Grab a silver surfer wheel! My boy has that and he absolutely loves having a sturdy aluminum wheel he can spread out on!

I just thought I would share one of my tricks for keeping my boys cool since here in upstate NY we just had a 2 week heat wave where it was up to 80 almost every day in the middle of march... To keep them cool i put some vodka in their water and they seem to loosen up and relax... JUST KIDDING...

I've got a big boy and he fits in the Silver Surfer just gret!

I'm looking to switch from paper pellet bedding to fleece. What are the pros and cons? I am looking for something that is easy to clean but also low odor. I find that the paper pellets smell just fine for 1.5 weeks before I need to clean the whole cage. How does fleece do on smell? if your...

My boy was on Mazuri for a month or two with no issues but then all of a sudden it was giving him soft poops. Looking for advice on a new pellet. Most likely going to mix with Mazuri cause he is fine with a little and I have so much... Im a little nervous about rabbit pellets but if they work...

Would you say that bottled water is better or worse than Pur3 filter? Also, fecal test done at the Vet? Do you know what those usually cost?

CONGRATS! All your hard work pays off, for you and a happy Charlie! Score one for love and care!

as soon as I saw the poos I switched from brita filter to straight bottled water

My boy has been having softer poop for a few days now. Im trying to isolate the problem but its tough, I am leaning towards the Mazzuri pet food because I have heard people say it causes softer stool. The problem started when I got him new hay. The pet store didn't have any Kaytee's timothy so I...

I have my cage on a tall card table and he cant get on or off of it so i open the cage door and use a 2x4 as a ladder for him to have constant access to his cage when he is out. He is much more comfortable when he knows he can get in and out, think about a ramp that he can climb!

I have a similar thing! I let my boy out in my room and I will sometimes go out and check something and come back in. sometimes when I come back in he freezes and then makes a MAD DASH from wherever he is back into the top corner of his cage. I think he feels most safe there, he lets me pet him...

I dont have the door closed the whole time. Just for about 30-40 minutes durring that time so he gets his excercise and I'm trying to get him more used to the room. when the door is open and hes allowed to go in and out he is supervised. I only leave for short periods to go grab something.

I am in college right now and when I have my chin at my apartment at school he has the run of the room from about 6pm till 2am usually when I go to bed. When I bring him home he gets less playtime because I am out and at my girlfriends a lot and he is usually out from around 10 until 2 but not...

Thanks for all the tips! I will try the vinegar solution first and then move on to other detergents

I havent used any kind of softener...

I made a fleece liner for my boys cage and when i dripped water on it to test it just beads up on top of the fleece. I read that you should wash and dry your fleece a few times so I washed and dried it at least 5 times, after the liner was already sewn together. However it still repels water...

Right now I have one male chinchilla and he is around 8 years old, still has a lot of energy but I'm worried he doesnt like his cage. I adopted him from a woman across town and he was in a cage that was WAY too small and had a little wheel in it as well. But I have moved him into a nice size...

He can get back into his, he has a ramp back up to it. I have stopped letting him out while I sleep and hopefully that will help. But there is no way that scratching him through the bars is as stimulating for him as letting him use my room as a big playground! He gets to sprint back and forth...

He has had the run of the room for quite some time now, the room is entirely chin proofed! He is an older boy so he runs around the room for a few minutes then will sit under my bed or go back into his cage. I dont plan on keeping him cooped up in the cage because he likes interacting with me...

My only boy Elvis gets to roam around my bedroom every night and he pretty much goes wherever he wants besides under my desk and on my bed. For the first 4 or 5 weeks he was with me he was an angel and never peed anywhere but his cage but now im starting to see spots on the floor where he peed...
