    Ledges, houses, hammocks & more

    Is the cube with a hole still available? I can't get the link to work to see it. Is it made of fleece?

    chins and rabbits

    Ive had my current dwarf rabbit for 7 yrs and had chinchillas for 6 yrs and have never had a problem ever. They are housed in the same room/area (obviously in seperate cages) and my vet (Angie Keffer) says its absolutely fine. Just wanted to put that out there

    contorted body, running in circles?

    My girl Toji used to have seizures when i had her and when she would have one, the entire front part of her body like wouldn't work. She would just slide the front of her body around and she would get real stiff as well. I would just let her be and try to pet her head to comfort her until she...

    The Handbag Thread!

    I love handbag at the carwash!....I have sneekily (well I guess not so sneekily now) followed Handbag since his inception here on C&H's and maybe its just me but I seem to notice that that cute little butt of his seems to be getting a little on the chubby side these days! I LOOOOOOOOVE it ;)

    What a creep!

    I have never in my entire life seen an animal of any kind look so completely and utterly pissed off! He looks like the maddest creeper I've ever seen....if u had any others I bet one of the chins would be saying "Hide ur kids, hide ur wife, they're raping everyone round here!"

    How old is/are your chinchilla(s)?

    I had Toji who was 14 when she died (she was a rescue). Currently I have Sidney who is almost 3 and Fleury who I have no idea how old he is because we found him outside. I go to Dr Angie Keffer and she said that she treats a chin who was 23 years old! That was like a year or 2 ago so if its...

    Chinchilla "Stop" button?

    Sidney doesn't particularly like me touching her anywhere but her head/chin area either but after it worked with Fleury I (because she bites my fiance if he touches her) tried it with her and she did the same thing....just odd I think

    Chinchilla "Stop" button?

    I would agree with you CindyV (about my chins anyways) but it happens even during play time and I don't knw about ur chins but mine want NOTHING to do with my scritches when its time out of the cage for play, but still if I scratch the "butt" area they stop like I hypnotized them or...

    Chinchilla "Stop" button?

    Ok so my fiance and I have 2 chins a little boy (Fleury) and a girl (Sidney). So, we found Fleury outside about 2 years ago and he is an absolute sweetheart. A few months ago, we noticed that no matter what he is doing (eating, playing, running around during playtime, etc) he stops everything...

    What are we doing wrong!??

    Ha wow! My girl Sidney came from Angie! I first went to her with my chin Toji for teeth issues and had to have her teeth trimmed every 6 weeks or so. She also had a seizure disorder and unfortunately died after a terrible and serious seizure. It was awful for my fiance and I. So, one day...

    What are we doing wrong!??

    I lived in Greensburg PA all of my life (just a few minutes down the road from you!) and just recently moved to MD for grad school. I had the same problem with finding a good chin vet til I got on this website. Angie Keffer is a vet at Robinson Animal Hospital who is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!...She...

    Can chin claws cause this?

    Have you had the chicken pocks? Because honestly it looks like shingles. My mom had shingles before and it looked just like that. Google it on the internet. I say if it doesn't go away then u should go to the doctor about it. Just my opinion!

    litter training?

    Both of my chins use litter boxes. My girl Sidney who we have had since she was 10 months old goes ONLY in her litter box no matter what. We just put her litter box in the corner she went in most time and put the litter box there. Now, we can move the litter box anywhere and she will ONLY go...

    Chins on Go, Diego, Go??

    I've only every seen the show twice babysitting and both times it was the chinchilla episode! The baby chinchilla got separated from its momma and Diego and friends helped to get him back to the mountain with the rest of the chinchillas! I thought it was hilarious!

    he finally came out of his cage:)

    When I first found Fleury outside, he had mats also, but a hurt arm so i didn't want him rolling in the bath til I got him to the vet to find out what was wrong. I used one of the small clear plastic totes (w/the lid off) and i put dust in it and used dust in my hand and tried to kind of rub it...

    Chin dust and fuzz build up?

    I have 2 chins and a dwarf rabbit. I clean every day and there is STILL dust that I can find! Right now I'm going especially crazy b/c my rabbit is molting right now but I find the dust/fur/fuzz EVERYWHERE (and poops as well). If I don't clean daily it gets so bad it takes me hours to clean!
