Okay, so I have a male chinchilla. He is probably at least 10 years old. The past couple of days I noticed he is leaving some crumbs behind when he is eating. Like part of a pellet and some dust crumbs. Not in his bowl but beside it. He eats out of a ceramic cat food type bowl. Earlier this...

My boyfriend just noticed that one of our girl's has a wet chest & mouth. She keeps pawing at her mouth, and rubbing her face on the shelves and house in her cage. We offered her a treat and she took that and ate it with no problem. But, still keeps rubbing her face on the shelves. Kind of looks...

So, we have one of those PUR 3 stage filter systems. However, I didn't realize we were on our last filter already. So, I have some bottled water in the fridge, it says it has been filtered using Reverse Osmosis, which I searched on here, and I know that is okay. However, it says that it has...

Yeah, there are two smooshed chinnies in there. This is not a tube. Its really a recliner. Can you stop taking pictures now, mom? Feel free to post your silly chins & their sleeping habits. :dance3:

I need a way to keep the girls from getting underneath their liners. That is ALL they do is go under the liners, all of the poop is under the liners as well as the pee and they are just crawling around in it. And then what ever poop is on top of the liner, it goes flying in the floor when they...

So, I just re-decorated my girl's cage & this morning when my boyfriend woke up one of the girls was underneath the liner. Then while he was eating, the other girl got under the liner and he said she couldn't get out. (I don't know if she really couldn't or not, sometimes he isn't too observant...

So, my two girls have decided apparently that their cage is pretty tasty. Tonight they have been chewing on their cage bars, going up and down the bars with their teeth, they are also chewing on the little tab thingy where the FN sticker is. I peeled the sticker off & they still seem to be...

What do you guys use as a hay holder? I tried to do a search but couldn't come up with much. I thought about ordering one of those hay holders that has the chinchilla cut out on it. Not sure though... So, I'd like opinions please. :)

Is this okay to use on shelves with my chinnies? It is Wilton brand. Its called FoodWriter Edible Color Markers. I believe these are the ones : http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=5299E0BC-802D-F658-06A6ACAE4BD644D5&killnav=1# Also, any tips? My plan is to use a stencil & color...

Since it is starting to get colder, and we've had a first dusting of snow, it has me curious about what types of supplies I might need if the power was to go out. Usually the power never stays out too long here, since my boyfriend lives in the city.. but, I want to be prepared.. just in case. (...

FINALLY!!!! I just set in front of their cage & stare at them. They are both already so friendly, as soon as I open the cage doors they are both trying to get out & climb on us. Please excuse the crappy pictures, my boyfriend's camera is not so great. And ignore the date stamps too.. I'm not...

I just bought a digital thermometer at WalMart and it also reads humidity. I have it on the chinnie cage and the temp currently reads 73 & the humidity is 32. Its been on the cage for about 30 minutes-ish, & it has been fluctuating a bit. What is a good humidity/temp for chins?

You would think with all of the threads I've made about shelves, I would be done already. Well I'm not!! :hair: Anyways, I posted in my other thread about this, but I'll just tell my story again here, so that everything will make sense. I went to Home Depot last night & I told the man that I...

Sorry to make another thread, but I didn't want to add this in with my other thread, because it is a different topic. I'm looking on Walmart's web site trying to figure out about the PUR water filters.. and they have several different kinds, and it is making my brain hurt. Which kind do I need...

Okay, so I did a search on here about shelves & I've learned a bit more info. I took some measurements for my cage & now I was looking on Lowe's web site trying to see if I could calculate how much it'll cost, because hopefully I have enough spare moolah right now that I could get them...

Do they notify you once your order has been shipped? Also, about how long did it take you to get your's after you had paid for it?

I'm kind of curious as to what type of wood is best used for shelves for your chinnies? Or at least what is most popular. And, what thickness of wood do you all have for your shelves? Also, I want to color my shelves once I've gotten them made, everyone says to use either food coloring or...

So, I went last night & bought my FN! :dance3: One step closer to getting my chinnies! I just now owe my mom $260 worth of slave labor for it. Eeep! Anyways, its the FN 182, is there any difference between the 142 & the 182? Do the bass pans work with this model, or is it a different size I...

I signed up for one of those credit cards, I believe it was an option to verify my account. Anyways, has anyone used this kind of card? I thought about using it to buy some fleece items I wanted & to order my bass pans for my FN cage, I'm the kind of person that I can't stand to wait to save up...

Hello all. First of all let me say that this forum is wonderful. After looking over everything I'm kind of feeling a bit overwhelmed with new information & questions, because I am slightly OCD, I need to know every detail & have things semi planned out in my head! I don't have my chinchillas...
