I left for one night, and came back to my chinchilla acting very strange. Before I left, he was jumping everywhere, being his happy normal self. I came back this morning to a sad tired chinchilla. He feels light, like he got skinnier over night! Usually when I hold him, he hops around me and...

Oh my, where do I start. So I have a hamster and a chinchilla, and I love them just so much. Like, really, when my chinchilla of seven months wakes up for play time he doesn't go back in his cage for at least two hours. Hamster gets lotsa lovin to. <3 Anyways, I've really been thinking about...

My chinchilla is 18.8 oz, or 533 grams. Is this on the small size? He's 3 and a half.

I already have a feeling how this happened. My chinchilla Kodah lives in a cage with a mesh bottom, so that's the problem. I usually have fleece on half the bottom, but all of it got lost somewhere in my wash and he hasn't had fleece on the bottom in a week! I got new fleece, and it's in the...

I realize I can't use cedar or spruce. Kodah doesn't come in contact with his bedding, so does it matter if I use newspaper? I switched over to it last week and it seems to work fine for us, I just need to clean it once a week (of course). Oh and half of his cage is covered in fleece so no...

Here I sit with my chinchilla, petting him. We've been sitting here for about 10 minutes and I've been petting his head the whole time. He has the freedom to get off me and do his chinchilla stuff, but here he sits letting me pet him. He seems relaxed and all of a sudden he started made this...

I find these stories quite interesting, especially the rescue ones. My chinchilla's owner was a girl who went to my school. I was telling her about how sad I was about my old hamster (my sister lost him on my birthday while I was at a friends house, he was never found) and she says "Oh, I'm...

So I was looking at some shops that some nice people recommended to me, and I noticed that hay is sold in smaller portions than I expected. My friend got a giant cage for her rat, and it came with a big hay feeder she didn't need. I put the hay feeder in his cage stuffed with alfalfa hay (which...

I was wondering if anyone knows any good online stores, that sells good quality for a low price. I've come across camphorchins.com and qualitymutationchinchillas.com, and they look pretty good, but I was wondering if there's any better. I need some recommendations on where to get the following...

Hi, I'm Sheila, and I've had my beige chinchilla Kodah for about 6 months. I've seen other chinchillas fur and it seems to look a lot more... how do I explain... dense? Like it has no spaces in between it's fur. (I hope you understand what I mean.) I don't know if it has to do with the diet or...

Hello! I've had my beige chinchilla Kodah for about six months. Whenever I see him sleeping, he's always on all fours, kind of in a ball, and looks tense. That's only when he is sleeping outside of his hidey house, he may be sleeping differently inside there. Stupid question, but does the way a...
