Thank you so much! I appreciate your quick reply.

Hey everybody, So I am finally upgrading my chin's cage, and I decided to go with the Bass pans. I am unsure if the $39.95 stainless steel ones are necessary or if the $19.95 prime galvanized ones will suffice. They are both 2.5 inches deep, which will be enough for my pooper. I've got a...

While tunes said it best, I just wanted to share this little anecdote. My very safe, very happy (although very spoiled) chinchilla, who I share a tiny college dorm with, barks every night around 1 or 2 in the morning. The first couple of nights I would get up and stumble to his cage and sing...

If I have a standard gray chinchilla, will the cornstarch affect the gray fur?

Hi fellow chinlovers, I have bad news, my fur ball Mick Jagger went to the vet for his annual check up (I don't know if everyone does this, but because I got MJ in a pet store I've always been super cautious about his health. He's only been sick once, more than a year ago, but the doctor got...

Yesterday was my birthday and I had an ice cream cake and was taking pictures with my little angel fuzzbutt MJ. Now, MJ is a sweet baby and normally will sit quietly on my shoulder for extended periods of time. I had just set my slice of cake down when BOOM MJ lept onto my plate and into the...

My fuzzbutt MJ is almost 2 years old. He is a standard gray and as of his last vet visit (Last October) is healthy and his behavior has been steady throughout. At first I thought that I had gotten lucky and found myself an extremely docile pet, however, over time I have watched videos of other...

So I am in the market for a new cage for my fuzzbutt. The only problem is, I don't know how much room I am going to have in a few months, but I need a new cage ASAP. I already know I want the ferret nation but I am having trouble deciding whether or not to spring for a double unit or stick with...

So here is the dilemma: I have one adult chinchilla named MJ (short for Mick Jagger) and I don't plan on getting another chin for at least 5-8 years. Right now, I am using a cheap starter cage I bought when I first got MJ and am saving up to get a ferret nation. His current cage is ridiculously...

No worries Beanacre0, Congratulations and welcome to chinchilla-ownership! First off I would like to let you know that Eddie sounds like an overall happy chinchilla. I got Mick Jagger (M.J) from a pet store and it took me about two weeks to get him to be comfortable around me. The thing is...

Don't panic Well first off, I got my chinchilla, M.J, at Petco. The people there talked me into buying a ton of stuff that ended up being harmful to chinchillas, things like plastic shelves, plastic water dish, pellets that had dried fruit in them etc. I ended up returning most of it (some was...
