    dumbest thing your chin has ever done

    We're thinking Cinnamon maybe isn't as smart as Vincenza. She was chewing on a ledge and scooted for more ledge and scooted for more ledge and... fell off the ledge. We're glad we have the hammock.

    Barking Chinchilla.

    Vincenza only barked at me when it appeared she felt I was spending too much time at Cinnamon's cage. The rest of the time she runs around and stares at me until I come say hi :) They will find ways to train you!

    Castration Question

    So this is the dark side of castration. We had a situation where the two boys we got off CL turned out to be a boy and a girl. We had the boy neutered and he died the day after of shock. He went into stasis. It was devastating. To this day we regret not just putting them in separate cages. It...

    Had to post it twice!

    Thanks all! The owl print is from camphor and there's a cute little mushroom print from threewingedfury. I hope we can get them bonded. Vincenza was barking at me last night for attention. She has first child syndrome. She loves the hammock, it's her favorite stick eating place already!

    Yeah! We got a good deal on a used one. We tossed all the stuff from it so we needed shelves and stuff. Hopefully her and Vincenza will be housed in it. It's probably the most space she's had :)

    Cinnamon is in her new cage! Decor is thanks to threewingedfury/nwi chinchillas and camphor :) The only problem with the brown is we keep losing her! She hasn't stopped moving since we put her in it 2 hours ago.

    Some tech resources for AC crisis

    There was a good tutorial on a homebrew temperature sensing tool. But it seems like it would come out more expensive than a pre-done product. I don't think my husband would be pleased! You can do this to convert e-mail to text too: http://www.ehow.com/how_5728058_convert-email-text-message.html

    Some tech resources for AC crisis

    I saw that but I'd prefer to manage the mail myself. But if you're not a nerd, it would definitely help!

    Allergies, pregnant chin and air purifiers?

    ^ I use a HEPA filter in my bedroom, it really helps!

    Some tech resources for AC crisis

    I work in nerdery where it's important to keep our equipment in a temperature controlled room with back up power supplies. I've been thinking about what to do if our HVAC system fails at our house and take care of my chins. And I realized it's the same! The chins are tiny servers! :) I came...

    my chin died last week...

    ^ I'm the same. In fact I'm going to implement a remote temperature monitoring system :). Thankfully my husband works very close to home and by taxi I'm about 10 minutes away. We have a stand alone back up unit just in case the HVAC fails and I bought some ice packs for coolers + a ton of...

    Bottled water question

    We use Aquafina, which has the whole osmosis/3 stage thing going on.

    I am surprised that he is OK!

    Aww poor baby! I'm glad he's ok :)
  17. tcraighenry

    Does he want to come out?

    ^ Same! Vincenza does press herself into the bars if she gets a bit warm after being on the wheel. Even though the house is at 65 and we have a dehumidifier next to the cages.

    How does your chin's day look like?

    7-8 I come down and say hi. Call Vincenza and she wanders out for a little scritch. Let Cinnamon sniff me. 8-8:30 my husband is on morning duty, tops up their water and food and gives them some sticks 5:30-6:00 they come out of tubes/houses and sleep on ledges a little bit (when I get home from...

    carrying question

    Vincenza likes to face inward when I pick her up. I support her feet and hold her over my heart. It's a trial to get her there but she calms down. Someone here said a squished chin is a safe chin. Cinnamon likes to face outward but we still put our hands over her ribcage and support her little...
