Hello, It's been a while since I've posted here but I really need some advice. I'm looking to redo my chin's cages entirely and I'm looking for the best place to buy Kiln Dried Pine lumber. I used to get it at Menards but last time I took a look they were out. In my area we have...

My little Willow rolls in her peed on bedding. Well she kicked out the bedding... and peed straight on the pan and rolled, this is what I'm assuming because I've witnessed her doing this before, she's acting completely normal, and I found a puddle of urine. This is what I woke up to find. She is...

The sale is in stores too. Going home with 9 yards for 28 bucks!

Kid, then I don't have to pay bills! Ha. Tea or Coffee?

I have a chin who earlier this year started getting watery eyes. Her teeth have been checked out and she eats fine, actually she's a piggy sometimes. I think it may be the dust baths, because they seem to only occur after a good bathing, so I've been giving her fresh dust every time and it's...

1.) what is the BEST, healthiest snack food? I feed mine a lot of different stuff.. I feel I am doing wrong. I feed mine Unfrosted Shredded Mini Wheat, Unsweetened Cheerios, and rose hips. Treats should be given once or twice a week at most. A lot of people do not give treats, the most...

I've posted about my chin having dry skin but it seems like it's ALWAYS dry. Only on her ears not her feet. I've limited dust baths which won't help (I've gone down to one every four or five days). I use bag balm and it'll help only a little, which she actually looks forward to get daily ear...

I buy my Oxbow from Wag.com. They offer coupons for new users and what you spend on a small bag at Petsmart you can get double that as well as hay. Surprisingly I found a large bag of kiln dried pine at my local Wal-Mart for 6 bucks and it works really well.

I think some vets carry special cones of shame for smaller mammals (our vet had a more flexible fabric one for bunnies) but I'm not sure how they'd fair over with chinchillas.

I bought anti pill fleece from joannes fabrics, so they are less likely to form those nasty little fuzz bits on them, you'll notice it happening to fleece sweaters in like the arm pits a lot. But my liners I made from anti pill seems to have formed them anyway after using them and washing them...

Thanks everyone! I ended up getting a really good deal on a sewing machine so problem solved. By the way thank you for the offer Becky that's really nice of you :) !

We had to state the types of animals in our application to our new apartment. I think it would be best to have it in writing some where so it doesn't come back to bite you in the butt, maybe. But I'm also a very paranoid person and like everything in writing.

I actually JUST went through this and it was annoying as heck. No landlord would listen, one even thought they were lizards! They were fine with our rabbit but did not want to deal with anything labeled exotic. We eventually found a place, it honestly took months. Good luck dealing with...

Does anyone know of someone who makes just plain fleece cage liners. I usually make them myself but my sewing machine broke and my other sets are starting to get pilling on them (even though they were supposed to be anti-pill). Any help would be greatly appreciated :)!

I thought you were getting both and was wondering how you would tell them apart:laughitup:. They're both cuties, good luck deciding on which one!

I'm sorry to hear about Rou, it's funny how little they spend in our lives but how big of an impact they can make. By the way his marking is adorable. If you get him you need to post tons of pictures!

THE POWER WENT OUT!!! I feel bad but we're all sitting in a car right now, which breaks my quarantine for baby Willow...I feel like a horrible chin mom but it's all I could think of to do... I'm pretty much in tears. They said it'll take two hours to get it back up.

I always get scared when the room gets to 70. I live where when it's hot it's humid too. I'm at a loss right now because the room is at 70..I know they're usually good around the 70s but I'm scared for when the days are just going to get hotter and hotter, I'll be at work during the hottest...

I don't like window units, they do the job but I'm paranoid they'll fall out. It's kind of stressful relying on technology like that keeping your babies alive because if some freak thing occurs and you have no control, it's sad :(.

I had a close call regarding my girls. I came home from work and found the room at 73 and rising. Chimi's ears were warm and Lilly was laying on her side on her chinchiller. I panicked and checked the air conditioner and it seemed to have just take a poop on me. I do have a more powerful spare...
