Hello everyone, I tried to slowly give pellets to my chinchilla (mixing with previous food so they get used to it) but thye absolutly refuse to touch them after two weeks. I tried three brands : versele laga, vitakraft "all in one" and the last one i totally forgot but it was a good brand I...

Nice, thanks a lot :) I made a nice toy for them with it, everything fit perfectly but I kinda forgot it might be toxic, I'm glad it isn't.

You sure ? Not doubting you but I looked on google and everyone said hyacinth is not good, though no one said about WATER hyacinth, I thought it would be the same

I'm sorry for the double post, but I have a new question, in a quest to make/find toys, I had an idea to make a little game for them Though I am wondering, one of the component of the game is made out of braided water hyacinth (looks like cords our braided wood) Any idea if its nocive for them ?

I see, it's a nice idea to change toys sometimes, I'll check out the sites and buy more and change from time to time Thank you for the advices :)

Ok and I forgot to ask, is cardboard good as play things ? (I can make houses or maze out of them) I work at a fast food so I can have infinite amount of it for free, I've read its not good if they eat it... Though I bought a tube at a pet shop made out of hay, and the inside is pretty much...

Hello everyone, I have chinchillas since 6 months and i'm always up to make them as happy as possible I have this feeling (and to be honest i've always had it with every animals) that they are bored, though i'm not really sure I tried many things to keep them occupied, I tried to grab them and...

It's fine I bought the AC today, didn't try yet but it was cheap-ish and made for small rooms like mine so it should be enough Thanks guys :)

I'm not sure that's really a swamp cooler, it uses water to purify the air (somehow, don't ask me how) and you can put ice in it to breeze cool air But anyway, i'll just buy an air conditioner it's not as expensive as I thought a 200euro one should be plenty for my 15m² room (161 square foot)

70°F sounds very low already to me :o we're barely in april and it's 20°C in the room already (so ~67°F) I don't mind buying an air conditioner, its not like I won't have any use of it myself Though I've heard of air refreshener (I couldn't find the exact word in english) it's pretty much a...

It gets to around 35°C here when its very hot I guess I can buy an air conditioner, just hoped there would be another way All the rooms here are the same, no basement, so it won't change

Hello guys :) I'm afraid for the upcoming of summer with my chinchilla I saw on google that they allow 16 to 21°C (I guess i can push it to 23) so it's 60-70F. Here in france, summers can rise up to 40°C often... Is there any practical way to cool down my little chin ? I thought about a fan...

Okay so it's a big risk, I'll leave her alone then, i'll certainly play with her a lot once she let me And I'll look up for the treats then, thank you for the website (and answer :o) )

Alright, we have cheerios there so i'll try that as treat and avoid the chinchilla treats in shops. Also update for today, she let me vacuum in her cage :) she was a bit frightened of the noise at first but got used to it, she is making a lot of progress suddenly i feel relieved Thank you all...

Okay so no fruits, it's odd because I bought treats in pet shop only for chinchilla and they are based on carrots and dried banana, I guess it's not a good thing. I also found a food stick with herbs and rose hips, that's all I found as treats in this shop (and its quite a big one) And I'm...
