Final update.. Went to the vet yesterday and had the trimming. All seemed well and the vet said the procedure went great and to come back next week (but didn’t X-ray even though I explicitly asked..). Came home and he was dopey but thought all was well. After being home for a couple of hours I...

Just waiting outside the vets now... Thanks for that Amethyst. I did find some poop (albeit very small) in the cage yesterday but am not sure when those are from. Got some Critical Care in over the weekend but now am worried about his digestive tract as I wasn’t aware about that.. I plan to get...

I've posted on the forum for help a couple of times (thanks to all who have helped in the past) but wanted to share my story, among the many others, about how quickly things can go wrong. 10 days ago, my chin started heavily grinding up pellets and dropping them all around his bowl. He'd done...

Thanks for replying guys. The area the chin is kept has been 24-25C pretty much constantly, but our mini-heatwave is over and temp is going back down to 20-22C. Honestly I didn't know what to do with the heat - like I said we don't do A/C in houses here (even my car doesn't have A/C!) and he...

Hello all, I haven't posted here in a while since I first got my chin. He is now 3.5 years old roughly and in the past 3-5 days has developed a weird new behaviour that I am beginning to worry may be malo. I feed Science Selective Chinchilla pellets (UK) and suddenly he has started to break them...

My male chinchilla is usually pretty good at cleaning himself, but I noticed by chance today that the base of the penis (when retracted) is slightly discoloured - it seems like a kind of greyish/blue/brown colour. I haven't been able to get him to sit still to have a proper look but does this...

Okay, thank you!

Hi everyone. So my chinchilla is almost five months old now and whilst out shopping the other day I stumbled upon a product called 'Chinchilla's Herbal Forage' I am wondering if firstly, it is safe for chinchillas (I will post ingredients below), if it would count as a treat and whether only...

Is this any better?

Finally for a picture! Is this better?

I'll try to get another picture when it's light again tomorrow :)

Hello everyone. So I just got my chin last Tuesday but can't seem to determine the gender. I was at first told it was a male and then a female! I have tried to look myself with little to no luck. There is a small pink protrusion pointing towards the chins head which leads me to think it may be...
