    Litter pan?

    Hello, it's been forever since I've posted on here. Anyways, I switched years ago from a pyrex pan to a metal corner litter pan which i LOVED because it had a high back and would hold the fleece liners down. Unfortunately, it just succumbed to rust. I cannot for the life of me figure out where...

    DIY Fleece Liners?

    I think I'll try with binder clips. I have one of the metal litter pans (I forget where it's from, it's the one that a lot of people on here have) and I use binder clips to lock that onto the cage and it works excellently. I think if I put heavy objects they'll just move them. those little...

    Bass Pans - Regular or Stainless Steel

    I have the bass regular pans, and use pine bedding. one of my chins is litter trained and the other just won't pick it up (very unfortunately) I've had my pans for a little over a year and there are some spots on the bass pans that are really rusting (they choose to pee in certain places). I...

    DIY Fleece Liners?

    one of my chins is litter trained and one isn't. the one I got when she was young learned very quickly, but the one that i adopted was already 2 and had never picked up on the litter training thing. it's very unfortunate. my first chin does tend to chew through everything so I'd want all the...

    Do you think this is bad for my chinchilla at night?

    make sure you keep the temperature at 68 degrees or lower at all times too

    Dust bath ingredients

    Blue cloud dust is the way to go. You also don't leave the bath house in there for more than 10 minutes or so, monitoring them the whole time. So if you use other dust, you can make sure they're not eating it while they have it in their cage.

    Lots of questions!

    honestly, I don't think you should get a chin right now. I don't think you'd be able to live with them in a dorm room. They are EXTREMELY loud at night. I can hear them when im in my bedroom with the door closed and the air conditioner is on and they're in the living room. They are very very...

    Is this water safe for my chinbabies

    I second the pur filter! I absolutely love it. I only drink water from it, and my dog and chins do as well. Water tastes great and is definitely worth the cost!

    Chin chewing exposed wood, question

    You can use either pine or aspen wood as long as they are kiln-dried. You can get either of those in bedding at normal pet stores like petco and petsmart. Never give the chins anything with fabric unless its blizzard fleece or polar fleece, make sure that there are no stitches showing though...

    How cold is too cold for my chin?

    David- 75 is too hot for chins, definitely not too cold. I think it's generally a rule to keep them at 72 degrees or below.

    wet???

    also- to my knowledge (I took her in from someone that didn't want her in June....good thing I did too the cage was all plastic and they weren't feeding her hay and they were feeding her bananas...) she has never bred or anything

    wet???

    So today when I got up and went to go visit my chins, I noticed that my 2ish y.o. female's butt was covered in liquid (I think pee). I've never noticed this before but I am currently having trouble litter training her- could this be why? Please tell me it's not wet tail or something =[

    I heard from a really good breeder than elmer's glue is absolutely fine because it's nontoxic

    Bedding

    I've heard from multiple people that carefresh should be avoided at all costs- but I'm not an expert and haven't personally used it, but I would still avoid it I use aspen wood shavings in her litter box and it doesn't seem to smell much at all- it only smells like fresh wood which is a rather...

    New Chinchilla Help Please!

    1. I don't think you can really train them, but at the beginning (mine was also a 2 month old chin!) she hated being held but eventually she started jumping in my hands when I put them in the cage. I think it just comes with time but also depends on the chin. When she does go in your hand maybe...

    Food?

    I've been feeding my chin the same food that she was on when I got her. It's Kaytee and I've heard how horrible it is. The particular one I've been feeding her is the Kaytee Forti-Diet. I want to switch her to a better food but what food would you guys recommend? Also, when switching her...

    Eating pee soaked shavings?

    I'm actually covering it with untreated pine wood. My grandpa cut out pieces that fit perfectly in the cage. I didn't want to use fleece because she actually eats fleece. I spent a whole day making a bed for her out of blizzard fleece with no stitches showing and she ate holes in it Sent from...

    Eating pee soaked shavings?

    Okay thanks guys for reassuring me that she won't get sick or anything from it! I just don't know what to do because she won't pee in the Pyrex dish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
