Happy Chinniversary to you both!

I agree with everything Sandi said. Here are some videos that one of our members made that might help: How to burrito a chinchilla: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJiM_4XR3Hk Force Feeding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKOEgKPJQjg

I don't know what tools you have, but you can clean wood with hydrogen peroxide or a vinegar/ water mix, then sand them down. I use my power sander on all the chin wood every 6 months or so, haven't destroyed a shelf yet. So you might be able to get a little more wear out of them if you keep up...

I always send my vet a card, and picture of the chins. He posts pictures of his clients around the office, so he likes the pictures.

Hey there handsome, I've missed seeing that pretty face. Your mom may be busy, but she does take very good pictures. Jameson says hi, he misses hanging out in the cage next to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss :-( RIP Sweet little boy

Where are you exactly? I'm in southern Ohio and we've been ok so far. (knocking on wood) my vet and e-vet both board, there are some breeders in the area who also May be willing to help out.

I have found that several highly reputable exotic vets have different opinions on chin care. I only have one chin that I need to ration pellets with. I also feel that cheerios are fine in moderation, unless the chin is displaying symptoms of digestive issues in which case I wouldn't be offering...

Sometimes a picture really is worth 1000 words:

Looks like tons of fun!

Adorable!! I love standards!

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!

Chillers are great, but not necessary, as long as you are keeping the room at a reasonable temperature. They are a bit pricey but my chins LOVE the flagstone ledges from this site. They act just like chillers. http://www.birdontherocks.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=8

Congrats, she's a cutie!

Once she is back on her feet I would find a vet who is knowledgeable on working with chinchilla teeth (they're not the same as rabbits). If this chin does have dental disease you should have x-rays and an thorough oral exam so that you'll know exactly what you're dealing with.
