    Thinking about getting another chin!

    The that I have is about 2 or 3 months, but I'm not 100% on that because I bought her from the pet store that my boyfriend works at. But they got her at 7 weeks and I bought her about 2 weeks after they received her and have had her for a while now. Thanks for the ideas hopefully my boyfriend is...

    Thinking about getting another chin!

    So I have a friend who is giving away his baby chins and I would like to get a cage mate for my chinchilla. I obviously want a girl because I could not handle potential breeding, at the moment. I was just wondering if they would get along, I know that there is always a possibility that they will...

    bored chinnie/want to spice it up!

    If you want to make your own treats you can buy the metal poles at petco, I think is where I saw them, (just the pole no treats on it) or you could get a wire coat hanger and cut it to the length that you need and use that as the metal pole it works just as good.

    Squeezed through bars

    i guess the real think i am worried about is that she was stuck and tring to free herself and was having a hard time. I think she may be bruised though... still acting normal, just seems alittle sore when we go to pick her up.

    Squeezed through bars

    Yeah, I mislead you before, the Cage itself has bar a bar spacing of about 6"x1.5". Yes i used J clips to secure the wire mesh. There was one place in the corner that i thought she could not squeeze through... Obviously i was wrong... But i have secured the whole cage with wire mesh now, so...

    Squeezed through bars

    About 1 year old. Yeah it was sold as is... It was bent, but i fixed that. It is actually a 48" dog crate from petsmart. it is 48x30x33 so it is very big for her. I just hope she is ok.

    Squeezed through bars

    We got a large cage for my chinchilla and we found out early that the bars were too far apart for her and she could squeeze through. They are spaced at 1-1/2 inches. We went and bought wire mesh and covered the whole cage with it to make it so she could not escape. Well last night i went to...

    Turning a closet into my chinchillas home

    Thanks for all your suggestions. I was planning on covering the carpet, the wood would have been sanded down/replaced with pine, and i do not have hardwood floors. I now see that it is not a great idea for many reasons.... What exactly is melamine..... is it like formica?...or the stuff that...

    Turning a closet into my chinchillas home

    I was going to turn a closet in the room where my chinchilla is, into a whole area for her to live. basically make screen doors to replace the closet doors and then add the appropriate living essentials to the area. I was wondering about a few things like the dry wall, and painted molding...
