I think its a good thing. My chin is the same way she will come out for 20-30 minutes and then go back in the cage, its her home and she seems happiest there.

I have moved her 3 times now where I have set the room up the same way for her each time. There is a period of adjustment where she is much more timid than usual but it goes away. You can set everything up in the same place but the sounds and smells of the place will be totally different and...

Haha I miss having that kind of imagination, can you imagine going to some magical land full of chinchillas. To be a kid...

that's horrible, did you say she lost two kits, maybe there was some kind of complication with the pregnancy that carried over. So sad I hope she is in peace.

I am fortunate enough to have the space where I set up a bedroom to be a chinchilla room. The walls are lined with untreated pine board so there is nothing she can chew on that would be harmful I have lots of carboard forts for her to explore. So she has a 4 level cage that she lives in but I...

I sit indian style and when she leeps into my lap I kinda surround her with my arms and stand up as I scoope her underneith. Of course I don't do this everytime she is in my lap or she would catch on. You have to kinda use your whole body to catch them and you can only do it if they are in...

I have to assume it is a show of affection and familiarity. I believe face to face contact is one way they communicate friendship.

I thought I was lucky becasue she always went down in the bedding then one day she decided that was too far and started going on the shelf. I threw in the towl litterally and I just put a towl down where she goes now to keep it clean.

oh my gosh that is so sudden it must feel unreal. I reccomend making an appointment for counsiling. That is a heavy load of greif to process and I reccomend doing it with an expert. I know the actor Liam Neeson lost his wife in a sudden ski accident, he talks about it in quite a few...

do you have a link to it on the internet? You can copy paste it by highlighting the whole URL address.

Its a real shame you want to rescue them from horrible conditions but if you buy them all you do is fund their operation and they will fill the cage on the very next shipment with another poor creature. Its terrible really, do not google anything about Petsmart distribution warehouses either...

I switched my girl from Tradition to Oxbow a few years back becasue Tradition is so hard to find in small quantities. I started slowly introducing the oxbwo in small quantities. I think as long as you do it slowly it will be fine. No need to rush it you can keep updating the mix for weeks so...

That is so sad to hear, good luck I hope everything works out ok. We all count or blessings for every moment we have/had with them. They are so wonderful and its why it hurts so much.

she's beautiful. I never noticed how much a chins little hands stand out in contrast to the ebony fur, so cute.

Seems like some people with out a lot of experience have a casual approach to breeding and that concerns me a lot. I cringe when I see posts on here "getting a mate for my ______"

beautiful girl!

When the doctor trimmed the teeth did they use gas? I saw a doctor doing this on youtube and he anesthetized the chinchilla while working on the teeth.

that is great its such a bummer people not only do so little research on what their pet needs but then at the slightest problem they just dump the issue on someone else. I wish there was some kind of test for being a pet owner. Bless you for giving Hope hope.

Is there a web site for the show and an agenda of activities will there be vendors and such can someone paint a picture of what occurs at a show?

Mine has given me this vocal response at times. sometimes if she is not in the mood for comapny or to be touched, its very rare but yep that seems like the annoyance sound. Over 12 years I still think I have only heard her make a sound a couple dozen times.
