Things your chin has destroyed.

[ChinchillaSteve]

Title speaks for itself
What things did your chin release his wraith on?

Mine:

Chewed up the cabinets in the room
The walls had their share aswell
Cage bars
Their hidey house
My wallet
My glasses, the soft rubbery part (wear contact lenses now)

Theses are the things I can remember but there are probably many others I can't come up with right now. :neener:

Ohh Let's see....

Base boards in almost every bathroom.

Bathroom doors.

A fan (Luckily no one got hurt)

My social life because all my money goes to them or in my vet fund.

That's about it so far. They haven't gotten their little teeth or paws on anything important *knock on wood*

 

[Spoof]

Over the last 10 years, and not all the same chin has;
Devoured 14" of christmas lights, except the bulbs.
Been in, and out of at least three different toilets.
Peed on a judge.
Stolen my rotary phone, cord, receiver and all.. found it 10' away under the bed.
Chewed on pretty much every object I've owned or currently own.
Good when roommates want to take things - oh! that one has chew marks, must be mine....
Gotten into more trouble than anyone ever considers when they first bring home a cute, cuddly little chinchilla.

 

[mishellyshel]

pretty much my whole bathroom!

When I used a ferret nation the chins chewed a hole in the wall I don't know how they got their mouth around it...but they did. They also chewed up a marker bored that was hanging on the wall next to the cage and the whole side of the office door.

So, everyday I had to remind myself to keep the cage off the wall and away from EVERYTHING!

None of mine have destroyed anything yet, but I keep a very close eye on them since I am in my parents house that they have up for sale. I don't want to have to replace anything. I am getting my own house in a month, so I will let everyone know then what they destroy since everything is wood... LOL

My chins have ate my vacuum cleaner cord - I plugged it up and turned it on and it blew my circuit breaker. They also ate my cable modem cord in half. My walls in the new chin room have paint missing, which I don't even see how it was possible for the chins to chew through the runs to get to.

 

[kendra]

not much luckily so far, the bottom of bookcases, started on the floorboards (both stopped when I made a playpen), most recently a pair of headphones luckily wasn't something that was plugged in and could cause electrocution thank goodness

 

[JennyBug]

Weirdly enough, Carmen ate one of my student's tests last year. I was grading while watching them play in the bathroom, and she jumped on my lap and ran off with the paper! She also took a chunk out of the gel grip of my favorite pen...

 

[Gizmo24]

basically anything and everything he can get his little mouth on! lol

 

[Tanya]

My chins are professional eyebrow stylists :laughitup:

 

[jmdebb]

oh do we really need to go there...:laughitup:

my woodwork in the bedroom [one of their play areas].. even tho i stop them the second one starts to nibble, over the years,,ugh!!

and one of my doors...i had the cage too close to the door and angel killed it, and it's an old fashion door.... i won't let that happen again. thankfully she is okay.

 

[Rob Walker]

Xbox 360 Power Cable
Molding in our bedroom (only about an inch)
A chunk out my dyson ball vacuum
Magazines

 

[AZChins]

All my furniture has some form of rodent damage. They've destroyed multiple textbooks, the vanity in the bathroom, all the baseboards, hairbrushes, window shades, miniblinds, etc etc etc etc etc. The only way to ensure that you will not have all of your belongings chewed upon is to make sure that the chins are not physically able to get to them. They CAN get on top of bookcases and other furniture somehow, so even that will not protect things.

It's okay though, I don't own anything that is worth anything. If you never buy new furniture because the chins will just destroy it, I suppose you will save a lot of money in the long run...

 

[Siylvat]

Lets see...
A DS charger
Took a chunk out of my bedpost
a few figurines got their ears bitten off
a few baskets are chewed
One of them pulled pieces out of the wall one time, made sure to move the cage away from the wall atleast a foot after that...
A Belt has bite marks in it now

I'm sure there are more things...boy are they quick though. And tricky, we have to be extra careful when they are in their playpen. If it is to close to things they will try to pull them through the bars and eat them.

We have been getting better at watching them. I don't think they have destroyed anything in a while now.

 

[Jenn]

Tink has gone through 2 fan cords, taken the paint off the wall in one spot, trim, took a chunk out of the bathroom cabinet,...I'm sure I've left out a lot. It is incredible how destructive they can be in such a short time!!!

 

[Chinniechantel]

My favorite coach shoes! I still wear them sometimes to outdoor events...they have lots of nibbles on only one shoe. And I don't even have a dog to blame it on!

 

[saras]

haha... I thought that I was so smart when I built our new house and designed the chinchilla room with all tile and no baseboards... just bullnose tile edging. Too bad that I didn't think about the doors or the mouldings around the doors... duh! All of that has nibbles on it everywhere. The chin-room vacuum has seen better days too... they have nibbled on the cord (I think every inch of the cord has nibbles on it). They also decided that they really liked the texture that was sprayed on the walls in their closet. They really are some of the most destructive little guys... but they are so darn cute! How can you stay mad at them!

 

[3CsMommy]

Destroyed that they *weren't* supposed to:

Paint/Plaster in the living room
Part of the shower curtain behind the cage
Every single zip tie on their QC, including the ones under the pan
The clips on Crash's Super Pet quarantine cage
Baseboards in the bathroom
Bathroom door stop (rubber part)
A seamstress' tape measure (with the help of my foster kitten)
A 1/4" patch my left eyebrow
More scabs than I care to remember (hence my tag line)

 

[Sendra]

My sanity, Glasses [lens and frame], chair leg, perfume stand, baseboards, hand carved goat figures, wooden toilet seat, fake bamboo plant, countless makeup containers... Uhg. D: But I love her.

Edit: Thought of a few more. Wood paneling on a sliding closet door, a solid wood door, and my wallet. x_x
