Okay. Thanks, Michelle.

Hi Ann, I just might do that. Can I give him wheat or a cheerio as a treat, or is that maybe what caused him to get constipated last week to begin with?

Hi Megan, I heard (and I think it was in thread here) that pellets are secondary and too many can cause weight gain and take away from the hay they should be eating - that hay is the most important for Chins....

Hi Ash, He has a 400 ml drinking bottle and he takes about 50 ml of that in a 24 hour period...so is he getting enough water? I don't know. What's enough water?

He gets 2 TBSP of oxbow pellets per day and all the Oxbow timothy hay he can eat. He is used to getting a treat to get him into his cage after his run at night. Can I give him wheat in small quantities?

I am soooo confused. Chi Chi's poops got small and light brown about a week ago, which concerned me, so I took him to the vet. She gave him a once over, and said to not give him any grains (which means no more wheat) or raisins, and feed him romaine lettuce, carrots and apples. I was also to...

Well, I ended up just taking it away. Cuddling seemed not an option...the cuddle buddy was so soaked by the time I took it away I almost felt sorry for it! (Ewwww). The next day ChiChi was angry with me. When I approached the cage he turned his back on me. But by playtime that night he came...

I just gave my chin a new cuddle buddy and he won't leave it alone. He seems to be obsessed with it and he even protects it from me (he attacked my leg when he thought I was going after it). Is this normal? I'm worried that he will wear himself out:hmm:

I've visited and called many pet stores around here and no one seems to carry it. It's very frustrating and Chi Chi is getting down to crucial levels. I'll look into Oxbow, but so far haven't been able to find that either. Thanks for your help. I'll keep looking.

I need to find an on-line pet store that sells Versele-Laga Chinchilla Pro pellets in Canada, and can't seem to find one. The store where I usually get them ran out and won't be ordering for a while. Meanwhile I'm running out and need some pretty darn quick. Anyone know of any?

Sometimes Chi Chi barks at night (he's in my bedroom) and like Pookie126 said, I just call out his name and he stops. During the day he's barked in his sleep as well. I just go in to see if he's okay. Sometimes he'll wake up and look at me with sleepy eyes then lay back down to continue his...

I share my bedroom with Chi Chi's cage. All cords are picked up and the room is Chi Chi proofed before he is let out. He gets playtime on average from 9:30 - 11:30 PM and knows that when it's time to go back into his cage he will be rewarded with fresh hay, new pellets and a very small piece of...

Thank you everyone for your welcomes and for all that info. My rabbits and Chin do have separate play areas. I let the Motley and Christian (velveteen and Lop) out in the living room; Chi Chi is let out in my bedroom and I sit in the doorway so I can keep them separate and watch them all at the...

Hi there, My name is Pam and I am a new Chinchilla owner. His name is Chi Chi - I know, not very original, but that's what his name was before, he answers to it, so I don't want to change it.;) I rescued Chi Chi from the Humane Society about six weeks ago. I had read up on Chinchillas before...
