    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...

    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 =[

    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?

    Okay so I'm trying to potty train my chin to pee in a dish. I bought a Pyrex dish and got aspen wood shavings. I took the pee soaked shavings and put them inside the dish. As soon as I put that in her cage she ran over and immediately began eating them one by one...... And she hasn't stopped...

    Help!!

    Okay so my chin was sitting on my arm and she reached down and pulled thread off my hoodie and ate it. I tried to get it from her but it was impossible. (She had pulled the thread out yesterday and I still had it hanging there. I know I should have taken it off) I'm really really worried. Do I...

    general check up?

    I've had my chin for a few months now and she was 5 months old when I got her. I havent taken her to the vet yet because I'm concerned about the cost because I'm just a college student and I dont work. However, I know that my chin needs the best care and I love her and want to make sure she's...

    Shedding/hair slip

    So tonight the fire alarm in my apartment building went off and I had to grab my chin and shove her into a carrier to take outside. There were a lot of people and a lot of noise and I think that stressed her out. She won't come into my hands like she normally does and she has loose hair...

    Wood house

    My grandpa is making my chin a wood house out of safe wood and pegging it together. I was thinking of painting it to make it cuter- what type of paint could I use that if she chews/eats it, it would be safe/okay? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    chinchilla bed?

    So I got my chinchilla a hanging bed (made for ferrets) and she seemed to absolutely love sitting in it. However, after about a week I came out into the room one day and it was hanging down because she had chewed through one of the things that holds it. I see a ton of pictures of other...

    Water Filtration System?

    Okay so I read somewhere on here that you need to get a filter that filters out a ton of stuff- including giardia. Someone said the PUR 3 was the best, so I went out and bought it- turns out it doesn't fit on my faucet (I don't think any filter will). So I was looking at pitcher filters but...

    hi everyone =]

    Hey guys! I recently got a five month old chinchilla whom I named Cookie! She's so cute and sweet but not cuddly yet, but I'm hopeful that it will be soon! I found out about this forum through someone I met at a party who happened to be a top chinchilla breeder! I live in Connecticut. I've...

    new chinchilla biting/chewing

    I just got a 5 month old chinchilla and she's pretty friendly, but wont let me pet her or pick her up. Whenever she climbs on me she chews EVERYTHING. My bracelet, my clothes, my fingers. Will this stop as she gets older? Is there any way I can train her to stop?
