I comb out the mats regardless of the size. The longer the mats remain, the bigger they will get. It is annoying to the chinchilla but does not hurt them since the mats are made up of dead fur that is stuck to new fur. You will get some bald spots but those will grow out in a couple of...

He's a cute little beige boy. Don't cover the cage with a blanket. Shins need air circulation and the cage could overheat if covered. His behavior is normal. Give him a little timeto get used to you by putting your hands in his cage and letting him crawl over them. Once he is comfortable...

A recent post concerning how hot is too hot reminded me of 2 recent rescues that came in to us. We received 2 females that came with a bunch of junk food, bad treats, plastic and the dreaded exercise ball. As always, I gave the girls some time to calm down after the excitement of a new home...

If he had malo, he would not be chewing like crazy. He would stop chewing. He needs to be force fed. That means to feed him even if he does not want to eat. Also, ALL of those treats you mentioned are bad for him. Stop them immediately and only give him pellets and hay until he is better...

Even if the temperature does not kill them immediately, they are miserable. Think about wearing a heavy winter coat at that temperature. You would be very uncomfortable very quickly. Why would you want a beloved pet to be miserable and in jepordy of losing his life. If you cannot keep the...

If you add shelves one at a time to the upper level and give her time in between to get used to the new shelf, she should be fine. I have a girl with a cataract in one one and you would never know it unless you looked at her eye.

I have some homo beige chins that tend to squint when the overhead lights are on in the chin room. They stop when they are in their houses or if you turn the bright lights off and leave the smaller bulbs on. This only occurs with one line of my homo beige chins and the homo beige mother of...

If I had a way to get them here, I would definitely take in a few. Anyone up for a railroad to Colorado?

I dust once a week and my chins are fine. No skin problems.

Don;t use any of the supplements you listed. They are protein pellets. Too much protein can cause liver damage. I had a female rescue that came to me very swollen in the belly but thin everywhere else. She was being fed Mazuri mixed with protein pellets (2 lbs of Mazuri to 1 lb of protien)...

It sounds like something really frightened him. Is he ok now?

Bouncing baby boy.

I have never seen it on any safe woods list do I would avoid it.

Chinchillas should not eat corn so I would not recommend it. they are probably eating less because the food is full of fillers. I noticed they also sell treats that are not good for chinchillas such as dried fruit.

I would opt for sewing ties to the corners of the fleece. It seems to me the ties should be able to keep it in place. Just make sure that the ties are long enough for the fleece to lay flat. You can also put a piece of fleece between the bottom of the pans and the wire that holds it up. No...

I found out that a judge has dismissed the case.

From what I have seen, missing pieces do not fill in. Scratches and cuts will heal. If the ear folds or creases curing the healing, it will remain that way.

Nice job! Well thought out and I love that you continue to adjust it to his needs.
