Hi! I'm a college student and I live about and hour and a half away from home (not that bad i don't think) and i have a two story feisty ferret cage and I drive a honda civic. does anyone else have any experience with this situation? Are most people able to transport the cage without completely...

- Three cheers for FuzziesKingdom Herbal Supplements! I bought Ollie the stress and anxiety remedy product and its wonderful! He loves it and I have definitely noticed a positive change in his behavior; much less skittish and welcoming to head scratches now! - Boooo Kaytee "chewproof" glass...

Just some funny pictures of Oliver being a goof (and using my boyfriend as his jungle gym). Post pics of your babies being silly! :neener:

So today I noticed that my boy Oliver is missing the tip of his middle toe. I feel so stupid for not having noticed it before since I've had him for about a month. Also, quite angry that the lady I bought him from failed to mention it to me. Obviously it doesn't make me love him any less but I...

I was wondering if anyone else's chins make a soft repetitive squeak during playtime. Its the only time he does it. I've never heard him make any other sound other than his protest to being picked up (harsher bark/squeak). I assume its because he's happy because he's running around and using me...

So whilst changing Ollie's fleece liner I noticed that there were two or so crusty spots, as in the fabric didn't bend as easily. I probably have my head in the gutter but my first thought was ejaculate (like humans). but is it pee? I can't imagine pee becoming dry and tough. Should I be...

I've only had my boy Oliver for about a month now, so I'm still picking up on his quirks. But I've consistently noticed that he only pees in the same spot, a spot that progressively gets more noticeable before I change is pine shavings. Its really no big deal to me, I'm glad he's peeing, but I...

Before anyone gets upset with me, I just wanted to state that I DO NOT want to have to leave Oliver home alone but I may have to. So please withhold the criticism, I feel badly enough. Anyway, in your experience, what is the longest amount of time you've left your chin home alone unattended? My...

The wheel that Oliver came with was a trash, plastic comfort wheel from a pet store, so I took it out of his cage and haven't used it since. Will all chins use a wheel? I've been looking into buying him one of the various nicely built custom ones online, I just hope he'd actually use it. Any...

Backstory: I live in a small college town and I am a student at the university here and have been for three years. I got my baby Oliver off of craigslist a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did because even though the lady who sold him to me claimed to be a breeder, I don't think she was very...

It may be my untrained eye (Ollie is my first fur baby), but he seems to be a bit dark to be a standard, which is what I was told he was. Not that it matters whatsoever, I'm certainly no breeder. Just curious! <3

I've read somewhere that chins need sufficient amounts of calcium and vitamin C in order to be healthy. Calcium usually being provided by proper diet, but Vitamin C? I was on the flying saucer wheels website and noticed that they offered a Pro-C supplement. Any word on these? Worth it...

I was checking out fuzzieskingdom.com and came across their herbal supplement. I would be interested in get the anxiety and stress relief product for Oliver to help ease his nerves in the new house. the website claims that it is safe to give but I wanted to double check here first to see if...

Okay so I tried play time again with Oliver today since it had been a week since I've gotten him. He jumps and squeaks when I go to pick him up and squirms when I have him in my arms, but will usually relax after a few seconds. We got to the bathroom and he did his usual chinchilla exploring and...

Just curious to see how long it took your fur baby(s) to become comfortable with you as I am a first time chin mom to a 2.5 year old male, Oliver!

I am so worried. I made a first attempt at play time today and t wasn't a complete disaster, but as my title implies, we had a fur slip. I was able to coax him onto his carrier a few times but he would quickly pop out, the last time he tried I had grabbed him from underneath and slipped him back...

Hey guys, Ive seen various pictures all over the web of various chins snuggling with stuffed animals and I was wondering what the general consensus was on giving them one. yes, no, maybe so? thanks!

Hey guys, I got my little guy, Oliver, a little over 24 hours ago and I'm sure I'm just worrying for no reason but he hasn't really been doing much. I've sat by his cage and watched him explore but he hasn't gotten into chewing his toys or running on the wheel (he actually hides behind it). He's...

Hey guys! My name is Lauren and I'm a Senior Psychology Major studying at Indiana University of PA (maybe you've heard of it). I just adopted my first chin a little over 24 hours ago. I was told he was an adult grey male and I got him from someone who bred chinchillas, however she acquired this...

Hi all! Just adopted my little man Oliver today and I was wondering if I would be able to give him an old shirt that I slept in so that he could get accustomed to my smell. He's still pretty nervous (which I hope is normal) and I want to do anything I can so that he feels safe. Thanks!
