    Cages with 1" or less spacing?

    Most people, including myself, world suggest a ferret nation with a bar spacing of 1". It has a sister cage called a critter nation with a spacing of 1/2" but that one is slightly more expensive. I own both and prefer the ferret but critter is good for little ones.

    I ended up going with Willow. I was saying the names out loud to get and she popcorned when I said Willow.

    Excited!

    I've been waiting a month but I finally brought her home. I now own a pretty little 2 month old violet girl! She doesn't have a name yet. I'm debating between Dahlia abd Willow, but my boyfriend wants me to name her after the chinchilla pokemon Cinccino. But pic after she's done being a ball of...

    Thirty day quarantine...and heat

    So I've been preparing to bring home a new chin for about a month now. I've been keeping the room she'll be stored in at about 65. Well, we've been warming up in Wisconsin and it seems that the room shot up to 74 and will not budge. What do I do? My coldest room is the room I keep my other...

    Failed Intro :(

    Thanks everyone for the support. I think Lilly misses her sister but Chimi has been a single spoiled lady for 7 years so I understand her view. And she does have one Dragon :) she loves it. I've seen her trying to get it to play with her but lately I've found it in the litter pan...I guess it...

    Failed Intro :(

    It seems my attempt to bond my girls has failed. I tried the cage within a cage method. I put my more dominant chin in the small cage and the shy one in the bigger cage in a neutral area. I even wiped everything with a vinegar wash with fresh bedding. At first Chimi didn't do anything but as...

    Newbie first timers unite

    1. How old is your chin and did you get a single or a couple/few? - I got Chimi in August she's almost 8 and Lilly in November and she's about a year and a half. After a failed bonding they're two individually spoiled girls. 2. Did you get from a breeder or rescue? - Chimi I received free from...

    Biting my tongue

    I have seen a guy at the one near us also direct people towards oxbow but I haven't seen him there in a while, of course I've also started ordering offline to save money.

    No exotics.

    I do only tell them we have cages animals but they're asking what kind. We got one person out of maybe 10 to say they were okay.

    No exotics.

    My boyfriend and I are on the look for apartments and we've been having issues. At first I thought maybe his rabbit was a problem since he's so big but we're finding more places against chinchillas mainly for the fact they're exotics. I've always considered my girls cleaner then the rabbit and...

    Snuggle Ledge

    I got mine from ChinChic and Fleece for Furries. Though many of the vendors who provide fleece items will most likely carry them. ;)

    What just happened?

    My chinchilla as chewing on an Apple stick when she suddenly stopped, went to the top of her cage, and it looked like one side went limp. I noticed one ear was pink and warm(on the side that looked limp) but the other was up and normal temp feeling. The temp in my room is a constant 63. I looked...

    Transporting a chin

    I am picking up a new chin in a few weeks(hopefully). She'll be younger and I have about a three hour drive. What is the best way to transport a chin? What kind of carrier should I get? What should I bring with me when picking her up? Sorry, this will be the longest I've had to drive to get a...

    Chinnie accessories

    I always buy from vendors on here when it comes to good accessories. My go to for fleece is Fleece for Furries but ChinChic also makes good products. Whimsey Menagerie makes good things I hear and the money goes into her rescue. Chinchilla city is one I go to for hanging toys. All the vendors...

    Litter training?

    Chins are pretty clean animals and will pick a spot in the cage by themselves that they will use as their potty. From just observing that you can train them to pee in a litter pan (I personally use Pyrex dishes filled with kiln dried pine). Just put soiled bedding in the pan, put it in the...

    Biting my tongue

    I had to do an emergency Petsmart run for hay for my boyfriend's rabbit and I happened to notice a guy buying chinchilla food. He was carrying the cheapest brand with the treats. It takes so much to not speak up because I have before and I got "This is my pet and they like what I feed them."...

    What the ???????

    Any sort of rear end touching in my house results in a disgruntled kack. :wacko:

    What the ???????

    I give my old girl ear massages all the time and she melts. My younger one hates her little freckled ears touched. Depends on the chin.
