My chinchilla has recently begun pawing at her mouth and making faces when she's eating. I know this is a sign of teeth problems. Should I take her to a vet? Could this be anything else? She never used to do this, I've only noticed it more recently

What is the address/ location for this show?

At first I had though that maybe my mom put him in the wrong cage if she took him out. But last night I went in and both of my boys were in her cage (the boys are paired together). I noticed that the boys had chewed through a tiny part of the cage bottom and were slipping through it (I have a...

I hadn't been in the chin room since like mid-day last night to tonight and I went in and found one of my boys in my girl's cage. The girl is almost 7 years old and the boy is from her offspring and is around 3. They are both whites (one pink white, one mosaic)- which scares me since you aren't...

I may be attending this year :) I wasn't able to attend last year, so I'm trying to plan ahead of time so I'll be able to make it this year!

Also, how much tinactin to dust do you mix?

Okay, thanks for the information! Do you think I should keep him on the antibiotics and probiotics the vet prescribed? And also should intake him back to the vet?

That's one of the many things I was thinking.. How is fungus treated? And also is it contagious?

I took Milo to the vet last Wednesday because he appeared to have an infected wound of some sort of his arm. The vet prescribed antibiotics, probiotics, and a cleaning solution for it. After further looking at his leg, I no longer believe it is an infected wound.. I don't know what it is. He is...

Good news- the vet is going to see him tomorrow around 11.. wish us good luck!

And I forgot to mention that it doesn't seem to bother him- he can walk on it

So I have recently introduced my chinchillas Mo and Milo. They seem to get along great and have no problems. The other day I noticed a bald patch on Milo's arm and tried to look at it, but couldn't see anything. It looked bigger today so I took him out to further examine. I noticed this huge...

He is absolutely adorable!!! Congrats :)

Thanks everyone! He is settling very well and is eating a drinking fine! I love him already :) and thank you so much brandy and barb for helping me transport him, I really appreciate it!!

I was very nervous about this when deciding to get a new chinnie, but after thinking about it, like all the people who also answered this, many breeders would have a lot of problems if that was the case! I think you'd be fine! Seeming that everyone here says that it shouldn't be a problem, I...

Thanks everyone! :) it is decided that his name is Milo!

Here's my new baby boy! <3 He is a violet! I can't choose what I should name him! I'm stuck between Milo and Cosmo? What do you guys think? I have a Misty, Cookie, and Mo right now! Sorry these pictures aren't very good, I'll try to get some better ones when he settles in a bit more!

Please post some pictures after the show!! I'm sad I couldn't make it this year :(

Very cute!! :)

I was wondering, what age is a good age to let your chinchillas have a wheel in their cage?
