Bean has been doing great since his ordeal and now I'm in constant paranoid mom mode. No changes with his weight, he's been eating/drinking/peeing well. Last night I noticed that his poops were an odd shape, for him at least. I found this picture when I was researching it. His stools were...

In my opinion, unless you put high cage guards around the cage, you'll never keep the mess in Lol. Switching to fleece will remove the bedding mess but you'll still find poop and hay on the floor. There's really no way around it. Mine will climb the cage bars just to poop so it falls out...

I'm not talking about the packaging changes. I have found other stores that are selling the new packaging, so that packaging is not the reason Petsmart is not selling it. Petsmart has never stopped carrying the guinea pig, rabbit, etc... They just got food shipped in the new packaging. They...

They changed the packaging on all their foods... My local stores never stopped carrying the other brands during this switch, they just slowly switched over as new bags came in. They don't even have the price tag for the chin food in the store and it's no longer on Petsmarts website, which makes...

I'm currently on the phone trying to figure this out... But the food is no longer at any of the stores nearby and it's not online either. I thought perhaps it was out of stock in my stores and I was just unlucky, but I panicked when I saw it wasn't online as well. It's still available on other...

I didn't like using fleece but it worked okay. I just bought a bowl today so I'm going to try that. When I was shopping, I saw a ceramic/metal feeder and hay holder combo thing. The others are plastic or metal so I considered giving that a try, but I opted for the cheaper bowl instead. If he...

What do you find works best for holding hay? I don't like throwing it on the cage floor because he's more likely to pee on it. I used one of those cheap wooden ones forever ago and he chewed the **** out of it, keeping me awake. I've also tried fleece, but I'm undecided how I want to make it if...

So someone that I follow on instagram posted about how their chins had mites and they've been getting revolution(every 2 weeks for over a month) but it's not improving. I've been under the impression that mites cannot survive in their fur so I questioned it. They own piggies as well who the vet...

You can return it or cancel the order... I considered that over the CN but I decided that the lower price wasn't worth how the doors opened Lol. I'm glad I went with the CN, I can't imagine cleaning with only one door.

There are people who have tried neutering for the sake of keeping a pair together and they ended up with two separate cages anyway. When they're recovering, you need to keep the separated during that time. All that is enough to ruin the bonding between the two. Some almost lost chins after a...

I had tile and I actually switched, mostly because I never had them sealed so it was a pain to deal with. Cleaning wise, it was super easy... But when he decided to pee on the cracks, that's where I ran into problems. I didn't know if I was going to keep it or not so I didn't want to bother...

I wouldn't see why it's too young. My boy litter trained himself so I was lucky Lol. Give it a try and see what happens.

That chin definitely looks older than 9 weeks to me, looks more like a full grown adult. I agree with everything the above user stated. The noise was your chin barking, which is a chins warning call. They do this for odd sounds/smells, when they're scared, etc...

Definitely shoot ticklechin a message, nobody has more experience than she does. Like I said, I trust her judgement 100%. I've only seen a handful of chin rads personally so my experience is limited. I'm hoping that the issue is stable and it's really just the spurs that are giving her problems...

They rest on top of the grates, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to sit them on and you would have to take the cage apart? The plastic pans do not fit inside the Bass pans.

I definitely see some root elongation in those rads(my comp has crappy exposure that I never bothered to fix so it's difficult for me to see, but that's what it appears like on m end). Ticklechin is the person to ask, that's who I went to when I was having issues with mine. We just had a RE case...

Ceramic works just as well. I would still seal it. I found that mine started peeing outside his litter pan once I switched to tile. He would pee and it would run between the tiles and into the clay... So I switched back to fleece. Overall I liked the upkeep, but I never sealed them so I had to...

You need to separate them ASAP. Rather than neutering him, just separate them. A neuter on a chin is not a simple procedure like it is for other animals. Not only is it incredibly risky to put a chin under for anything, but you risk infection and antibiotics are hard on their little bodies...

Switching his pellets just worries me, I don't want to risk him not eating again. I was just concerned about the lack of Timothy in his diet. Do you think it would hurt to mix some GP Oxbow in with his own, or offer it in a different bowl maybe? I didn't think the Guinea pig formula was...

While my little guy has been eating great, he lost interest in his timothy. All he wants is alfalfa. I can get him to eat a little bit if I mix the two together, but all he will consistently eat a good amount of is alfalfa. He's on Oxbow so obviously only having alfalfa isn't good for him. I've...
