So I checked out that super cool sound database sticky listening for this particular sound one, I think its just the one, chinchilla makes. Can't find it, its very strange and she seems to only make it when she's sleeping, like she's having a bad dream and she makes not quite a scream or a bark...

I had this problem too, I got it in my head raw dried pumpkin seeds were fine, I do wonder about the cherrios as I cannot find any that don't list sugar as the 2nd or third ingredent. I like the rosehips as chinnies gets some and I make tea from some, yum! @VolunteerChin22 , you say dried...

Thank you everyone I think I'll just do my little bonsai tree this year as I just can't guarantee that the chins wont find a way, sneaky little fuzzballs. I source my trees and limbs from a property that I guarantee hasn't had chemicals spray of any kind near it in at least 80 years, but the...

So with Christmas coming up and me having a housefull of chinchillies I ask a question; is their a species of tree, pine tree? that I can have in my house and feel safe that it wont hurt my chin's if they happen to have a nibble, or that I can reuse after the season to dry out and use for chin...

I know nothing of these rocks, my poor poor chinnies. Where do I find these rocks?

The chinchillas have their own room so a sweep out every other day and a full once a week cleaning and they stay clean, maybe I just lucked out with some tidy chinchillas. I'm lucky how I've got some amazing vets trying to help me out with my critter studies, I'm trying to switch from being a...

So I promise chins will never get to play outside ever again. Everyone is now separated. The first pair came from being in line, for hay, with a woman who has a cheating *** of a husband and she was pissed off that the local SPCA was closed as he left his favorite pair behind and they were in...

OK first off the first two pictures of the chinchillas outside are the first pair when I first brought them home. 10 minutes, inside a playpen on grass that is chemical free, never again, I was dumb. @ ticklechin thank you for your concern for my chinchillas, the azalea came from a new cage...

When I got the first pair I was dumb and knew nothing about them and let them have a dust bath in a play pen set up on my grass, since then if a chinchilla is outside it's in a carrier. I was tired and doing the calculations in my head of how long the chinchilla was in the cage, how much of...

OK let me give you the details on my moment of panic posting. I got called into work so I asked my husband to do some errands for me which included picking up a used cage, he wanted to be sweet and have it set up for me when I got home, even though I told him I wanted to clean it. So came...

Why not a Vet you ask? When it happened it was late and the vet's office was closed and to be quite honest I was not even sure if the chinchilla had even eaten anyhing or even needed a trip to the vet. So I guess I was dumb and panicked so asked for advice of what to do in the inbetween hours...

So here they are my 5 free chinchillas tell me what you think The pair, the first pick up, grey girl and black boy these guys are sweethearts then scruffy the scared crazy but so sweet little girl chinny The the grey chinny who was stuck in with a mean white male, he's ok out of his cage but...

So details aside my chinchilla may have ingested small amounts of azalea leaves How poisonous are they? What can I do to neutralize toxins? What can one do when an animal ingest a poisonous plant Fresh water, hay, maybe charcoal?

When I first got my chins I found a box of "Kaytee Nature's Benefits Chinchilla Daily Diet", I sorted out all the treats and 1/2 it with my otter co-op 14% rabbit feed, and gave them the extras on the side. Now I have them fully on Oxbow and I think I'll stick with it. Though I'm thinking...

@ticklechin I have a Clinic that was recomended to me for having Vets that can handle chinchillas who know of my situation are are ready to help me, but as they seem in perfect health and I do not feel the need for a meet and greet check up, I've yet to bring them in for a visit. I live in the...

I got her and her mate from a breeder that was in the middle of a messy divorce and just needed them gone, I got little info other then their both around 4 years and they have had litters in the past. I do not know how many litters she's had or when the last one was, but i was told they were...

I like to juggle mine ^u^ and by that I mean I put them on my shoulder and let them try and run down my side, but they don't quite make it and their on my shoulder again haha! I really love how much like rats they are but better, fluffier and no stinky poop and their lifespan. Advice if your set...

I keep the caging at about 5 inches apart so I should be good, although most of my cages have 1 inch bar spacing the female chin is in my only one that has 1/2 inch, I hope it will do. The cages I have right now are 3x3x2' wire cages with a solid plastic base, I do intend on upgrading their...

I just switched all my rescue chinchillas over to Oxbow from all the random cheep crap they were on and I've noticed they finish their portion everytime, I do about a heaping 1/8 cup scoop per chin per day with limitless hay. I've been very happy with the feed although I've noticed some of the...

Thank you Tagna, first thing I did was get everyone into their own home, I actually had a lot of trubble with this as the pair with the definitely preggers chin are the sweetest pair ever! They snuggle against the wire of where their cages sit beside each other, its so hard to keep them apart...
