Okay so for kicks and giggles I decided to make my own mock informational chinchilla website. I know that there are a few out there, but I needed something to do and since I'm super in love with chinchillas I figured it'd be fun. So my question to everyone, is it okay to use some photos I find...

Yeah they've started chewing on the plastic. One day in particular they ate a good portion and it worried me. If they were persistent they could chew a hole. I may have to try using a thin wire mesh. My only concern would be getting the mesh to fit with the shape of the pan.

So long before I knew of the ferret nation and it's magic, I had spent my funds on a super pet cage. Only realizing after the fact that the FN would have been a far better investment. As you can see I modified the shelves it came with and put fleece on them. It's not a bad cage, very spacious...

I've been giving my chinchilla whole grain cheerios since those aren't high sugar. I stopped giving them seeds cause they were high in fat or something along those lines.

My bad, I could have swore that when I read one it said something about dried fruits being bad for chins. Why hasn't someone written a good book yet? I know there are lots of knowledgeable breeders out there that could.

This is a similar issue we have in America too. I went into a pet store and I noticed everything in their cage was made of plastic and I was discouraged from getting a cage made with wood shelves because they would chew through it. Granted, at the time I had no idea about how bad plastic was for...

I figure it was high time I posted pics of my two wonderful chinchillas. The standard is Mika and the pink white is Kiki. They have such varied personalities and it's awesome. Kiki is the more photogenic one. I'm so glad I own chinchillas. They make life far more interesting don't you think?

I regret watching the videos. Seeing people treat animals like that makes me sick :( I reported both videos.

OREGON: Two chins :)

You are a very lucky chin owner. Be proud!

Well hopefully when you get the results you can better figure out what to do. I'm sorry to hear about that. Relying on maintaining a certain weight for a scholarship would be very stressful I imagine.

Muscle weighs more than fat so if you are exercising a ton and are gaining weight it may actually be a good thing. I myself am only 5'5" and I weigh almost 140 lbs. You wouldn't believe that if you saw me haha. I squat and run pretty heavily. If I were to lose all my muscle I would drop down to...

The situation you described sounds almost identical to what I went through about 5 months ago. The difference was that I was with him 3 years as opposed to 7. We almost moved in together and I started to realize that it wasn't going to happen. I had all these hopes and aspirations of what my...

Speaking of craigslist, I found you two adds that are selling a ferret nation. One has a picture, but I'm unsure as to whether or not they are selling the cage with two lvls. The other doesn't have a picture. Hope this helps! http://easternshore.craigslist.org/for/3507355896.html (a little bit...

I think so! Hehehe it's kinda cute in a goofy way.

After a second look over I found a scab on her foot. Gonna put some petroleum jelly to see if I can stop it from cracking again! Thanks for the help!

Okay, in the event that she does what should I do? Would a tiny bit of lotion be harmful?

She is just over a year old and she is in her own cage next to another female. I have no males. I did check and everything looks okay. I had her in my bathroom running about and she didn't leave any blood on the floor. I'm starting to think she may have hurt her foot or something while I was away.

So a few days ago one of my chinchillas (though I'm not sure who) somehow found one of my ipod chargers and had a go at it. It looked like mostly the plastic was chewed but it also looked like some of the wire was pulled at. I had left for a day and returned the following night. They both...

So I watched the most interesting thing happen. After I put my chin into her newly cleaned cage, she peed, and then proceeded to start kicking up the bedding almost like a cat in a litter box. It was the most bizarre thing I had seen her do. Has anyone else seen their chinchillas do this? It's...
