    Cuttle Bone

    I bought Gary a Cuttle bone today because I read on here that it is good for them. However, Gary has been chewing on it so much that I wouldn't doubt that he'll eat it all by tonight. Is it safe for him to have that much in such a short time period? I pulled it out for now but I still don't know...

    Chins, natural snake killers?

    I wouldn't want to tempt fate by putting a snake in Gary's cage just to see what'd happen.

    Big Day for Gary!

    Hi Everyone! Gary had a big day today.. Before he had a regular cage with just a 1 platform to jump up to that was only 1/3rd up the height of the cage. Well I had bought an aspen board and finally today, had it sawed into pieces and made 2 more platforms for him to jump on and chew. He now has...

    not drinking much at all...HELP!

    I had the same problem. try squeezing the bottle so the water slowly drips out. Gary is capable of using it himself but loves when I squeeze it so he can get a lot of water at 1 time instead of small amounts often.

    Water bowl to water bottle

    I recently just made the same switch with Gary. Only problem I had, the bottle seemed to be a little defective and doesn't like to put out much water.. but the raisin did the trick. Now I just need to get a new water bottle, Gary really only will drink from it if I squeeze it so water drips out.

    Chinchillas and Traveling

    I took Gary to work with me one day last week. He loved the attention. I felt a little bad too because he had to stay in his carrier all day (it was a last minute need to take him to work) but he was fine. Definietely better than I expected.

    Is he trying to bite me?

    Where can I find Yucca? Is it something that'd be at a pet store or a home improvement store like Menard's/ Lowes?

    Lost 1 day Old Kit please help!

    I'm so sorry, I'd be really worried too. I'd let the mother out every hour or so just to try to attract the kit from where they are hiding. I know if i were a kit, i'd be looking for my mama. good luck!!

    How do I get my chin used to me?

    Start out gradually. Any time the chin gets stressed or scared, it acts as a set back because they rebuild any metaphoric walls they may have let down. I've had my chin for about 3 weeks and started out by just sitting next to him and let him smell me. Since I've been working with him, I can pet...

    Is he trying to bite me?

    Thanks for your opinion! I checked the apple juice I have and it was "no sugar added" but like you said, did contain sugar. Right now, since he's my first chin I worry that he will get bored with his toys and chews. I usually buy him new stuff weekly and rotate it to keep him interested. But...

    Is he trying to bite me?

    Thanks for the info! I did also want to ask your opinion on one other thing.. I read today about soaking pieces of wood in apple juice and drying them in the oven. Have you ever heard of anyone else doing that? Do you think it'd be unsafe for any reason?
