I noticed you mentioned greens stuck in his teeth. That could be your problem. Stop the greens. He does not need them and they can cause digestive issues.

My biggest tip for all of you is to be positive when they are being calm and not biting. a treat will help. Also, never put down a squirming or biting chin. If you do, you will teach them to wiggle and bite to get put down. Always wait until they are calm before putting them back. I do this...

I have regular pans that are at least 5 or 6 years old that I ordered and my chins use pine shavings. there are no rust spots or stains anywhere on the pans. I clean the pans with vinegar once a week when I change out the bedding. I do have pans that came in with rescues that do have the rust...

I have seen chins wag their tails when they are "in the mood" or angry. It does not matter that you are not a chin. They will still try to hump you if they feel like it.

Hey, everyone. Has anybody ever heard of a chinchilla getting chickenpox? I was just diagnosed with shingles and need to know if they can catch the virus from me.

Mount Zion Chins is correct! Her mother is a Dark ebony (Color Class champion) and her father is a TOV white mosaic. My introduction to her arrival occurred when I was cleaning the cage next to hers. I heard a lot of squeaking coming from her cage. I looked over and her mother was in her...

I would also cut out all the treats and the apple juice. That stuff can cause digestive issues and is not good for him at all. He does not need tummy trouble on top of everything else. If he will not drink out of his bottle, you need to give him water with a syringe by squirting it into his...

Fill the bottle completely with very little air space at the top. Put on the cap, turn it spout down and smack it on the side with your hand a couple of times. This will get the air out of the tube and make some water come out forming a vacuum. If you do not do this, the vacuum may not form...

Unfortunately, if Mojo won't stop humping Eli, you cannot leave them together. Eli does not want to be dominated so he turns and fights back. This can lead to much worse and it can happen the next time they are together. If you leave them together, they will end up fighting and possibly...

You need a new vet. Mushy poop from a chin is not normal, it is diarrhea and needs to be treated immediately to keep the chin from dehydrating. What were the results of the testing? At this point, I would pull all pellets and critical care and feed hay only. Make sure the water bottle is...

This picture is of a little female born here. Just for the fun of it ( I already know the answer since I bred her) I would like people to guess her color and her parents' colors. I think this could be a learning opportunity for some of our members. Her name i s Ilmare' but she ended up with...

To me, and this is just my opinion, it seems fishy to me to meet in a parking lot. I prefer people come to my home and see how they should be taken care of. I also have paper work that goes with each chin and I don't like doing it on the hood of a car. They also stay longer and ask more...

She was pretty heavy before and it looks like the weight loss did her some good. If you find the wheel is the cause, just give it to her at playtime.
