Welcome to the forum!

I've always been told with dog food that once the bag is opened you have about 6 weeks to use even in airtight container because nutritional value starts to degrade and the food becomes stale. Is this not true with chinchilla food?

I'm getting one soon. I already put the deposit down. They're amazing animals. They're similar to rats in personality a lot of times as long as you socialize them but they live longer :) Their care is similar to hedgehogs, except they utilize vertical space like rats do and they need no...

Love them! I have three crested right now and have had many in the past. Right now I have three super dals. The first gecko you have there is a flame, and the second one is a fabulous extreme harlequin! And just so you know, you will have to seperate them, they tend to fight. Especially if...

Well they're definitely look don't touch pets. I consider them along the same lines as keeping a reptile or a fish except much less maintenance then either of those. Yes, you can handle some species and some individuals but I just have no interest. They're very simple and honestly, it's like...

Male bettas have very long flowing fins. Females are much duller. Here are the pics of my male and female. Male first and female is the second pic. I put them as links because the pics are kind of large. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t249/leaveittoweaver/DSCF2073-2.jpg...

Oh great :) Thank you all so much for the replies. If I do end up taking in the chin, I'll certainly modify the cage. And what's the best priced place to buy ledges? I don't mind having the chin out for playtime for maybe 30 to an hour and a half a day. The rats are generally out though...

Yup that's the cage! And theres a link to a picture of the full cage. That is a dust bath house but it has no dust in it. My friend left it in for her to sleep in. She has the ramps still in there but I would take them off. I don't have the chin and cage yet so i can't get a full picture. But...

Aww so cute! Congrads on the new hedgie!

Depending on the kind of cage you have, you can also use fleece liners :) This is what I do, and it works wonderfully.

No, you can post the pictures right in here :D Or start a new post. Whatever you prefer! Also, don't be suprised if your hedgie is a little grumpy while she's quilling. It's natural, so don't be discouraged by it :)

I lurk here quite a bit but I never bothered introducing myself. I'm Rachel, and I currently have a hedgehog, two crested geckos, two males bettas, a female betta, a cat, rats, and a Rose Hair Tarantula. And in the near future, possibly a chin. I love browsing the forums and learning as much as...

A friend of mine has to find a home for her Chinchilla and she contacted me. I've done a lot of research but the one thing I'm unsure of is if the cage she is giving me is appropriate: http://www.petco.com/product/113057/WARE-Chew-Proof-Three-Level-Small-Animal-Pet-Cage.aspx I can cover the...

D'awwww. So cute!

I tried giving Sonic a little bit of the Wellness Chicken that I feed my cat but he wanted no part of it.
