I think I figured out how to get pictures on my own thread! :D
Charlie doing a catwalk on her wheel, Mouse in the middle of destroying his nice clean cage, Charlie sleeping on her wheel, and Charlie sleeping in her box. :)
Oh, and Mouse & I trying to take a picture together!♥

This was before Chico came into this world!
I think I should post a picture of Chico!
I will in the comment section.:thumbsup:

Very cute!

Just as a cautionary statement, those wheels are not chinchilla safe. Many owners have had the chinchillas get their legs caught in the spokes and ended up with chinchillas with broken legs. It would be best to remove the wheels immediately and order a chinchilla safe wheel. You can order a chin spin from quality cages, a silver surfer(or grape escape) from chinchillas.com, or you can buy a metal (not the plastic ones found in stores) flying saucer wheel. These are about the only chin safe wheels out there right now. The spokes and the wire running surface combine to make a health hazard for the chins.
 
One of these pictures are of Charlie & Mouse cuddling♥

The rest are of Chico & I playing with the webcam! :)

Thanks Ranch! I read these were fine as long as they had a diameter of 12'' so their backs don't get weird.. I will definitely order one, thanks so much for the warning!:D
 
A diameter of 12" is too small for chins, even the smaller guys usually. 15" is the recommended size.
 
Oh no! Thanks for informing me! I would have gotten a 12'' wheel...lol! I'll keep my eye out for a 15'' wheel and 1 of the 3 wheels Ranch mentioned! Thanks again!:)
 
The wheels Tab (Ranch) mentioned are all purchasable online, you won't find them in pet stores. Sometimes you can find them used on here, but it's pretty rare as most people keep these wheels for a long time once they buy them.
 
Thanks :) I'll start looking right away!

Any suggested websites?
Like, petco.com or whatnot?
I'm afraid I don't know where to start looking.. lol
 
They are adorable little chinnies. Just A's a note, the wheel you have is very light & your cage can handle it....the chin spin is very heavy so I'm thinking you will need some type of support with those type of cages. I have a couple of those from when I first had chins and the wire is not as strong as that of an Ferret Nation or Critter Nation etc....
