okay I will make sure to keep track of her weight. Thank you!

Thanks everyone! Sunny had her vet appt today and the they say she looks healthy! There is poop in her intestines and she pooped a few times during the visit. They said she is a little gassy so they prescribed some pain meds and reglan for motility. Thanks for the tips guys. The vet said to...

I called a normal vet and scheduled an apt for tomorrow... turns out they only charge around 40 bucks for an apt (versus the 100 i paid somewhere else) and they have critical care there for $10 as well so I will be picking that up tomorrow. This all seems pretty affordable. I have no idea where...

I read online where some vet recommended to another person who had a chinchilla that wasn't passing any poop to give it an enema... I bought the enemas from the pharmacy section at walmart for children. It's really small and baby sized. Where do I buy this critical care or pellet mixture...

I've got a few questions about my recovering chinchilla female, Sunny. I had the worst experience with the vet last week. Around Wednesday night, i noticed Sunny was acting very weird and depressed and not her usual self. I started worrying and called my mom. (sunny used to be my moms until she...

Oh wow ok yes those are way more intense in the coloring. Okay I wasn't sure if the tint of red was a bad thing but I've never seen his ears get like that. Thank you for the references!

Yeah I do give him extensive play time and he tends to bounce off the walls so that could be it as well

Alright well thank you guys!! I guess I'm just being overly protective

Okay so it's normal for their inner ear to be red? I couldn't find any photos to compare to online of their inner ear. I also might just be fussing for no reason. I am a worry wart.

It will only let me have one photo at a time

So I've noticed my chinchilla Kai's ears are always red. Is this just his normal coloring or is he getting too hot? I keep my apt at 70 degrees and he has a chinchiller that he never uses. I'll include some pics of him:

I plan on having the separate initially at least until they are well acquainted and get along. I don't want to keep two giant separate cages since I'm a college student who generally doesn't have a lot of living space. For me two cages will need to be a temporary thing. But the cage is multi...

So I have a male chinchilla who is one and a half. Kai. I bought him from a breeder and I have his whole blood line or whatever but I don't know much about that kind of stuff. He was bred to be a show chin but was attacked by his brother which resulted in tattered ears and a small bald spot so...

Thank you! He is doing great now. We have bonded quite a bit and he isn't afraid of me anymore. I'm trying to train him to not freak out when I hold him. That's the only obstacle we have left! Thank you guys again.

Thanks Cindy. I hope I can be like that as well!!

Maybe you're right. I am just normally a worrisome type person so I don't want anything to be wrong with him or for him to be afraid of anything. But maybe he is getting a little spoiled haha and just wants attention. Is barking during their sleep a normal thing ? Nothing has been remodeled...

I've had my chinchilla for about a little over a month now. When I first got him he used to bark a lot but usually he never does anymore after the first week. We are pretty well bonded at this point and i take him out of his cage about once a day and sit with him in the bathroom while he plays...

btw - Godofgods, I'm happy your baby chin is doing great! That must have been really scary.

thank you everyone for your comments and support!! I caught kai early this morning!! no thanks to the trap... didn't work. I got fed up and decided to stick a broom stick into the hole and got him to run out and then I blocked the hole... a half hour of chasing him around the kitchen and I...

thank you dreamlite. I've since had a spotting!! I have been camping out in my room so that kai may feel more comfortable to come out (I was sure he wasn't in my room) and I heard a little metal rattling so I came out to check it. I came too soon!! I turn on the light and see him scamper into...
