I have a grey male chinchilla that I am trying to find a new home for. I live in the Worcester, MA area. I am not sure of his exact age, we have had him for about three years. My guess is he's between 5-10 years old. My wife's friend gave him to us after they had him for a couple months, they...

I can't seem to find a good hay feeder/manager for my chin. I tried using the wooden ones that are sold at Petco and Petsmart. It worked well for a few months, then I accidently dropped it and one side of the top wooden bar came loose, it wasn't glued on one side so it stuck out a little bit...

I desperately need help trying to get my chin back into his cage every night. First off, I'm not sure what kind of structure his life has had. We got him from a friend about 3 months ago. Our friend had gotten him from a breeder for her kids. Her kid didn't clean the chin's cage like they...

We have a male chinchilla, not sure how old he is but probably 2-3 years old. We have chin-proofed a spare bedroom and let him out for about an hour every night. He has started urinating on the bed. The first time he did it was no big deal, just washed the comforter and sheets. But now he...

My chin had a watery eye for the past 2 weeks (as long as I've had him) so I took him to the vet and they said it's conjunctivitis. They gave me a anti-biotic cream to apply to his eyelid 2-3 times a day. Here's the problem, my wife and I have only had our chin for 2 weeks (but he's a couple...

I apologize for the long post... My wife and I just got our first chinchilla, we've had him for about a week and have a few questions. We got him from our friend who had gotten him for her kids. The kids didn't take care of him so after several warning she asked us if we wanted him. She got...
