Nope. All wheels found in pet stores are too small for chins. Wheels need to be at least 14"(for a small chin) in diameter. Not only is it too small but it's plastic. Chin safe wheels must be bought online. The Chin Spin seems to be most popular, along with the Silver Surfer and the metal...

Does anyone have the measurements for making a pillowcase style liner? I always use another liner as a pattern but the best fitting ones are actually on the cage now :facepalm: So if anyone has the actual measurements, that would be awesome. I have the plastic pans from the CN 162(only the two...

http://www.hlntv.com/slideshow/2015/03/31/chinchillas-dead-alive-wisconsin-home-kids-filthy?sr=fb040115chinchillas11plink Here is another article about it. Not sure if they are the same, I saw this one on facebook so I thought I would post it.

I already weigh both my chins regularly. He had not gained nor lost any weight. I also weigh his food dish(after putting all the pellets back lol) to monitor how much he is eating and his eating habits haven't changed. He's literally done this since I got him so it's become a normal thing. I...

One of my chins consistently spills his pellets. I swear, he shovels them out of the dish. However, he never likes to finish them. He only likes holding the longer pieces and once they get too short, he tosses it and picks up another longer pellet. I can hand him a small piece and he drops it...

Found one for sale for $75 It seems a bit dirty(it was sitting outside so that's to be expected) and is missing the pans... Might have a little big of rust. Otherwise it seems in good condition. I honestly don't need it at the moment but I was thinking... Why not? Lol Opinions?

Definitely don't neuter him. Unless there is a medical problem that neutering will fix, don't. Some chins who do manage to make it through the surgery die during the healing process. Buy another male if you really want to give him a friend but know they may not bond at all. The chins will get...

My chins absolutely love Small Pet Select. They've never eaten hay like this before so I would definitely give it a try. When I first got it, they loved it so much that they didn't even leave a mess behind. They ate all of it :D Now they're a little messier and will toss certain pieces but...

You don't want to go throwing them in a cage together if it is home to one chin already. The best method involves a neutral cage. This means you must scrub it down, get all new ledges, rearrange things differently than they were before, etc... You want to remove any ownership over that cage...

Most people say once a chin draws blood, NEVER put them together again. I wouldn't risk it... They're obviously not compatible.

One of mine managed to pull a cord through his cage and he chewed it nearly in half. He got a pretty good shock as well. Luckily he was fine, it could have been much worse. They always find ways to get to things they shouldn't have, so definitely take more precautions! I agree though, she...

That cage looks great! Everything I wanted to say was already mentioned. :] Where did you get your ledges?

If you're going to be gone for 24 hours you want someone to check in on him. The longest I leave mine is 24 hours and I always have someone checking in on them at least once that day. I am more concerned in the summer since temperature is an issue. But yeah, you don't want to leave him go too...

Both of my chins are litter trained. Neither were before I got them, I just worked with them. The first one took to it like he knew exactly what he was doing, while the other took a bit of work. He will still pee elsewhere on occasion but he uses the pan for the most part. You can give it a...

Thanks! I emailed them a bit ago but they haven't gotten back to me yet :/

These are old photos, I haven't gotten around to taking new ones yet. Both cages are freshly stocked with sticks and hanging toys. They look a little bare in these pictures but I switch them out. I've also made some new types of hanging toys that are now in there. I want to hang some from the...

I'm not looking to purchase any at the moment, but I'd like to know who sells mulberry on a regular basis. I'd be ordering a medium box, and I'd be interested in sticks, whirlies and coins. If anyone knows who sells them, let me know so I can make a note! I know Ronda sells mulberry(I got my...

I use fleece sewn together like a pillowcase, and I slip it on the pan(I leave extra so I can tuck it under). You don't want to use any other fabric in the cage.

It's possible, but I dunno if you can do it without taking the entire thing apart. You should be able to though.

Welcome :D
