Love it!

Yeah, I agree. Don't put them together again. It's not worth the risk.

Wow, I'm sorry you had such a rough first few weeks! That sounds really difficult to go through. You could get Furrell a friend and there are a few different introduction methods. There is the "cage within a cage" method, which would work without having to get another large cage. You would need...

My chin room stays between 65-68 in the winter. On rare occasions it can be a couple degrees cooler than that, if the temp outside is really low. Your temp is good, mine is on the high side...

Mya's a cutie! Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of chin ownership!

It wouldn't hurt!

Awww!!! Has he ever had a dust bath before? It took my baby chins a few times before they got the hang of it, but he will- don't worry! :D I bet that was so cute. I can't believe how active and jumpy baby chins are, either! We got a surprise when Chichi had kits (didn't have any idea she was...

Oh, Smudge is a beautiful chin!!!! What a fitting name too!

Well, I work full time and go to school. I interact with them every night (when I clean cages and give supplies) and then in the morning before I head off to work. I definitely don't give them as much time as in the summer when I don't attend classes. I have a single male chin and then a pair of...

Yeah, rushing an introduction isn't a good thing. If you look in the FAQ section, you will see how to properly introduce two chinchillas. Tunes is right though, there are some chins that simply don't want to be with another. It's just their personality. You could try again, but be prepared that...

If you check on the "Chin supplies for sale" board, you can find members here who make fleece hammocks. AnnieO makes really good ones. She has a FB page called "chinchic". Look her up!

Very sweet! Congrats on your new addition!

I am going through the same problem actually. I bought a hanging bed from Annieo (chinchic) and Tribble chewed one of the straps. I have no idea why he did it. He never did that before. I am afraid to sew it myself, because she makes her fleece items with seams on the inside to prevent chins...

She will be okay. It will take some adjusting. I have a single male chin and I bought him a cuddlebuddie made my Annieo here on the forum. She has a facebook page called "Chinchic". Check it out. He loves to snuggle with it. You could also just fill her cage with lots of toys to keep her busy...

Yeah, he probably has nails and you just can't see them. Then again, maybe he doesn't. Anything is possible. You don't have to worry about trimming them or anything like that. Just running around is enough to file the nails down.

Yes, it's not good for chins under six months to have excessive playtime. They need that energy to grow. You really have to be careful, because young chins can over do it really easy. I would keep his playtimes very short (like 10 mins) if you give playtimes at all. I don't see anything wrong as...

I have no idea, but that is one awesome cage!!! I love it!!!

Is he pooping, eating, drinking? I hope you made an appt. because chins can go downhill very fast!

Sorry to hear this. RIP Sydney

Were these chins together before you adopted them? It sounds like they were just put into a cage together without any introduction? That's not going to work and they will fight for their territory and dominance. It really seems like they will need separated. If I were you, I'd separate them...
