Get some sterile saline eye drops that you would use for contacts etc. It shouldn't have any additives, just saline. You can use that to wash out his eyes or put some on a cotton ball to clean the outside. If it worsens, then get him to the vet.

It does sound stress related. Do what Luci suggested and hopefully that will get him back on track. Some chins react well to change and others do not. Try to get him moving around with some playtime and maybe it'll strike up his appetite.

Did you give him the whole CN to run in? If so, that's a much larger cage than he's ever been used to and is probably tired from running around. Just keep an eye on him that he's eating/drinking/pooping etc in the next day or so. What do you mean by wicking? Fleece doesn't fray so you don't...

Contact Shooper here on the forums. She can help you out.

Definitely get a scale so you can properly monitor his weight. You can find one in the kitchen section of Target/Walmart, etc. Don't buy anything Kaytee; their products are terrible. Stick to Oxbow if you can or another reputable brand. If he's still a bit younger, maybe remove the wheel for now...

Unfortunately, pairing really depends on the chins you are going to try to pair. Not having a female around will definitely help, but if they don't like each other, they won't get along. Its something you'll have to try and figure out as you go along. As for standards not liking mutations; I've...

If anyone is interested in pre-ordering for the CA show in a couple weeks, let me know.

Keep doing what you're doing and continue massages. If you let him out in a smaller area, would he run around? That might help a little… Get him to the vet once they're open.

Last call for banquet RSVPs. Deadline is tomorrow and an email was sent out to members.

I would only breed a sapphire to a standard S/C. I wouldn't even mess with other mutations as others have said.

Thank you Sandi for the impromptu SS! Thank you Lynn for our gifts! See you in a few weeks.

Thank you SS!

I know this is very close to Christmas, but we NEED RSVPs for the banquet by DECEMBER 27TH. Shoot me a PM or email at [email protected] to reserve.

There's nothing you can do about it as long as you have a female around. Hopefully he is indeed fixed to avoid pregnancy.

Sending you a PM.

You need to hand feed. The suggestions posted are a great start. If you want to introduce some kind of beneficial probiotic, you can get some in powder form. I wouldn't use straight yogurt though.

Still taking last minute show book ads.

Clue #1: Three of my chinnies are handicapped. Clue #2: I now have 5 chinchillas... I got a a little tripod female from a rancher buddy for my lonley girl. Clue #3: My new best friend is my new kidney, Buddy!!! My SS is Lynn! :D

What a great idea! It makes good use of those scraps that I hate to see thrown away. Lovely wreath too!

Last call for show book ads! We need them by today. Also, a reminder to make your RSVP for the banquet. We need the final reservations by the end of this month. Less than a month away...
