She is eating some pellets, though, so I think that's counter-indicative of a tooth problem. And yes, I know Lifeline is just a supplement. She still has free access to her PANR and hay. :) If I were to get some Calf Manna, how much would I feed? Would it go along-side her pellets? I'm...

The vet did not do any x-rays or blood or stool samples. Her teeth look externally healthy, and she is able to eat pellets and chew on sticks...she just doesn't seem to want the pellets. Like I said, though, the vet does want me to come in again if she drops any more weight, and they would do...

Okay, so, I brought Suki to the vet. They weighed her, did a quick physical, and checked her teeth. She weighs 393, has perfect teeth, and is perfectly healthy, though a bit on the slim side...that was it. The vet said to just give her some more time. And ya know what the li'l stinker did on...

She has not been showing any signs of wet eyes, but pellet crumbling, some. I think that that is mostly due to her eating a part of the pellet and then dropping the remainder back in her bowl. So it's not really crumbling, but munching, I guess... Either way, she will be going to the vet on...

She has been eating some pellets and hay, just never enough to make me comfortable with her intake...

I've had her for about two months now, and immediately switched her to Oxbow. The reason I began hand-feeding her is because she wasn't eating the Oxbow and was losing weight, and I was beginning to worry. She'd been eating only 10g a day, and after a few weeks of that I'd had enough and got...

First, let me apologize for starting another thread about this, but this one is a bit more specific and in a different forum. So, my little Suki is just that...little. She's about a year old and has a larger frame than my 7-month old boys, but weighs roughly 150 grams less - only about 400...

So, Suki currently weighs 408 grams, so she is gaining...slowly... Could it be that Suki was taken from her mother too early, and that it stunted her growth? The lady I got her from said that she was about 9 months old at the time...and that she'd had her for 8 months. At the time I thought...

He hasn't been on an alfalfa diet since he was really young, though... I switched them by the time they were four months old to Oxbow, before that they were on the bulk stuff from our local petstore, then I put them on Sunseed Sunaturals (with all the "goodies" picked out) for less than two...

So, one of my boys occasionally pees on himself. I don't know how and I don't know if it's a real issue or not... He's got a large yellow stain on his tummy, though. And when I was looking at this today, I also noticed that he has some sort of a pimple on his urethral cone. It's just a...

Thanks Everyone! I ordered some PANR, and will get her started on that later this week when it shows up. I'll keep you all updated on how she's doing!

So, I just got a scale to weigh everyone. The boys are currently 6 months old and each weighed in at about 520 g. Suki is roughly a year old, but weighs in at only about 400 g. She's way tiny...and even though she has a larger frame than the boys, she's so terribly skinny (the boys, on the...

Hi Sarah!!! It's really great to see a fellow Montanan on here!!!

Okay, thank you for the info. No more co-ed playtimes. And starleomach.... I didn't think they would feel any arousal nor the need to fight at all after neutering... Neutering removes the testicles, which produce testosterone, which drives sexual behavior and aggression. We learned this in...

So, I have two male chinchillas and a female (in separate cages, of course). We have had a few very closely supervised co-ed playtimes, where they are all in a small area and both my boyfriend and I are there to observe and make sure nothing..."happens". The two males, ChickaChickah and...

Tiffany, that is such a cute picture!!! But yes, it's totally normal, at least for my boys. Charlie's favorite place to sack out is in his wheel.

I personally wouldn't use Advantage, or any other flea/tick treatment on your chinnies. Their fur should be too dense for fleas or anything else to get at them. Also, flea and tick treatments tend to be rather specific to the species. A dog treatment, if used on a cat, will make the cat very...

Sorry, but could someone please explain what exactly priming is? Is it like seasonal shedding?

If it doesn't have all of the hardware, you can call Midwest's customer service line and order a new set of hardware for a little over $7. I'll be doing this, because the hardware that came with mine is all rusted, and I want a pretty FN...lol.

I haven't started using fleece yet, but I know that we had a problem with one of our cats peeing on the carpet, dirty clothes basket, etc. We actually used ammonia in the wash when we had peed-upon clothes, and it got rid of the horrible stench. I don't know if it would work so well on chinnie...
