Hi Roo has many quirks but this is by far the most interesting. She'll crawl on my shoulder or my face and lick me. Her mouth will find my earlobe, nose, lip and she'll put her mouth on it and wont bite down but I can feel her tongue on me. Does anyone elses chin do this?

Hmmm all the research Ive done says never over 80 and she has been living in 70 degree weather for over a year now with me and has never had any issues. Before she was living in some guys garage and it was getting 100 degrees everyday and somehow she made it. The house temp during winter is...

I would take out the wheel and give his brother extra playtime outside the cage. You can also give him more toys to stimulate him. I would wait to put it back in until the scratch is completely healed.

Conures Ideal temp is between 65-72 degrees. Chin ideal temp is between 60-70 degrees. I am going to by a thermometer for my room and constant be regulating the temps. There is a perfect middle so the room will probably be between 65-70 degrees.

Hi so I am planning on getting a Green Cheeked Conure pretty soon and I wanted to know if there would be any concerns with housing my chin and the GCC together. When I mean together I mean their cages will be in the same room and my GCC will be able to explore freely throughout the room. I know...

hmmm I would take her into the vet then just to find out whats going on. Something minor could easily turn into life threatening if not treated.

If I were you I'd sweep that baby up in a heart beat! I rescued my chinchilla last year. She was 2 years old, lived in a hamster cage, had poor quality food, no toys, no exercise, was being fed rabbit treats, no human interaction and was placed in the garage....we live in SoCal.....it gets above...

How much time do you spend with them? Personally I'd sit next to their cage and talk to them. Do this for about a week and then try to feed them. When feeding them start with treats and give them a treat but dont pet them. Do this for a week and see if they start to get comfortable with you...

From what I know it could be from a mixture of things...unfortunately all need to be consulted by a vet. It could be as simple as a nutrient deficiency, to mites, to some even say ringworm. Check if she is loosing quills as well if so its probably mites.

i dont see any recordings attacked

I rescued my chin from a girl who saw that he was living in some guys garage, in a hamster cage, limited hay, no exercise, no human interaction, and only the plastic cage to chew on. She immediately talked to the owners and ended up going home with a chinchilla. (her name was Duma at the time)...

Wow didn't realize liners weren't too expensive! The ones I got now were like 200$!. I will defiantly buy these!

where are you located?

is there a place you can reccomend for liners? These cost me a fortune and they were supposed to cover the plastic. I dont have too much money at the moment but if its nots to terrible I may be able to afford a new liner set

Does anyone know a complete list of safe woods and materials to give to chinchillas??

I have had Roo for about a year now and her cage went from a very simple critter nation with just a few toys and 1 hut to what I have now. There are several ledges with ALOT if toys and several huts as well. I only want the best for her and want to create the best environment. I have...

I'd also reccomend AZ chinchillas. I order all my ledges from her and she is great. Wonderful costumer service

Yeah diet is very confusing and can also be controversial. I would recommend feeding them that blend. It's variety and gives different textures and tastes they can enjoy but since it's blended its not a sudden change. If you do that blend I wouldn't mix up the hay after that. Personally I would...

Another thing you should think about is too much variety. If you switch from hay to hay to hay it can confused their digestive system and the sudden changes and cause upset stomach. Like if you were to change food you would do it very gradually so they don't get sick and have their digestive...

Oh know orchard grass is ok for sure. On the back of the packages they tell you the texture and flavor of each hay. Ideally you don't wants something too soft and sweet. Sweetness because of the sugar count and softness because the hay is supposed to trim down their back teeth. Here is a link to...
