    Divorce/Separation of Property?

    I know this greatly varies depending on the country and state/province, but I'm just looking for some insight... because in my family I'm the go-to for legal questions and taxes, two things I know very little about. :facepalm: Whatever. ANYWAY: My aunt and uncle have been divorced for many...

    Raising Baby Squirrels

    I would highly suggest visiting www.thesquirrelboard.com if you haven't already. Raising squirrels is no easy task! That said, your babies are so cute!! My little guy was adorable, I still miss him so much. Photos here if you wanna see...

    What's at the bottom of your cage??

    Wood with tile glued down (as a few of you know - I'm a huge tiled-cage advocate!) Both my girls are pretty much litter-trained, so I use tile and a Pyrex pan of bedding :))

    Doesn't seem offensive to me... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marika

    Chinchillas and blacklights?

    Someone else might be able to give to better advice, but I don't think the light can harm their fur. Eyes I'm not sure, but I've had blacklights around both cats and dogs and didn't see any adverse effects. But like I said, someone else might be able to tell you for sure.

    Air Freshener = Deadly?

    Yeah she smokes inside, but like I said I always keep the chin door closed and we don't smell it in there. My boyfriend - her own son - has asthma and she doesn't care. She has smoking-induced asthma as well. I don't say anything because it's not my place to call her out on things. Some people...

    New CN :)

    Congrats! I love my CN :)) Putting it together was a pain - I had to do it by myself as well, really wasn't as easy as they advertise!

    Pictures of YOU

    Thought I should post a pic of myself finally... This is me! (with my prized possession - vintage 1980 ray bans) This is me and my boyfriend at our university convocation - we graduated the same day at different times :)) My gown is falling off, it was so big on me, I was surprised it didn't...

    Air Freshener = Deadly?

    I definitely am very careful. I don't personally spray air freshener in any of the rooms occupied by my boyfriend and myself (our bedroom and the office where the chins are). My mother in law* knows that I hate sprays so she won't spray in those rooms either. But I know that sometimes some...

    My leg hurts really bad, but I have no insurance

    I don't see how it wouldn't help, personally, since one of the issues she's faced with is lack of insurance. She mentioned there are walk-in clinics that cost hundreds of dollars. Here, walk-in clinics cost nothing. I have in fact never, ever paid to see a doctor, whether it was at a private...

    Size of pans for CN to make fleece liners?

    I use these measurements here: http://www.bassequipment.com/Cages/Ferret+Pans/default.aspx It's technically for the FN, but is the same size as the CN :))

    My leg hurts really bad, but I have no insurance

    I'm sorry this is happening, I can't even imagine. The US really needs free healthcare! [and the Quebec government needs to give us our free healthcare back!!!]

    Don't Think The Boys Are Happy With Me...

    I think they'll get over it! Chia has literally thrown things (toys, food bowl...) n my direction because I was facing away from her for too long when she wanted my attention. Little buggers have personality that's for sure...

    Air Freshener = Deadly?

    I read a long time ago - I forget where - that those spray air fresheners are terrible for chinchillas, and that someone had known someone who sprayed some in the same room as a chinchilla and it died the next day. For that reason, I'm really careful and close the doors whenever my mother in...

    Taking pictures of your chins?

    I take all my photos on sunny afternoons, no later than 2-3pm, with the chins in their cages. While Abby hates the camera, Chia loves she attention she gets from being photographed. I always say things like "you're so pretty" or "how'd you get so pretty?!" while I take pics, and I think she...

    Money

    For Chia, I paid $50 from a backyard breeder. My first cage was $150, and all the supplies i got cost me $50. Later I bought a CritterNation brand new for $337, and put at least $300 into the cage making it look as nice as it does with tile and etc... Abby was $100 from a breeder, but we...

    I'm so angry at my little brother right now.

    Cooked white rice will clear up diarrhea in dogs very quickly if the problem is something they ate. My sister's dog ate a whole chicken carcass he grabbed from the counter when he was a puppy (he was a very big puppy), and he pooped ALL OVER THE HOUSE while everyone was out. White rice cleared...

    Finally was allowed to give scritches!

    Congrats!! Chia won't let me give her scritches very often, and we've had her for 11 months. She'll let my bf though. Both chinnies like my bf more than me for some strange reason... it could be because he's around a lot more since he works from home (ugh lucky so-and-so...) and the chinnies...

    Cleaning up chin hair

    I use a sticky roll and a vacuum, and then one of those wet jet swiffer rip-offs to clean up the dust off the floor. Works wonders!
