I have a female chinchilla to rehome. Her name is Melody, and I am asking $200, or $250 for her and her belongings (no cage). She is friendly outside of her cage, inside her cage she is a bit sassy. She loves chin scratches, doing parkour, treats, running on her wheel, and chew toys :) She's...

Yes of course! I was so worried about her, its such a relief that shes ok and not fur chewing anymore :)

Hi guys, so I ended up making a conclusion on what was happening with Melody. Basically, over a few days I noticed some patches of fur were getting shorter or just completely bald. So, my hypothesis was that its impossible for the fur to just trim itself, since some patches of her fur had fur...

If I'm remembering correctly, I think Twilight Chinchillas uses soy paint. But I'm not sure, so take that with a grain of salt haha. I want to order something from her sometime soon when I finish re-doing one of my girls' cage !

This is Melody, she has these weird bald spots on both back legs. I just noticed it a day ago, so it's not been there long at all. Her activity levels seem fine, shes always enthusiastic about feeding time, etc. So, the bald spots are not hot to touch, don't seem to be painful, not flaky, and...

My reason for asking is because I'm still working on bonding my two girls, its going well except for Melody chasing Zoey away and making some little noises, which of course is normal and expected. I was wondering if trimming her whiskers a little bit will make her calm down a bit? By no means is...

Ok I'll do that! And yes I did it in a neutral area that neither of them have ever been before so they weren't territorial over it. It's good to hear that the whole posturing thing is normal for introductions, I was worried it was a bad sign. Overall I think things went well and I'll be sure to...

I asked this question on reddit and didn't get much answers, so I'm going to copy and paste it here too. "How to proceed with bonding Today I introduced my 2 female chins after having the new one Melody quarantined for 30 days. I had them in a cage above cage situation, with scent swapping and...

One of my chinchillas Zoey is about the same size as my new 3 month old chinchilla. Shes 401.3 grams, and shes approximately 1 year old. Shes always been a bit small and doesn't really finish all her food, which I feed 2 tbsp of oxbow essentials chinchilla food every day as well as lots of...

Bonding is going well, she seems comfortable with coming up to us and climbing on us during playtime. Still doesn't like being picked up while she's in her cage though, but thats not surprising haha.

Shes ok, a little stressed, but we are giving her plenty of playtime (alone with us, not with the other chin) so she can feel a little better.

No they can't. There was a small gap in the blocked off part and Ivy bit zoey on the mouth again so we are going to keep them permanently seperated.

She lives in a seperate part of the cage, I divided my ferret nation in half.

Yeah, I did several things wrong and I probably should have stuck to my plan of quarantining and then starting introductions, but I was impatient and way too excited to see them get along, which didn't happen. I see my mistake and I knew it was a bad idea when I was going to put them together so...

Hi again! So recently I adopted a new chin named Ivy, she's about a year old and is much bigger than my old chin Zoey. I tried to get them to get along during playtime but instantly it turned into serious fighting, and my old chin Zoey has a scratch on her nose now. I'm wondering, does this mean...

No less than an hour!

Ok thank you! I'm kinda glad you confirmed its not a good idea because I wasnt 100% sure it would be safe.

Hi! I currently have 1 chinchilla named Zoey, and I want to get her a friend. I've talked with my mom about some options and I really like this one female chin that is almost the same age as Zoey (11 months), and is coming from someone who is rehoming due to their chinchillas buddy passing away...

Here she is!

I keep seeing yes but I want to make 100% sure. I have a java wood bird perch from petsmart, is it safe?
