Last night Missy, one of my two chinchillas, unexpectedly passed away. The two years I've had her went by way too fast and I will miss her. She was between the ages 3-4, very young. This was my first time having pets, as I had none as a kid, so the loss is hitting more than I thought it would...

So, I've had my first incident involving plastic :( It's been two weeks since getting my two 1 year old female chinchillas, and everything has been great. I researched online, books, and here to give them the best setup and safe food/treats. Then I make a stupid mistake of placing the snack...
