Hi All, I have a quick question. Up until now I've been using a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 1 part water to clean my chinchilla's pans. The cleaning solution works well, but what I really don't like about it is the smell. The vinegar smell is so strong and pungent, which makes it extremely...

Hi all, I know this isn't really chinchilla related, but I just wanted to see if you guys could be of any help. A good friend of mine recently had one of her two ferrets pass away.

Hi all, So I've been wanting to start building my own chinchilla toys and supplies and I have a quick question; What type of glue is safe for chinchillas that I can use for building hidey houses and other toys? I've heard Elmer's Non Toxic Wood glue and Elmer's school glue is OK? Any...

Hi everyone, I was cleaning out my chin's cage today, and I noticed a few strands of hay in their holder look a little bit odd and I think it may be a little moldy. Luckily, I have a new shipment of hay from KMS Hay coming tomorrow afternoon (possibly Friday due to the snow here in NJ). So, will...

Hi All, I recently found out that my two chinchillas REALLY love timothy hay seed heads! (They're the fuzzy things that are on the ends of some pieces of timothy hay). My chinchillas will take them straight out of my hand and devour them like they're a favorite treat. However, this has got me...

Hi All, So, I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on my purchase of a new wheel for my two chins! I've been researching for a month and I've decided I either want to buy a ChinSpin or a Flying Saucer. I've heard so many great things about the Saucer, but I'm hesitant to purchase it. The...

Hi guys, I have a question for you guys. I have fleece bedding and once a week I have to take out all the fleece and wash it. So, when I'm washing all the fleece, I take my chinchillas out of their Critter Nation and put them into a smaller 3X2 ft carrying cage which I fill with pine shavings...

Hi all, I recently purchased 30 pounds of Oxbow Essentials Chinchilla Deluxe pellets online, but, lately I've been thinking about changing my food because the Oxbow price can be pretty steep. I was researching alternative foods and found that Mazuri chinchilla pellets are only $19 for 25 pounds...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to vacuum package their hay and/or pellets for long term preservation and storage? I own a Food Saver vacuum package machine, it's kind of like this one...

Hi all, I've been searching old posts on this forum and I've noticed that there've been TONS of people raving about Kleenmama's brand timothy hay. So, I went to their website and noticed that they sell both 2nd cut timothy hay, and 3rd cut hay. The 3rd cut sounded like a really good product...

Hi All, I had some free time this afternoon and decided to put together a little checklist of sorts for all of you who are thinking of buying a chin. This checklist lists all the supplies that you will need to have on hand before you bring home your chin. It also lists the price of every single...

Hi fellow chin owners! I'm in the market for a new chinchilla wheel or saucer and I just wanted to start this poll to get an idea of what type of wheel most people like for their chin. I also thought this poll might be helpful for other people who are looking for a wheel and want to know what...

Hi Everyone, I have some questions about Timothy Hay. There's a Tractor Supply near my house and they conveniently sell Hay and Chin pellets. However, my chins (I have 2) eat the pellets, but the pretty much don't touch the hay. so I was wondering, what's the matter? Do chinchillas naturally...

Hi Everyone, I recently added fleece bedding to my cage and since the fleece can be a little warm, I wanted to get some granite slabs for the cage to keep my chins cool. So, I wanted to know, since I don't want to buy a "chinchiller" (I've owned two and they were too expensive), is it OK to...
