She is doing good. However, she has decided that even though I give her many toys and pumice stone to chew, she wants to chew on the metal house I have in her cage.
Thank you! She seems to be. She is probably a little spoiled though. I can walk by her cage and she will come down from her tube and expect scratches and treats.
Thank you! 😊
Sage is a female standard grey chinchilla. She is about three years old. One thing she has learned which is very funny is that when I walk over the cage and start reaching for the treats, she will place her paws on the cage and stare at me.
Hi there! I have not been on in a while. My parents are taking a break and my mom is moving out. I am not quite old enough to move out yet. I will be with both parents an equal amount of time. I have two options for my chinchilla. I could have her stay at my moms. My mom would take care of her...
That is odd though. My chinchilla would hide in her tube while I cleaned when I first got her. You could put in playpen in front of the cage to keep her contained. If you have a double critter/ferret nation, you could also block her off in one section while you clean.
Update: she is going to the vet tommorow. I called and they think it is a respiratory infection. Is there anything I can do until then? It is the evening and she is going tommorow morning.
Another Update: I didn’t want to create another post but a little over and hour from the last update. She...
I come in the room. There is a click and then what sounds like a snore. She continues to do this. I have a video but I don’t know how to post it. She also moves her neck really weird which I am most concerned about. I have a video but don’t know how to post it. How do I post it? I am very concerned.
Kleenmama doesn’t own it anymore. It was taken over with new ownership a while back. I purchased some two or three months ago but it was third cut. I think I may have gotten the crop from last year but it was good quality. My chinchilla and guinea pigs liked it.
That will not keep her cool enough. If you have a car, can the chinchilla go in when it reaches 75 degrees and above? They can over heat at 75 and above so I would probably move her before that. However, if your chinchilla gets to 100/110 degrees they will most likely die.
