    I have a few questions about wood?

    Is pine safe if you bake it and boil it like you would with apple wood, I always thought it had to be klin dried but I saw something that said its fine if you just did that too, also I saw something saying pinecones weren't safe? I have given them to my chins before and prepared them like any...

    Is wood safe if it was sprayed with a pesticide like ten years ago?

    My grandma has an apple tree and a grape vine, but she doesn't know if they were sprayed with anything before she bought her house, I know that the rule of thumb is if you don't know then don't give it to your chins. But I was wondering if it would be safe if it was sprayed like over five years...

    New chinchilla, food question?

    Thanks, rbarlie92. Since I shouldn't give her treats til she's fully eating her new pellets and everything is good with that, so far she is eating about a tablespoon a day of them and she's picking at her hay, I figure by the end of next week she'll be eating normal, can I give her new chews...

    My chin is making these weird nosies?

    Yes she is in the same room as him, I couldn't keep her in a separate room without exposing her to my cats. But thanks, I really think that's all he is doing since other then that noise he is acting normal.

    Can chinchillas catch a cold?

    From what I've heard they can, so it's best to wash your hands before feeding and watering them, and try to breathe very little on them and near them, and you should wait about two or three days after your better before handling and playing with your chin!

    sunaturals feed?

    Honestly you would be best to stick to either Mauzri, Tradition, or Oxbow, Oxbow is pretty easy to find and the rest you can get from most breeders and suppliers, and they are so much fresher too!

    My chin is making these weird nosies?

    Thanks ChinnyMom, the sound kinda sounds like a cross between a mating and contact/communication sound but with sneezing maybe, and the hiccups, I can't tell if its sneezing or not but he stopped doing it for now, but now that I think about it he did start to do it on sunday when I got my second...

    My chin is making these weird nosies?

    He just started doing it after I gave a seagrass toy thing, he's never done this before and it kinda sounds like he's sneezing but trying to unclog his nose, should I be worried, could it be from the toy. He's eating, playing, drinking and acting normal, I also got another chin yesterday she's...
