I thought 32 sounded awfully cold for those little ears and paws! Tonight when my girl decided to play she seemed awfully happy with my temperature right around 60! It definitely gets extremely humid here, so I think this is the push we needed to pick up a dehumidifier! So... hedgehogs warm...

Thank you! That face... it's a killer. She just learned all she has to do is sit on her top shelf and stare at us with her little paws out and we'll come running. She plays more mind games than my cats!

I wasn't sure if this should be posted here or general topics, but since I'm a new owner I figured here would be okay... I'm sorry if it's not! One of the reasons I thought a chin would be the perfect addition to my home is I love cold temperatures. I tend to keep my house anywhere from 60-65...

I'm not sure if I'm just super lovable (hah!) or if I ended up being lucky enough to get the bravest chin ever... but bonding with Ana has been so easy! She's not scared, whatsoever, of me OR my husband and thinks of us as her favorite spots to sit on and spring off of. When I open the cage, she...

She did! The cage was wrong and the wheel was wrong, but at least the food was correct! She showed me two kinds of food. One with a bunch of things added and one plain pellets and told me to get the plain unless I wanted to pick out all the other junk, so I just got the plain and regular hay...

Thank you all very much! :) She's quite a cutie! I fell in love the second I saw her and she's been nothing but a joy since the moment we brought her home!

Thank you! That makes me feel loads better! I'm really glad to see a lot of other people have made similar mistakes... I was so worried I was going to get screamed at for being horrible! I'll have to check out wheel thread! I've been browsing because I'd like to get her one soon. I haven't...

I think I'll hold onto this cage for now and purchase a new one and start "chin-proofing" it while she grows that way when she's ready we can just move her over. In the mean time I actually already replaced her water bottle with a glass one and get her a ceramic bowl! She seemed a little miffed...

Hi! I'm Ashley, 23 years old. I'm a journalist and frequently work from home. My recently married husband Andrew is also 23 and a full time pest control tech and sales guy. Our only children consist of our cats and our new chin :) In the past, he had his beloved albino rat Raticus, and since I...

First of all I want to thank you guys for making me feel about 1000 times better! My little Vulcana still hasn't decided she wants to chew on her cage or anything, so that's good! That makes me feel better to know that about your chin being in a plastic cage! Mine seems to be extremely...

Hi! My husband and I recently decided to get a chinchilla. When we were in the pet store looking at supplies we talked to a girl who worked there that also had 2 chinchillas of her own. We thought," great! Someone who might understand products and know what works best from experience!" Oh, how...
