The only place around my house that carries Mazuri has been out of it for a few days, so I have been just doubling up on hay. They said they would restock it today, but there is still no Mazuri. Is it ok if I feed him a different food for a few more days until they restock the regular food or is...

Ok thank you. Ill try it.

My chinchilla keeps chewing the wood door and the wood trim of my room where I let him out. He has plenty of wood and toys to chew on, but he persists. He also chews on the plastic baby gate that I use to block him from roing to the rest of the house. Any idea on how to stop this? Is there a...

So I'm not sure where to post this but I guess it has something to do with behavior. My chinchilla pees up on this skinny bridge and his pee drips down and hits another shelf and then it spills over the edge and it lands on the carpet. Obviously i don't want it on the carpet so is there a. A...

My chinnie has these poofed out fur spots, three of them, and I know they do that when they're scared, but he's not scared. Is it like the season to do that or something? Thanks in advance!

I leave the dust house in my chinchillas cage, with the blue cloud in it, only 3-4 times a week tops. Any more will dry out their fur. As far as I know, oranges, or any other fruit are bad for them. Stick with un-sugared wheaties, old fashioned oats, and wood.

I was only wondering because i got bored one day and read through the hedgehog FAQs and it said, i believe, you should take your hedgehog in every 6 months or something like that. Thanks.

Thankyou. My chins pads arent like that at all. Like i said the pads are pink and fine, no mooshing or pushing, and he just has that little scab the. Size of a wood sliver you'd get in your finger while wood working. I'm totally changing the subject but I didn't think this deserved another post...

Unfortunately my camera is too blurry to get a good look at the foot so by any chance do you have a picture of the beginning signs of bumblefoot? It doesn't look that bad, however i don't know what i'm looking for. The bottom pads are pink and looking normal and the spot where the cut or dried...

Today i noticed a little bit of dried blood on one of my boy's shelves. His foot is bloody, but it doesn't effect him. He continues to run around and stuff. I'm wondering what i should do. I think its dry skin or a cut, should i wash it out? Thanks.

God i feel like such an idot. Thanks a lot :thumbsup:

I guess i'd say its about this color possibly a little darker..a light brown

thankyou ill go check that

I have no idea because he pees on his fleece and i can't really see the color well. Is there any way i could tell?

I came home today and saw a brown liquid on his wheel. Im pretty sure its diarrhea, could it be something else? The rest of his poops on his shelves and what not are solid, and normal...Could it be stress, because I just upgraded his cage? Please help, thanks
