Moving animals overseas isn't easy. You'll really have to look into customs/agricultural laws to see, but I have heard of that limitation.

Get their 2nd cut.

I'd go with fungus treatment too. Those are strange places for it to pop up at first though. Maybe dust mom and sibling with Tinactin too for preventative measures?

Agreed, that is very tiny. You'll be very lucky if she pulls through.

If you're going to be keeping two males together, I don't see the point. Neutering doesn't necessarily change anything with how they'll be toward the other chin.

I hope everyone's having a good time. Sounds like it was a good turn out.

Chins can tell the quality of the hay and that could by why she's not going for it. I personally prefer Kleenmama's hay and all of my chins love it.

Hope you all have a safe trip!

Scratch that last about WA. I am not thinking...they won't be ready to go by then. However, if I decide I have other animals, I'll post them.

Just found out that I will have transport available to the Washington State show this coming weekend. PM me if interested!

I have three kits ready to go to new homes towards the end of October or can be held after the CA State show next January. They are out of a 2012 CA State RCC standard male, Bowen lines and the 2012 ECBC Nationals RCC, La Paloma bred with Jags/Furball lines. All would make great pets or would...

Its a good cage. Just take out all of the plastic and you should be fine.

A lot of people make fleece liners for the entire cage floor. Some also potty train the chin (for pee) and just switch out the liners weekly. Others do just use them as pee pads, but probably change them sooner.

She was probably nipped by another chin or had a cut somehow.

A lot of people adopt from shelters/rescues. You can bond with a chinchilla at any age and 2 years old is very young still. It really depends if you only want one chin, if so, then the pair wouldn't be a good idea. I've taken in chins that are 5+ years old and they've bonded with me just fine.

Hay cubes are much easier in terms of cleanliness. In my experience though, I find my chins don't like them as much, the older they get. With hay, its not quite the same. I prefer loose hay over hay cubes myself, but offer both just to change it up. My chins will eat most if not all of their...

So sorry to hear the news. I really hope she pulls through!

Be happy he isn't a hump monster! Some get that way and others don't and you can't really predict it. :D

I never used mine. I just added pine shelves for my FNs.

I've heard people adding unflavored and unsweetened canned pumpkin to the critical care and/or ground pellets to add fiber. I'm sure it adds its own flavor as well to make it interesting to them. Good luck!
