Does he eat it? I've heard that a lot of people are against Care Fresh as chins can eat it and it's bad for them if ingested.

I'll be getting fleece liners with the new cage hopefully in the end of December, and they've shown absolutely no interest in chewing the pans. Plus I really don't have the money to get decent fleece liners, and it's not really convenient to get cheap liners now and in only 1-2 months from now...

How long should I wait to see any good results after applying vitamin E daily to my chin's ears? I'd like to schedule a vet visit if I see no changes, so knowing how long it takes to notice results will help.

My chins will be getting a new cage in about two months with actual bedding, but right now I'm a bit stuck. I've asked this before, but didn't get a very clear answer. Will they be okay with no bedding and three litter pans with aspen shavings inside, so only the Critter Nation plastic pans and...

Just thought I'd post Bandit (left) & Buttons (right) snuggling and napping on their 1st birthday. :) I had to take the picture through the cage bars, as they might've scurried away if I got closer.

Should I weigh my chins regularly? I already plan on getting a scale in the future, but is it even necessary if they don't show any signs of being under/overweight? I was thinking that handling them and putting them on the scale repeatedly might stress them out.

I noticed that when I was an hour or so late with their pellets (they usually empty both feed bowls at 9-10, and I got home at 11) their latest poop was a bit bigger as you stated and a tad more green and hay-like. Still uniform in shape and wasn't soft at all though, and it went back to normal...

My boys' birthday is tomorrow, and one of their gifts came with some organic raspberry leaves. I know they're safe, but how much should give? I'm assuming a small pinch?

Would there be any difference in their poo I should know if they only have hay for a day or two, so I know nothing is wrong when I see it?

I made the mistake and overestimated how much pellet food I have for my chins. I'm not sure how much they have left, maybe two days. But their new food is arriving on Sunday. Can a chinchilla go without pellets for multiple days, or would I have to take an emergency trip to the nearest pet store...

If you look at my postings on my account, I have a picture on one of my latest. Should I Bring My Chin To The Vet or something like that. And yes, it's only on his outer ears.

Is there a specific mg level I should be looking for, or just any vitamin E capsules I can find?

Where can I get that?

My chinnie has had dry ear issues for about a month or so now, as some of you have seen. But now it has worsened to painless cracking and flaking of his outer ears. I'd hate for him to go to the vet as he's already gone through enough stress, and his carrier isn't prepared yet. But of course if...

Alright, that's what I thought. Amazon has pretty suck-y choices for my price range, unfortunately. Luckily I already planned to go to Walmart this evening, so I'll see what I can find.

I found two 0.5 gallon jars for $20, would that work or no?

You're amazing, thank you for answering my questions and helping me out as a new chin owner in the past few months. :) What size is the candy jar you have?

Oh my gosh, thank you so much. Could I use this for their carrier and their dust bath area?

Yeah, I'll bring both if one has to go to the vet. But since they've been accustomed to the carrier, they now get very fussy once inside instead of scared, which results in them attempting to chew the plastic. The carrier I'm using is a dog carrier, so the walls are plastic with a metal door...

How long can bonded chins be separated until their bond is broken, example being one of them needs to go to the vet?
