Thank you!!!!

Our female chinchilla has become extremely violent towards everything and everyone. We think she is hurt in some way but we can't be sure how until Friday when we can take her to a vet. She is attacking her 19 day old kit and rejecting him totally. The father chin had to be separated an hour...

Have you got any more of the 4-5 in 6$ perches or the small half perches left?

She needs to start retaining electrolytes too. Put a teaspoon of Gatorade in with her water bottle. This recommendation came from the vet of a distinguished zoo nearby and a lifetime chin owner.

Chins that are adopted young and live alone are typically very territorial and reluctant to new chins in their area. This isn't always the case there are exceptions. The opposite is also true and that's what we are dealing with currently. Chins who are used to play mates and have bonded with...

I managed to get a contact (a friend of a friend's friend sort of thing) and got in contact with a zoo vet here in Arkansas. They came and saw our new chin, Lady Grey, and told us we need to stop giving her hay and only give her the oxbow food we have so that we can push any of the bad stuff she...

She has pooped 2 times since yesterday. No goopy eyes or lumps. The fir has some tufts sticking out but no major baldness. There hair is really scare around her arms and legs but mostly around the legs. Her hair is courser than our other chins and overall just not as healthy looking.

Hey everyone, my wife and I answered a cry for a new home for a chin. We picked her up today and the poor thing is malnourished and shedding. She is about a year old and was bought at a pet store and sold by individuals who knew nothing about chins. Her old owners help her in a larger shoe box...

One of our chins has slowly become more and more aggressive. Even down to getting the treats from our other chin. What should we do? We have the critter nation so we do have the option of seperating them if we need. Is there anything we can do to promote less aggressive behavior?

Yes we have 2 females now!

We have 2 lovely chinchillas. They live in a critter nation cage, have wonderful toys they love and now have their own water bottles. One one of them recently became very territorial over the water bottle and the wheel. They eat together and sleep on top of each other and get along in all other...

Hey again everyone, we want to update you on our babies and ask some more questions. First off, we separated the chins and will not try to breed them. Thanks so much to everyone for the opinions. We admit that we bought them on impulse but after reading so much on this site, we are now prepared...

My wife and I recently got 2 chinchillas from our local pet store. We have a boy and a girl. The pet store manager gave us a fantastic deal and told us to look in to breeding them. Do you think they will have babies?? Also, we are wondering what sort of toys they enjoy that are safe for them...
