I moved from Alaska to Georgia, it took us 7 days. We had 4 chinchillas and 4 dogs and everyone did wonderful. Due to the dogs we stayed in pet friendly hotels that had no pet restrictions or weight limits. We must have been quit the site! We stayed in one really nice hotel in the middle of...

Thanks guys! Ashley

Is this the tradition chinchilla pellets you guys have been recommending? This is the only site I can find to buy them online but before I order a big bag I wanted to make sure this was the right stuff. http://www.chinchillas.com/estore/detail.aspx?ID=1 Thanks! Ashley

Thanks guys, I was wondering about the wood soaking up the urine. My plastic tray for the girls is long gone! They got into the fleece and chewed it up a little bit and I tossed it. I know how unsafe plastic is, it just wasn't worth the risk any more. Do you think the regular sides on the bass...

I was wondering what is the most recommended bottom for a ferret nation. I know about the Bass Pans but I was just browsing through the Ferret Nation Club thread and saw a lot of wooden bottoms. Do you guys order those or make them yourselves and if you make them yourselves about how much did...

I felt my other chin and he has smaller bumps there but his aren't as large as Tug's. I will see if maybe they go down once he has been in his cage for awhile and he cools down. Thank you for the fast response! Ashley

I have a male chinchilla named Tug. While out for his play time tonight I noticed he had some swelling on both sides of his penis and anus. It is egg shaped and if you put two dimes next to each other it's about that long and wide. He does seem tender when I gently squeeze it. Both lumps are...

Chinnymom - That is a great idea and my chins are jealous of Rhino's cage :) however I am currently moving from Alaska to Georgia. The chins will be traveling in small bird cages so I want a cage to be waiting for us once we get there. That's the only reason I'm trying to find a cage before...

Here in the next month I will be moving over 4,000 miles with my 4 chins. I think they will handle the trip well but we are taking steps now to get them used to the cages they will travel in and to be sure that everything in our new home will be ready for them. I think as long as you talk to...

Does anyone own or use this cage? I understand that the plastic shelves would need to be removed and that the bottom is plastic but it looks like the metal top of the cage sits on the plastic bottom to prevent chewing. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this cage and if they...

To be honest, I have 5 large dogs (lab mixes or Husky mixes) and I took extra steps to ensure that nothing would ever happen to my chins. I bought tough cages (ferret nations) that even when jumped on wouldn't be knocked over, broken into or damaged. My dogs are all well behaved and have never...

The bar spacing on that is the same bar spacing as a normal dog kennel and I know people on here have said that there chins slipped right out of a dog kennel no problem. If you wanted to modify the bar spacing too then I think it would be a great pen! I've used them when I had my bunnies and I...

I have three Chinchilla's and one of them came with a Chin Spin. I have 1 HUGE cage, it is the size of a ferret nation and it is not divided. It has a TON of ledges and running boards and places for them to just get out all of their pent up energy. I then have a ferret nation that is divided...

I'm lucky. I have 4 dogs and they already have homes for when I'm "gone". My boyfriend and I got our Chinchilla's together so I know he would keep all 3. Our only female, Max, might go to his mom (who loves her to death!) but otherwise John would keep the boys at the very least. I love that he...

Thanks for all the help! We do the pyrex dishes right now and out of the three only one of my chins is good about using it only. I'm glad there is at least hope for fixing my ferret nation without spending $300! Ashley

My one chin is a definitely a plastic chewer, when I picked him up from his previous owners they gave me half of a plastic pan for his bottom because he had chewed the other half. That's why I wanted to clarify what I was seeing on Whimsy's page, I thought maybe they couldn't get to the plastic...

I took a look at Whimsy's wooden bottoms, can I just use wood sides and the original plastic pans that come with the cage? That would make my life so easy! The problem is shipping to Alaska cost an arm, a leg and 2 chinchilla's ;) so I'm hoping to find a solution that won't involve shipping...

I'm not happy with the cage I have right now for my two boys and so I need a recommendation for a new one. I am not a fan of fleece so I really want something with a deep base to put shavings in it. When I first got my boys I was an uneducated owner and had them in a cage with a plastic bottom...

When I got my chin the lady told me she mixed raisins in with his food because he loved them so and she knows some people are against it but really, he loves them so much! Oh, and his favorite past time according to his old owners? Rolling around the lawn in his death ball. Yes, they allowed him...

I'm a pet only home and I have adopted 2 older chins and one kit. I have to say I like my older chins much better. They seem to enjoy spending time with me and they seek out my attention where the little kit just wants to run around and be crazy. I would always recommend an older Chin for anyone...
