My little guy Ori, as seen on the left ;) has recently (in the past couple months) started biting my husband when he enters the room. What's weird is Ori used to be super happy to see my husband. They'd play this game we'd call "Happy Pants" because Ori would get in the opening of my husband's...

Also, what did you use to transport her to the vet?

I know bunnies can have that reaction when overly scared and can have little bunny heart attacks. The more I read, the more it seems that none of them like being held. Maybe the vet can give you something to give her before you leave the house so she'll be ok during the car ride and then is...

They can't give her anesthesia when they handle her? I'd personally be horrified if I had to experience that tooth treatment and be aware.

I've noticed my little guy has a bald spot just above his right hand. I've seen him nibble at it a few times but it isn't red or look like a fungal irritation. He has lots of room (unpopular opinion, but his own room infact), things to chew and places to jump around, but I do wonder if he just...

OMG! I am so sorry 😭

How's she doing?

Thank you for the update! Hopes that you won't have to use the cone.

I took one of the wooden houses, took the top off and filled it with the 2nd cutting hay (which he seems to prefer most). He will perch on the top pull a strand out, eat half, and throw the rest on the ground. After he makes a little pile and leaves, I just scoop it up and mix it back in. And...

Oh my goodness! I didn't even know what pyrometra was, had to look it up. I hope she's doing better.

Do check out "Small Pet Select". They provide really great information on chins, food and treats plus have an amazing selection of high quality hay products. And unlike pet stores, their chin treats are actually appropriate because they don't have fruit or things that spike sugar. Also...

Awww, he's modest

If your chinchilla likes being held, it shouldn't be too difficult to check. Mine doesn't, so I have to get my husband to hold him best he can while I attempt to unsheath him. I check often by just looking at it while he's cleaning himself and have only had cause to remove something twice when...

You do have to admit, chins with hats are adorable 😍 and I'm upset mine won't sit still long enough to even get regular non-blurry photo 😆

I'd say definitely not a good idea. The sleeping during the day because they are nocturnal aspect would be a big problem for the chins if forced to br active. Also, not all chins like to be held, so if they go to jump & run and someone inexperienced is holding them, trys to prevent them from...

I had to give mine some meds in a syringe recently too. I didn't know what I was going to do since he doesn't like being held, expecting the same mess and problems you had. But my husband said "he likes to chew on plastic, so let him just chew on it a bit and when it's good in his mouth inject...

He's been on bottle spring water since I got him last year and the cat has for about 3 years now. The room Ori stays in, she doesn't really go in. However, he does run around in there and poops all over when he does. So I'm more concerned that we tracked it out of the room, if he got it from...

Any updates?

So I took little Orichiku to the vet because of a small lump on his stomach that I thought was a bug bite that wasn't going away. They did a scrape on it and found no bacteria or yeast and gave me antibacterial wipes to use on the spot twice a day for a week. I had them do a fecal test, since...

It's definitely rough but you're being a good mom. It's a shame they won't just sit still in our laps during play time 😒... Have you looked up about adding some probiotics to her diet to help balance out her digestive track to compensate from the antibiotics?
