phew ok thanks! That makes perfect sense because while I was at school I always had her run around my room, so the few times she decided to be a brat and pee on my floor I didn't see any color on my dark carpet. Yes she seems to be acting fine, running around and I've seen her eating and...

Hi! I had a slightly scary situation today (at least I'm scared!). I recently moved back home,and took my chinchilla (a four year old female) out to play in a bathroom for the first time. Everything was fine, then later I went into the bathroom and noticed a large copper colored puddle behind...

Hi! I want to try to make some homemade wood chews for my chin. She seems to really like pine. I know that only kiln dried is safe but to treat it do I literally have to put it in a kiln?? I know this might be a stupid question but I dont want to feed her anything unhealthy. To treat the pine...

daina, I just got my chinchilla and her name is bellatrix haha. I saw your chins name is narcissa and I laughed :)

She is two years old, I got her as a rescue so she's fine to come out for play time. Also, I posted somewhere else on this forum but didn't get a good response about another question. She doesn't like being picked up at all, or really being touched. I try to be gentle and slow when picking her...

I was taught by the breeder i got my chin from to hold her by the base of her tail. I'm guessing no chinchilla really likes this, but she really freaks out when i do it. When I was petting her I noticed she barks/squeals when I touch the base of her tail. Do you think she could be hurt there in...

Thanks! Can you direct me to a site that sells them individually? everyone that made them said papermart but as far as i can tell you have to buy them in bundles there. And googling where I can get them individually isnt much help.

Hi! I recently got my first chinchilla and have been letting her out for play time. When I first got her I noticed at night that she'd constantly naw at her cage bars. I researched it and the general consensus was that she wanted out. Once I had her for a while I began to let her out for play...
