    Unexpected Baby Chinchilla

    There is actually a chance that she was bred back before even giving birth, separate and keep separate. I think it's hard to say "smaller than other chinchillas" without having them there to actually compare. Kits vary in size greatly. Right now you're number one concern is separating and a...

    Advice needed for chin not eating

    Do you see her eating or by the food dish? The two girls I had never had any signs of issues, they'd snuggle, groom each other the whole works... Have you tried someone like LifeLine? That would have the probiotics and Vit B probably...

    Advice needed for chin not eating

    Have you moved her into her own cage? I had two sisters that got along great, but one hogged all of the food, she wouldn't let the other eat. Was never any fighting or anything, it got to the point where the one "gave up" eating hardly anything because she wouldn't fight for it... could be an...

    Dwarf care information

    I am going to have to disargree with Jim on this one. I had several dwarves here, Becca was 12 years old when I rehomed the whole colony. Smidgen I had since she was about 3 months, she was small for her age, but blocky and compact like you fella, and she was 5 or 6 when the colony was rehomed...

    Large wood lot and Edstrom valves/collars/misc

    Wood is pending sale! Valves and misc are still available. If anyone is interested in the valves but not the collars and stuff let me know and I can split them up. I used the valves on my in house pet cages. The valves themselves run about $5 each from AgSelect.

    Patches of fur gone on nose and foot.

    I agree it looks like a fungus, you can take her to the vet to be sure, or if you have a black light fungus will illuminate under it as well. I use a mix of 1/3 each - petroleum jelly, miconozole (for yeast infections in women), and betadyne. Mix it up and put a very thin layer on, it will...

    Fleece Lining Filler

    I'd use terry cloth aka bath towels for best absorbancy.

    Large wood lot and Edstrom valves/collars/misc

    Cleaning out stashes that I've had stored away as it's time to let stuff go and get remodeling underway. I have a very large box of mixed wood, all kinds and shapes. Cottonwood, ash, apple, mulberry, and probably a bit of others mixed in. Whirlies & coins (mostly drilled), sticks of all sizes...

    Rescue breeding pair ? Advice please!!

    The chance of complications on a third pregnancy is greatly reduced unless she has had issues with the first ones. Really it's up to you if you want the challenge. Most people are saying don't do it, but in reality because you care to learn, you're probably the best option, especially off CL...

    Roo's dental and full body x-rays.Opinions

    From the side I see where it looks like it could be a tumor, but the AP view it looks like R) sided pneumonia that we see in a lot of our stroke patients from aspiration. Usually if you had a hiatal hernia it would be on the L) side, but I see something on the R). If you look at your lateral...

    My chin has a bald patch above nose, what's this?

    It looks to me like cage rub. What kind of spacing do you have on your cage wire and which way do they run? If you have horizontal bars and your chin likes to push it's nose out... that's where the fur is going. You can check for ringworm by examining the area with a black light, the fungus...

    Is this normal Chinchilla breathing?

    Looks like normal chin to me. I personally avoid taking my animals of any sort to the vet unless it's completely necessary. People take their very sick animals into the same rooms as you bring in a healthy animal for a check up. They wipe down the tables and such, but not the floor and chairs...

    Wisdom teeth?

    I ended up having to get rocephin shots in my rear... and now back on orals. Still a lot of congestion and drainage, at least my ears don't hurt anymore. The tops are healing great, but the bottom has a big hole yet, the other bottom side was impacted so it was taken out the side. I didn't...

    Sleeping during the day?

    Chins don't crawl away and sleep all day like many other "nocturnal" animals. Although they are more active as night, I wouldn't personally call domestic chins nocturnal, they wake often during the day to eat or play and that's normal. They just tend to be more awake in the evening & early...

    Wisdom teeth?

    Anyone have issues with having their wisdom teeth pulled? I have mine pulled over 3 weeks ago now. I am on several drugs for some health issues two of them who's side effect is immune system suppression, the other one's main purpose is immune system suppression. The oral surgeon knew about...

    Still having babies!

    No worries, about judging. Everyone has their own thing. I have my opinion, others have theirs... My ideal is not everyone else's. :D I'm thinking it's about time I make a trip over to see how everyone's doing once I get better. Currently rocking a nice whole face infection issue from having...

    Over a year and my chins still don't like me

    If you want a lap pet, or a pet that runs up and greets you, a dog is for you. Chins never got the notice. But I'm sure in the last year they've trained you well to do their "dirty work" for them!
