Do rose hips go bad? I gave one to my female and one to my male the other night and the next morning my male had soft poo.

I recently bought a new FN 182. I took the plastic pans and covered them in fleece, kind of making a pillow case type cover for them. The problem is that both of my chins are major chewers and keep pulling the covers off. The one burrows under the liner and chewed a hole in the pan in the middle...

So my chin makes a "clicking" noise when she is trying to go to sleep. Its a very low sound and I cant hear it unless I'm near the cage. To describe the noise, take your tongue and make it click against the top of your mouth while its closed. Its sounds kinda like that. I'm not sure if i should...

My chins are ok, I just wanted some veterinarian recommendations in the northern Maryland area. Ive heard of some, but not sure if they are actually reliable. : )

Before my female chin was in my possession I noticed the fur on her rear right leg was shorter then the rest, which later on I found out she was biting her fur due to stress. She hasn't done it since shes been in my possession but I'm worried she may still be under stress due to the new...

So after i saw my chin chewing on his Carefresh bedding the other day i decided to switch them to Aspen. As soon as i put the pan in the cage both of my chins grabbed some of the Aspen and starting eating it. Is this safe for them? I watched them because at first i thought they were just...

I have a male and female chin in the same cage. They have been mates for well over a year when they use to belong to a friend. They had one kit together almost 1 year ago and after the kit was weaned the dad was placed back in the cage. They haven't had a litter in almost a year and every time...

About 2 days ago I was reaching into the hay bag and felt a sharp pain in my finger to find something was stuck in it. I'm assuming it was a piece of hay of course. And I can't get the darn thing out. Has this happened to anyone else?

Planning on baby proofing one of my cages. I understand that i need to get hardware cloth but i have never used it before. Is there a type of hardware I'll need to attach the hardware cloth to the cage? Sorry if there is already a post out there asking this.

I'm switching my chins into a new cage. I bought this cage from petsmart and took out the plastic shelves and ramps. So i replaced the plastic with wooden shelves and a long shelf across the back Problem is, my chin has fallen a couple times so im worried the shelves are not safe for him...

I got my chinchillas (male/female) from a friend who didn't have enough time to take care of them. She had them for about a year and they were in this tiny cage meant for one chinchilla but with no ledges, so after talking to her she said i could have them. I bought them a new cage from petsmart...
