing with his stitches so they put an e-collar on him. He is all red and swollen down there I feel so bad. He seems so out of it...just wondering if this is normal following a neuter?

I have two chinchillas who are siblings. (The boy is neutered). They are 7 months old. Whenever I have them out to play daisy (girl) will play so nice and chew on some wood sticks and popcorn around. But turbo (boy) is the complete opposite! He drives me crazy all he does when he is out is...

So I have a pair of chinchillas that I was told were sisters but today during playtime I noticed that one is actually a boy. I have had them for about 5 months and they are seriously best friends and I don't want to split them up. I know I could neuter the male but I don't want to put his life...

So this morning before work I spilled a little bit of water on my two chins. I tried to get most of the water off but me being so paranoid is making me worry. Will they be okay? Anything I can do when I get done work?

I love when they sleep together like this! They are 3 months today as well :)

Hi everyone! I want to make homemade chinchilla treats for my girls but don't know any good recipes. Would anyone be willing to share theirs? Thanks :)

My two girls are sisters and they are only about 10 weeks old. Whenever I have them out together they are constantly chasing each other and trying to "mount". I have never seen them actually try to harm one another. It almost seems like they are playing but I am not sure. They sleep together all...

The person who gave me my chinchillas and she kept one baby and the mom. They are in horrible shape and the kit has a broken leg and they are doing nothing about it. They also don't give them dust baths and feed them terrible food. What should I do?! I live in pa if anyone around here would be...
