    Name ideas?

    How about Bing? (I know, different Crosby, but I think it's a cute name. :P)

    Rat help

    I haven't known many (well, okay, ANY) rats that liked the Oxbow Regal Rat food. For some reason it doesn't seem to be very palatable to many rats. (I've known about a dozen rats who were on that feed and not one of them liked it.) Maybe the rats in my experience were all just weird statistical...

    Clist and breeders

    The actual "rule" is that Craigslist prohibits sale of the following: "- Household pets of any kind including but not limited to dogs, cats, primates, cage birds, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, fish. Re-homing with small adoption fee OK - Pet animal parts, blood, or fluids - including but not...

    Prince of Persia

    I griped about the Friesian as well. :D It's Hollywood's "go-to" breed when they want something that looks cool. My favorite "bad use of a Friesian" was in the movie "The Mask of Zorro", when Anthony Hopkins' character describes Zorro's horse as a "black Andalusian". *facepalm* Though somewhat...

    Accidental Breedings

    No. Rabbits can do it too, and so can some other species which have well-defined uterine horns.

    Rabbit acting weird

    Things will probably eventually "even out" for the most part, though I highly recommend getting him neutered if he's just going to be a house pet. It'll reduce or eliminate quite a few "bad" behaviors, such as spraying and humping, and I've found that neutered pet rabbits are just generally...

    Rabbit acting weird

    I don't think it's that unusual. My rabbits love to be let out, but then once they're out, they sometimes decide that they just want to chill. They feel that their cages are a safe place to do that, but they still like to have the "option" of going back out if they want. If he is going through...

    Manna pro sho

    There are some differences which you can see below. There is enough difference between the two that occasionally animals won't switch easily from one formula to the other. Purina Advanced Nutrition Rabbit Show Formula GUARANTEED ANALYSIS Crude Protein, not less than 16.0% Crude Fat, not less...

    Rabbit acting weird

    How old is he? A lot of times, when rabbits hit puberty at 4-6 months, their attitudes will change and they'll become much more stand-offish than they were as babies.

    Quality Cage Company is AMAZING

    I've had really good experiences with QC as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and I've never had any problems with the townhome I have, as far as rattling or anything. I also really like that the cage is collapsible if necessary. The one thing I have noticed, like others here, is...

    What color are we?

    That baby definitely looks ebony to me.

    New to Chins, bringing in a rescue today

    Congrats on your new chin! I hope that you dodged a bullet and she's not pregnant. By the way, she is indeed a beige.

    What would you do?

    The only cases in which I might expect the breeder to pay me back the full amount for chins I purchased would be if the breeder contacted me and asked me if they could buy the animals back, OR if the chins I purchased were ill and/or died shortly after I got them home. If I bought an animal and...

    simply chintastic

    I got a daybed from them a couple of years ago, and I thought the quality was great. However, my chins decided it was a toilet and ruined it within a few months. *rolls eyes* I would definitely buy something from them again though, and in fact I've recently been considering doing just that.

    putting my first dog to sleep tom :(

    I'm sorry you have to make that decision. It's incredibly difficult to lose a beloved pet and it's even worse when you have to be the one who decides when to say goodbye. I can't tell you whether you should be there when your dog passes, as that is a personal decision, but I will say that my...

    Need advice on cage change

    I wouldn't put the guinea pig in a Ferret Nation. They don't need more than about 8 inches of vertical space in their cage, since they don't do any jumping or climbing. All that vertical space would be wasted. And yes, you should be able to keep her in the same room as your chins. I've been...

    Argh! Craigslist people!!

    Aren't chins and degus both native to Chile? I've seen one or two Craigslist ads which claimed that the degus for sale were "chinchillas". I guess I can understand the idea of not calling them "degus" if they're not allowed where you live (not that I agree with it, necessarily). Some people...

    Mad Chin Farts?

    Sure they can. Gas is produced in their intestines and moves through, eventually being expelled through the anus. Chinchillas cannot BURP, and the gas produced in their stomach can cause bloat. (Chins, like other animals, can also get bloat from excessive gas in the intestines, but it's not...
