Thank you! In that case, I won’t look into that humidifier. But for the wooden cage, I didn’t think it’d be a problem or else I wouldn’t have made it:/ But overall, thank you for the advice! I ordered the fleece liners so I’ll be getting those shortly. I’ll also go to bargain stores or Walmart...

Thank you Amethyst! I do clean his cage regularly, I clean it once in the morning and once at night so 2x a day. I think I’ll just stick to the water and vinegar since I don’t want to cause any risk. I think the cage could smell because his cage is build of wood. Regardless, my husband has been...

Hi, I wanted to know if anybody had any recommendations for cleaning supplies for my chinchillas cage? I’ve been using water and vinegar for the main part, but since Minato’s cage is fully covered by blankets and towels I do wash each one. I’ve just been looking to buy cleaning supplies like...

Thank you! I’ve been able to determine that he is in the average or healthy weight zone. After your suggestions, I’ve been able to note that he’s in good shape! Thank you!

Hi everyone, just a small question: how much would you say a chin should way on average? I know it can vary to the chin but Minato was a bit underweight since his last checkup since you could feel his spine. Ever since, I’ve been giving him a quarter size treat of Critical Care that he’s been...

Thank you for the help and thank you so much, I look forward to updating you guys!

Thank you for responding! I agree with both of you, like I said with Jawramik I’ll be getting him tested again. I’ll also try including more hay in the cookies! My husband actually grinded and cut down some hay and put it inside his pellet bowl and he’s been eating them which is good. He also...

hi thanks for the response! I agree, his poop smelling has other factors beside not eating his hay. In reality, he hasn’t been a big fan of eating his hay throughout the time I’ve had him but he will eat it. His poop never smelled like this and I assumed some of it could’ve been the fibers he’s...

Hi everyone! Minato hasn’t been eating his hay for some time due to overgrown teething problems. This has caused his poop to smell and be watered down a bit. (By that I mean it’s sticky and isn’t hard like it should be). I called his vet to see if it was something that could be helped but they...

Okay sounds good, thank you for the help. I’ll be ordering the Critical Care and it should be coming soon.

Yea the vet said he’d most likely need teeth trimming but honestly I’ll do anything for him to be happy and healthy. I honestly wish k could’ve known he was a bit older so I can make his cage a little more accessible even though it’s somewhat easy to get through. For now I’ll stop using oats and...

Ok I got the papers. He weights 475 gms

Ill give you some insight on how the vet visit went from the past time (the first checkup with a doctor i dont trust) and this recent checkup. When I first got Minato(around March) I took him to get a checkup. The doctor said everything was fine with him, but I wasn’t able to enter the room due...

Hi everybody, I recently took Minato to the vet for a checkup and was told he was underweight. To my understanding, he was perfect in weight from the last checkup but the vet was not trustful or truthful. Now that we know he’s underweight, I want to get him healthy. I was told by the vet that...

Alright thank you!

I made an appointment to two vets, the closest time they had was Monday for the first one and Wednesday for the second. He hasn’t been crying or whining, and he’s been eating good. He still comes out but does sleep a little more. Should I take him to the emergency hospital or wait for the...

My chin Minato woke up with his eye closed today. He scratches it somewhat and it sort of appears to be watery. He keeps the eye closed most of the time but he will open it sometimes. I wouldn’t say it’s glued shut, but he tends to keep it closed for some time. Could it be an infection or has...

Hi! Sadly no, his hair is still balding and picking at it. I’m trying to save up because everywhere I call they charge up to $200 just for an appointment.

Thank you! Yea I just want to make sure there’s nothing to be concerned about and it’s better to be safe than sorry. I’ll be checking out those vets when they open tomorrow, thank you!

Hi everybody, not too long ago I posted a thread where my chin Minato started to have a bald spot. I’d say it was the size of a penny but now I’ve noticed that it’s the size of three quarters put together. I provided a video down below. I started noticing that he does scratch/ pull on that area...
