Sounds like they don't like that particular hay. I buy my hay from Kleenmama and my chins devour it.

Safe travels to everyone and see you all tomorrow!

All that is fine to use. Some people even tile the bottom of their cages and use litter boxes.

I agree with the possible nerve damage. She'll continue chewing on them until you have the vet do an amputation. Chins still live good lives if they become a tripod, you just have to catch it early. There are a few people on the boards who have amputees and I'm sure they can give you more advice.

Grats to all! The pictures you've posted so far are great. Thanks!

My favorite is the flying saucer from Meadowbrook Chins. Its well worth the money.

Agreed with the above post. Fleece can be easier in terms of cleanliness, but chins will still toss their poop out of their cages no matter what bedding you use. Wash the liners once a week at minimum with regular detergent and 1 cup of white vinegar to remove any urine odor if necessary.

Fleece is the only safe fabric for chins since it doesn't fray. I would think the same for guinea pigs assuming there's a potential they'll chew it.

5 lbs. for one chinchilla lasts a couple months. Check out the classified ads down below; a lot of people sell food by the pound and home made toys, fleece items, etc.

One week away! If anyone wants to donate any last minute things or toss in an ad, let me know! See you all soon.

I have plenty, just PM me with whatever you'd like.

A rule of thumb; Kaytee = no no. Everything they make is terrible for chins in my opinion and that product is not safe for chins.

You can pull out the mats gently and just keep dusting. I would switch the guinea pig feed as well to something else like Oxbow or Mazuri, or a rabbit pellet.

The only CLC brand I could find was an MCBA breeder, Chenlouchins. I've never heard of them personally, but maybe someone else has more information. Ear tags don't really mean much in terms of DOB, parentage, etc. and not all breeders document what ear tags go on what animal. If anything, its...

Its possible that she thinks your fingers are treats. I would avoid petting her through the cage bars or sticking your fingers in the cage. It just peaks her interest and she's probably biting you to figure out what you're sticking through the cage. To avoid that, open the cage to pet her...

I have a few vocal chins who like to do that during certain periods of the day. I would say its something to attract your attention. Chins make so many funny noises.

I would say they're acclimating. Chins sleep at various times of the day, so its nothing to be worried about. Just make sure they're eating/drinking/pooping normally, give them some time and I'm sure they'll be fine.

Check out the classifieds thread. Myself and others sell toys and other items.

I'm gonna go with a really red ebony as well.
