    Where do your chins play?

    My 2 play in our bathroom which is pretty big. I wall off part of it with a gate and they have quite a large space to hang around in. I sit with them and they climb all over me which I love. They run around and wall surf; it's a riot watching them.

    Hay inside hut

    Sounds like they were using the hay to help keep the hut clean. I wouldn't do it; they need hay available to eat... you could put a small fleece pillow in there if your chin likes to sleep there.

    Hammock

    My 2 are using their hammock and also fleece pillows I have up on a high ledge. They did not use the hammock during the summer, but now that it's cooler they are using it. I don't know why that is.... but regardless, they're using it now. I'd hang it up and give it time.

    lifeline

    If I wanted to feed this as a preventative; say once a week; how is that done? Do you sprinkle it over the food? Thanks.

    Which do chins prefer?

    I bought Kleenmama's 2nd cut and my boys don't want to touch it. I tried again with the 3rd cut and they love it. It's very green and soft, and so it makes me feel like hmmm is this doing enough in the roughage / tooth wearing department? But, they like it and are eating it, which is more...

    Organic Dry Cranberries for Chins?

    I give my boys a piece of crushed rosehip or a couple of flakes of old fashioned oats; I usually alternate days. Today I thought I'd outsmart them and give them a piece of THEIR OWN FOOD as a treat! Well, guess what. I gave it to the gray standard (no, no names yet) and he looks up at me like...

    Easy to make toys.

    Chins like to chew so I would be afraid to put a mirror in the cage. Wood items are really good; if you can get some plain pine blocks cut down that would be cheap and they would love to chew those up! Look in the advertising section of the board here, there are a lot of great sellers that...

    The cage is a ferret nation cage and they are sold all over the internet and I think some Petsmart or Petco or something stores too. I got mine on ebay for a great price. The shelves are made by one of the posters here, lydz, husband. Thanks!

    washing water bottles

    Oh my. I'm using Dawn dishwashing liquid and hot water; letting the bottles soak for awhile, then scrubbing and rinsing. I'm not supposed to use soap? Ut oh! I thought about the dishwasher, but I was concerned that the heat would hurt the rubber 'gasket' thingy in the bottle cap, or ruin the...

    New To It All

    If you get the FN cage there is a place you can get pan replacements for the plastic that comes with the cage. Bass something or other; the link is definitely here somewhere. The pans are nice and deep, and hold in shavings / poop and the chins can't chew them. I'm really glad I got them.

    Cleaning Time with New Chinchillas

    So far I have left them in the cage; but they are getting so used to me that they're getting closer and closer to hopping out. I can see I'm going to have to put them in a carrier, or have my husband watch them in the bathroom while I'm cleaning. (Or better yet, he can clean... yeah right!!!) ;)

    Cage placement with fLying saucer

    A lot of people have good luck with Craigs list. I got a good price on ebay and that included shipping. And I know that others will give you some websites that have good deals sometimes. Good luck!

    Making the Flying Saucer sturdier?

    What was fun was attaching this in a FN cage. Had to use big washers in the back since there's not many horizontal bars. But it seems sturdy!

    rose hips??

    My little guys LOVE them. I have the crushed and they each get a tiny piece a day; must be about 1/100th of a rosehip, but wow do they like them!
