I took him to the vet because his eyes looked a bit weepy. I adopted him two months ago and noticed he doesn't really eat hay, so I suspected teeth issues. He was diagnosed with an abscess. A few days later he stopped eating and drinking. Took him to emergency vet, given painkillers and Critical...

Short video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scmO3ZEIt1U It's probably just barking, but I've never heard a bark as squeaky as this before. Winston sometimes makes this noise in his sleep, and I always go to make sure he's okay. I went to check him today while he was doing it and found he...

Thank you, all!

This is one of my favourites of my Winston spying on the neighbours. I think he got a bit of a shock to see one staring back!

Hello! My name is Katie, and I'm the owner of one male chinchilla who is 5 1/2 years old. His full name is Winston Churchinchilla, but he gets Winston, Winnie, or WinChin for short. I'm currently trying to find him a chinchilla friend that he can share his home with, but I haven't yet found a...
