First, with chinchillas is just plain and simple not entirely possible to tell if there's something broken w/o x-rays. Second, get a different vet, the one you're using is an idiot. Third, you'll be lucky if your chinchilla doesn't bloat or go into stasis because a diet of what you're feeding in...

Well, I always support the "little guy" as far as breeders go. I hear enough touting of the big names...there are some very seriously good little guys in the industry and I think they often get overlooked. It was a "big name" that took GSC at this past Atlantic Chapter show with a dark...

Jessica, I'll take "the list" as well ;)

SRSimpson- judging by the show you've chosen you must be on the eastern side of the country? First, NOBODY on this page is against breeding...but we're ALL against irresponsible breeding. You seem to understand this and that'll make things go a LOT easier around here :) I'm with dreamlite, do...

I'm with saphire, it does sound like fungus. Even if it's not it won't hurt to have an anti-fungal in the dust. Keep in mind that you will not see improvement over night...anti-fungals take a bit to work...in general it takes a bit to see regrowth and tail fur is notorious for taking FOREVER to...

I was wondering who all is planning to attend this show, who all will have animals for sale at this show :)

I do, there are 3 :)

Also, as I didn't see anyone mention...the slimy discharge IS somewhat normal for the first day so long as she's definitely done littering? Did you feel her to make sure she delivered everyone? Also, weights! You won't be able to monitor how everyone is doing unless you're weighing them daily. A...

Dawn I messaged you back, my paypal is [email protected] :)

Well, obviously for most of the US...summer is the only really safe time to prep in a car ;) Oh, another thought on decorative wood ideas...textures...now THOSE I know chins enjoy...for example, the barky willow I can get...MUCH different texture than say apple or pine? Likewise, grape would...

There is a reason that most chinchilla breeders are breeders only and most rescues are rescues only...if you want to do it RIGHT, it's very emotionally & financially draining. I'd say, pick one path and go with it. Something to keep in mind is that all chinchillas grow up...do you know how often...

I wouldn't be worried about killing things...if you follow the "normal" protocol of boiling before baking...but it will definitely NOT be energy efficient. Dehydrators take FOREVER...I tried to do banana chips once...after like, two days they were still a bit gummy :( I'm with car baking, even...

Dawn I sent you a message :) Still have: 3 perches @ $8/ea many thick, whirlie type hanging toys...probably at least 10...most likely more, can add willow whirlies, finger traps and loofa!

I do, just not sure how much? I drilled anything that was thick enough for the bit to go through...I put the thinnest stuff in the nibbler pack :) SOOO...will let you know? How thick of sticks would be the limit?

Yeah, even for triplets those are VERY low weights...my triplets (and quadruplets) usually range between 40 & 55g per kit. Well, good job on two weeks...keep up the good work!

DAWN! you do NOT need a lot! ;) Let me know what you're looking for and I'll put 'em together!

More willow JUST PROCESSED! Perches- 3 available, approx.2-2.5" diameter & 8-9" long. Examples of my types of perches can be found in pictures from this thread. $8/ea Hanging toys- NOT MADE YET, can make solid whirlie, solid thin stick, or a mix of whirlie, thin stick, finger...

15g is REALLY tiny...probably premature so don't beat yourself up...I mean, it always sucks to lose one :( but there was probably not much you could've done. NOW, the other two should make it if they aren't premature as well...keep weights, I do twice a day (morning and night) for the first...

That's probably going to be your best option. I live in a rural area, any place that sells ANYTHING is a 20min drive one way (so 40min round trip) and that's basic stuff like groceries. My pet stuff has to be gotten in a bigger town which is a 40min drive one way (so 1hr 20min round trip) so I...

Oh the number of times I've been peed on...that said, as long as he acted "normal" before and after urination...I wouldn't worry one bit :) chins aren't people, and even some people (especially young ones) pee on people! LOL on a serious note though, if he acted "off" before, during or after...
