Lately, every once in a while I hear a squeak coming from one (or both) of the chinchillas - I don't know who's making the sound, they both seem fine. It's not quite a bark, but it sounds maybe like the beginning of a bark. It's very short, low-pitched and happens only once. It's maybe like a...

My girls Chia and Abby are 16 months and 10 months old, respectively. :))

I haven't had a lot of dead chin experiences, but I HAVE come across this once:

In the end it was fine! We turned off the AC at 7am to make sure the power outage didn't create a surge, and then I opened the window and door at 7:30, and opened the patio door on the opposite side of the apartment. It was about 13-15 degrees outside and was SO COLD in the apartment for those...

I've been looking on and off recently, gone to a few interviews but nothing has panned out so far. Now I'm starting to really apply at as many places as I can. It's just sad that graphic design jobs are hard to come by, and the field is sooo competitive. I sort of want to move to Toronto...

I used to looove my job. I loved the people I worked with and I loved my bosses - I was eager to please them and motivated to do a good job. But I work for student government, the bosses are elected each year. So in June, we got all new bosses who didn't really know what they were doing. We...

Poor thing!! :( He's such a cutie too, best of luck with him!

I have a CritterNation, and I don't use the pans mainly because they are plastic, and my chin chewed a hole in it. Chins should never have plastic in the cage, they WILL chew it.

Yeah we have dark curtains in the room, which helps a bit. I'm gonna do the Pepsi bottle thing also in case. Unfortunately there's only 1 other room with air conditioning in our apartment which is our bedroom, and we don't have space for the Critter Nation in there. Worst case scenario I can...

Chinchilla hats are the best! This is an old one: Which inspired the RodentWear project for class. Which I almost failed... :( But whatever I thought it was cool.

From 11/5/09 forward, if you have a website and you are adding your name to this list, please go ahead and make a link to it by highlighting your name after you've typed it, then click on the little icon at the top of the message window that looks like a globe with a chain on it, so others may...

On Monday we're supposedly going to have a power outage from 7:30-9:30am, and then if what they're trying to achieve "doesn't work," possibly again on Tuesday at the same time. Luckily the temperature is supposed to be only 18 degrees celsius max, but that still doesn't solve my problem that...

Yeah I'm not too sure it is worth it. If I had a lift to and from work I would maybe consider it but I don't think that will happen. If I lived a bit closer I could also consider the possibility as well... I would think that chin shows are way more stressful though, no? And also very...

I didn't think of a lot of things, so I agree that it's not a good idea. I don't want to invite them over, haha, I know them but not thaaat well... PS: Buses do allow animals though, at least in Montreal, I've seen a lot of people with cats and other pets in carriers.

My friend does custom pet portraits too -- send me a PM if you're interested :))

At work I have my chins as desktop wallpapers. One of my coworkers used to have a chinchilla who passed away several years ago, and she loves chinchillas so much - she doesn't come into my office without exclaiming "oh! chinchillas!" at least once. She wants me to bring one to the office, and a...

I'm not a dentist but root canals do fail.. My dentist said that the work that would cost me $2500 was not at all guaranteed (at least he was honest), which is why he suggested pulling it. I feel SO much better with it out, but I definitely will be getting an implant a few years from now. I've...

Personally, I have had 2 teeth (bottom molars, one on each side) pulled. I'm only 26. One tooth was pulled years ago, it was the best decision of my life! The second one I'm a bit on the fence about, it's a little closer to the front and makes it very hard to chew, but it was pulled only...

My friend is an amazing artist, her chinchilla drawings are some of the best I've seen! She did these two of Chia. Speedpainting (done in about an hour I think) Quick drawing on an iPad with a stylus

Awwww! That's soo cute but also kind of breaks my heart!
