    Where To Buy Rosehips?

    I have looked all over for rosehips and can't find them anywhere. I would rather not buy online unless I really have to. I've looked in bulk food stores, grocery stores, pet stores, ect. Does anyone know where they sell them?

    Backyard Apple Tree?

    That's what I thought about the 6 years but Idk maybe it can be absorbed into the wood or something. I had no idea you had to do that. Thanks for the info. I would love details on that process!

    Backyard Apple Tree?

    We have an apple tree in our backyard that we trim every year so it doesn't produce fruit. I was wondering if I could just keep the sticks we cut off and give them to my chin as chews instead of buying them? I'm not sure what type of apple tree it is, I just know that it is apple if that...

    Dry feet and ears

    How often are you giving dust baths? Over bathing can cause dry skin in chinchillas. If you are giving a dust bath more than 3 times a week, that could and most likely is the problem. If you are really concerned, a vet visit is never gonna hurt :) Best of luck.

    Safety Gates

    I wouldn't recommend a child safety gate because of a few reasons. Wire spacing would be one as well as climbing/jumping over the gate. I got my chin one of those puppy play pens and the wire spacing was too wide and she slipped right trough it. We had to cover the whole thing in fleece and then...

    Do not use distilled water?

    I have a question too. This water doesn't say distilled, filtered or purified. It just says "Bottled at the source" I got a gallon at the dollar store. Is this safe to use?

    Handling kits?

    Hi, I've had a lot of mixed answers to this question. Is it good/okay/bad to handle kits regularly? Some breeders and pet owners on here are against it until 6 months while others say they handle them from the day they are born. I'm bringing home a kit next week and want some opinions. Thank you(:

    Color?

    It's not from a breeder. (sorry should have specified.) She was told that her 2 chins were both female (by the vet) and it turned out that they were a boy and a girl and she ended up with babies. She took them to a different vet for a checkup and to find out the sexes. They are fine (no problems...

    Color?

    I am getting this lovely little female chin next week and I was told she is a standard grey. (looks grey to me lol) but I have seen many pics of standard greys and they are all darker than she is. I was just wondering if she is a standard grey, why is she so light and of she's not, what is she...

    Cage too small?

    I'm adopting a baby chinchilla (kit) next week and I already have a cage that I bought off of craigslist (I know, not the best idea:facepalm:). I'm concerned that the cage is too small. The cage 24"Lx24"Wx24"H. Everything is safe (wood, shelves, chin proofed, ect.) I'm just concerned about the...

    New owner. Is this cage chin safe?

    I changes the bedding to a new fleece mat, so no worries:)

    Custody?

    It isn't possible for me to get identical cages in each home right now. Is that a must or just something that would help with settling in?

    Custody?

    They only live 10 minutes away from eachother. Both cars and houses are air conditioned and there's an exotic animal vet down town.

    New owner. Is this cage chin safe?

    Javachin: yes the bottom pulls out like a drawr. Jess32247: Yes it's carefresh and I heard the pine bedding is bad? I was going to switch to freece but idk how to go about that. And petco didn't have aspen which was originally what I was going to get. Thanks guys:)
