It is a tree at my parents home , never been sprayed in its life so my chins are in for a new treat!

I have access to a fruiless mulberry tree. The questin is , is fruitless mulberry the same as fruited mulberry. And is it safe for chins? If it is ok to use I plan on pruning the tree and process the wood as normal, scrub,boil and bake. Thanks

Wood Question I took pictures of before and after cleaning - see attached. It seems to be only on the surface , I dissected a piece.

I was given some pear wood that has a green powder on it, looks like some kind of algea. I'm wondering if it ok to use, I can scrub it off with soap and water, but am wondering if whatever it is could still be there unseen. The wood was from an un-sprayed tree. Should I try to use it ? I still...

I got some wooden dowels and drilled half way into the shelf edge and the poo guard, just lined them up with a pencil mark, and then used a small amount of Elmers. Only needed slight clamping and after drying a light sanding. Shelves are really strong and keep the poop from getting everywhere.

The middle floor also helps makes the cage less likely to squeak and wobble when the fuzzy buts run on their wheel.

We have one of these, Edgar loves to bounce off the walls. The one down side is he has learned how to defeat the velcro holding the floor down and escape his "jail cell". So I had to go to the fabric store and get heavy duty snaps. It does the trick, he can't escape and he has no intrest in...

Welcome to the forum! I would get or make your chinchilla a wooden hidey house.If it is a plastic dust house you don't want him chewing on it. As for bedding, aspen or kiln dried pine is the suggested bedding. Don't worry about them sleeping, mine sleep most of the day and become active about...

My wife made fleece socks and we put soda bottles of frozen water in them, the chins don't chew the fleece and the chins just snuggle up to them to help keep cool, that and granite slabs along with a/c and the chins keep cool.

It's a cool toy, can you replace the wood on it after it's been de-barked?

It's definately normal all three of our boys bark in their sleep, I think it is chilli nightmares.

In our house sticks have become the choice treat, apple twigs are like chinchilla crack. They will do anything for them!

When we travel with our 3 boys I always give them 2 or 3 apple sticks to keep them busy during the ride. I think it helps callm them. On long trips I will also half way through the trip stop at a rest stop to check if anyone needs more water (water buddies are great if you can find them and...

Poplar is safe and slightly harder than pine,works well lasts a little longer than pine, but they will still chew on them. The down side is it is a little more expensive than pine. You can get it at lowes or home depot.

When we had that sort of problem, we asked our breeder for advice, she had us take away all treats and just offered hay and pellets with the addition of shredded wheat, that did the trick for us and edgar's poops became normal. Hope your chin gets better.

He needs a cuddle buddy Oscar does that when he's feeling frisky.

Edgar stole my glasses right off my head while I was putting hay in his bowl,he just walked up ,it looked like he was going to sniff me, like he always does, and in a flash he grabbed the nose bridge and took off for the lower level of his FN. Got them back as soon as I could,now my glasses have...

We take small soda bottles filled with water and freeze them,then put them in a fleece bag,so they don't chew the bottles. Place them on a chin chiller and the chins are happy. They snuggle right up to them to cool off. But a/c is always better.
