I am looking for the website that used to make the chinchilla train and I think there may of been a bus and castle and a few other toys. If anyone knows what I am talking about or knows where I can get one please let me know. Thanks!

If you are looking for a game site with lots of fun random games as well as some originals with different names (battleship, uno, connectfour, etc.) check out OMGPOP. My personal favorites are Fleet Fighter (Battle Ship) and Blockles ( twish of tetris). Go to this website...

I was wondering if once a ferret nation is assembled can it be easily collapsed down like it does when it comes in a box? I am really looking into a new cage and would love a ferret nation, but I live in an apartment now and will probably be moving to another apartment or condo next summer and...

This is my post from health and hygiene but this has now turned into an emergency as she has had no poos since about 7am: "How can you tell the difference between gi problems (bloat specifically) vs being a very chubby chin? I've had a chin with gi stasis, bloat, and intestinal problems, but...

How can you tell the difference between gi problems (bloat specifically) vs being a very chubby chin? I've had a chin with gi stasis, bloat, and intestinal problems, but Phoebe seems to be showing different signs. I noticed her belly was bigger than normal and a little firmer than usual. Her poo...

I was wondering what types of supplement you recommend. The place I had been getting my supplement from has started adding sunflower seeds and other weird things, so I am no longer getting supplement from them. I was thinking about going to an herbal supplement (I remember seeing a website...

Does anyone have any suggestions of a good chin vet in Lexington or Frankfort, Kentucky? I looked up one online name PennyRoyal Vet that specialize in exotics but was wondering if anyone knew of them or knew of other vets in the area.

I have a quality cage townhouse and was wondering what people use to put their chinchilla cages on? I want something that I can put supplies underneath that is why I didn't go with the stand they offer through the QC company. The one I'm using now isn't quite wide enough for the cage.

My chins have always been in the main part of my apartment where I spend the most time. I only have Phoebe now and since Maisie passed away she has always been in my living room or bedroom where I always am, so she gets tons of attention day and night. Well, now I'm moving and I will have 2...

Does anyone know much about the Lexington KY area? I recently took a job at the University hospital and was wondering about the area. Does anyone know of a chin friendly apartment complex? I have one pet chinchilla but everyone I have called does not allow chins. Any other info would be greatly...

I graduated today from Nursing School with Honors... Phoebe decided to get in on the celebration with me :-) Hope you enjoy!!!!

Can chinchillas get C. Diff? My chinchilla recently had a lot of rectal drainage and had an anal abcess which has now resolved, but I spent a lot of time squeezing it and draining it, but I always washed my hands thourougly after. Last week, I was diagnosed with C. Diff and while I work at a...

I noticed about 5-6 hours ago my chin, Phoebe is having a milky white thin discharge from her anal (where the poop comes out) area. It has a slight foul smelly odor and the area around her anal area is very red and swollen about 2 times the normal size. I saw a vet that I do not normally go to...

Does anyone have any experience with a chinchilla with allergies? I just got back from the vet with my chinchilla, Phoebe, who has been diagnosed with allergies. Every March for the past 2 years, she has been to the vet for a watery eye, that will crust in the corner. My vet thinks she has...

My chinchilla always has a watery eye after getting her dust bath. It gets all matted and crusty on the inner corner. This only happens after dusting, and she only gets her dust for about 5-10 minutes. I use blue cloud dust. If I go about a week not dusting her, her eye seems to improve, but if...

As some of you may know my 8 year old chinchilla, Maisie, passed away a week ago. She was cagemates with Phoebe, who is 2 years old. She has never been alone since I got her. At first Phoebe seemed to be ok, and I put a cuddle buddy in with her (a fleece sheep) that she slept with, "talk" to...

Yesterday, my little Maisie had to be put to sleep. She was 8 years old. A week ago she ended up with severe GI stasis and bloat along with an upper respiratory problem (which was later found to be a mass pressing against her airway and esophagus). She will always be remember for trying to jump...

I went to trim my chinchilla's teeth (this is a monthly thing, I always do on my own) and after I got her out I noticed she was breathing funny. It's almost like a whistling noise coming out of her nose and when i was holding her, it was almost like she wanted to puke but couldn't... heaving...

Can chinchillas get roundworms? I have been helping my friend with his new puppy and the puppy has been to my house a couple of times, but today he found out his puppy has roundworms. Can these be transmitted to my chinchillas? I have been thoroughly washing my hands between playing with the...

Question #1-I recently came home to my parents from college for a few weeks before classes start, as I got my tonsils out, but while I was home they remodeled their house and had tons of extra tiles (every shape, color, and size). I was ecstatic because I've been wanting to try tile in the...
