Hi Everyone- I am shocked, sad and angry as I write this post. I deceided to share so others can learn from mistakes and to seek some advice. I own 4 chinchillas. I purchased a bonded pair from a reputable breeder in late 2016. The pair was discounted as the one chinchilla was missing a leg...

Thanks for the quick response! Glad to hear they still could be figuring out their housing arrangement and who's in charge lol. I will keep a close eye on those two. My other bonded pair (two ebonies who I purchased together) have def. Been through their squabbles over the pecking order but I...

Hello, I have a question regarding my two chinchillas who I introduced in Feb 2017. They were quarantined, given play time, introduced slowly etc. They were doing great up until this point. Momo is an approximately 5 year old female mosaic and Cocoa came from Petco, unsure of age, she is a tan...

Thanks for the replies... looking at the website/description and comparing to my other girls I'm certain Mo is a girl. The reason I was so hesitant in my asessment is because the previous owner told me they got Mo from a 'breeder' who was holding onto Mo to possibly breed but decided against it...

Just wanted to add in... I had the same problem recently!! My door panel did not latch and made the whole top of the cage fit together wonky. I ordered through ferret.com and got the new part in about a week but had to be persistent with them!

I agree and have to say a glass baking dish is very inexpensive and easy to clean. I picked mine up at a local thrift store. You can usually find them for $2-4 dollars there :)

I would recommend getting at least 1 more set of liners if not a few more. That way when it's time to clean the cage you can have a fresh set in the cage and the other in the wash. Liners are actually very easy to make if you have access to a sewing machine. There are plenty of instructions on...

I'm excited and nervous to give this a try! I also have bass pans coming in which will help neutralize the smell and great idea on rearranging the cage. I plan to put them together on a Friday so I can keep an eye over the weekend. Thanks for the info!

I have two females that I introduced and would like to bond. I've read many posts on this forum regarding the topic but would like to know when I should make my next move and place both chins in the same cage. So far, I've done the following: 1. Quarantine 2. Cages next to each other -No...

Hi Everyone, I adopted a white mosaic chin off craigslist. I was told Mo was a male. I didn't verify when I picked Mo up but then start to get nervous about hair rings since the owner said she hadn't handle Mo in about 2 years. I took a look and was surprised ... I'm 95% sure Mo is a girl. I...

Just have to chime in and say your chin is adorable and very photogenic! LOVE the second to last picture!!

Hello, Is this house safe for chinchillas? http://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/small-animal/small-animal-sleepers-hideaways/ware-farmers-market-natures-house-for-rabbits# WARE Farmer's Market Nature's House for Rabbits, Large, 15.5" L X 9" W X 9" H 15.5"; L X 9"; W X 9"; H. Made...

For once in my life I had some luck... I emailed the etsy owner and she didnt start working on that part of the order yet despite the fact I ordered it about 2 weeks ago. She was very kind about the whole situation and is going to use fleece only! Thats a good point Spodumena about only using it...

Thanks for the info. Godofgods! Interesting about the Bass pans not being magnetic! Unfortunately, the cotton can not be removed. I emailed the Etsy owner to see where she was at in processing my order, fingers crossed she may not have made some of the items yet and it can be switched to all...

Hello Everyone! I just got my two girls (a bonded pair) a few weeks ago. I pulled out my old Marshalls Folding Mansion cage from the attic for them. I didn't remember how difficult the cage is to clean!! It's a nice sized cage however the door size is small and multiple set in wire shelves...
