Hi guys, There's a possibility I will be getting a hedgehog soon, depending on whether or not my landlord permits me to have one. Anyway, I have a few questions about their care. 1. Is there a specific type of fleece/material that needs to be used as liner, or is any type okay? Would I be...

I'm going to college this fall, and I have to decide what to do with my chinchilla... She is about 6 years old, lives in a Ferret Nation, and has a nasty habit of chewing her fur. Total sweetie, has never sprayed, and I just love her to pieces. I need to decide whether or not to keep her... )...

Hi! I've tried a lot of different tactics for potty training. My chin's potty pan is huge, I've moved it around to different spots she pees at, but then she just pees somewhere else... There are two or three different spots, and it seems like when she does pee in the dish, it's by chance...

So... I'm thinking about becoming some kind of wildlife photographer when I'm older. (Wouldn't that be the coolest job everrrr?!) Of course, I have no idea yet if that'll work. But do you guys think I have any talent? Please, be ruthless. I know there's a TON of people who would like to be...

What are your thoughts on zoos? Obviously, we're all animal lovers here, so what do you think? Honestly, I don't think they're very good. I mean, I think some animals belong in cages (like chinchillas lol),. But that's when someone cares for and love and spoils it. Most of the animals in...

I've decided my cage isn't big enough for my chin. It's not small, but I'd like her to have more room. (: Anyway, I was thinking about buying her a new one, but now I'm wondering how hard it is to make one? I mean, do you have to have a lot of experience in building? It'd be just a simple...

I found a cage on craigslist that is 2ft by 2ft and 3ft tall. It has two doors, a pull out tray for cleaning, and the seller says it's in good condition. Would it be a good cage for my chin, is it big enough and everything? (Of course, I'd take out the wire ledges.) If I do get it, do I...

I live in tornado alley. What do I do with my chin during a tornado? Where her cage used to be was pretty protected, it was in a windowless bathroom right next to the safest room in the house. Now, her cage is in windowed room, and not as safe during storms. Recently, we had some tornadoes...

Okay, once again I have questions. XD Fleece - I heard on a different website that as long as it's not a fleece liner, fleece doesn't need to be anti-pill or blizzard. (Since they don't pee on it as much and it doesn't need to be washed.) So, for things like hammocks, would this material be...

Hey guys, I wanted to make a summary of chinchilla rules so I can print it off and never be in doubt about if I'm remembering something correctly or not. If you can, can you approve that it's right, and give other suggestions on things to add? What I'm going to be printing: Chinchilla Rules...

I've been a pretty horrible chinchilla owner for a while now. :S And I want to change that, so I need some advice. Problem 1: My chin's fur is pretty badly chewed. On both sides. I've read that this is most likely due to being bored. So, that said, does this mean if she has better...

I'm out of chinchilla pellets. I heard that old fashioned oat meal is okay. Does this include Quaker Oats? 100% Whole-Grain (and yes old fashioned, too)? Do you give it to them plain? How much? Can it be fed to them instead of pellets? Pellets are expensive... If not, any cheap pellets...

Hi, my name is Ellie and I own one chinchilla. I've had her for a little longer than a year. I can't say I've been the best owner...I haven't done anything bad or anything, I'm just not always the most attentive to her...which I'm hoping to change, with the help of CnH (: She chews her fur...
