Sily! Hi Jamie,
 
   Thanks for correcting the #58 ... I didn't have a copy of the questions/answers and I thought it was right.
   doh!  You are right, I didn't even think about the bottles ... I never add water to bottle and always run them (78 bottles) through the dishwasher daily.  When you do something so simple all the time, it's just kind of a "given"/something that you don't think about someone else not doing.  blush
    I did something I am constantly talking about NOT doing ... remembering that newbies don't know about allot of stuff we as breeders, or long time chinnie lovers do, automatically with out thinking.  It's the simple, daily things, that if not taken care of, can kill a chin.

 Hello!
Jo Ann


Sily! Back to the questions!  71 through 100 have not been answered!!!  Sily!

(82)  Chinchillas really enjoy an exercise wheel, but avoid those in pet stores because they commonly are no larger 12 inches in diameter and is really too small and can actually cause a bend in the chinchilla's spine.   Try to find a 15-inch or larger wheel. Correct JM
