General Chat / POPCORNING

« on: March 19, 2012, 06:16:14 PM »

Do chinchillas 'popcorn'? or is it just guinea pigs who do this little happy dance? My chinchilla 'happy dances' all the time, or so it seems from his little leap.

General Chat / picking up my chinchilla

« on: February 21, 2012, 12:40:42 PM »

Snickerdoodle seems to despise being held. He kicks whenever i pick him up.  I know I'm not hurting him. Could this just be that i have a very independent chin?

Q & A / Eating tissues!!?

« on: February 08, 2012, 07:08:05 PM »

my daughter scoops out the poop from the cage with kleenex and our guy is obsessed with eating them! Is that safe for him? What about the boxes? I worry about the bleaches and dyes in them.
Also I've read that paper towel rolls are good toys but our chin just eats them! Is that ok as well?
Thanks for the answers! This our first chinchilla and we don't know much.

I live in a small nyc apartment and cannot devote a room to snickerdoodle.we got a pet enclosure/gate but the bars are 1and1/2 inches apart and he has tried to esto mention he can get stuck or hurt! Does anyone have a playpen that's high enough to.prevent jumping out and of the right gauge thickness so he cant gnaw out? The one we have now is 36 inches high so far no escapes. We need a play area large enough to fit human adults as well as our chinchilla. PLEASE HELP!!
