General Chat / safe to move chins back and forth from my place to my bf's?

« on: May 23, 2011, 06:11:50 PM »

i have an extra cage now bc i bought a cage that is 2 plus as big as there old cage. My boyfriend wants me to spend more time over there but i feel bad being away from my chins and having my mom take care of them. Would it be ok to move them back and forth or to much stress and i should just keep them at one or the other?

General Chat / Cats that don't have shots, safe to be around chins?

« on: May 22, 2011, 04:27:36 PM »

I may be moving into my boyfriends house. I may move my chinchilla cage over their first. He has two cats. They never go outside but they aren't up to date on their shots. Is it safe if I bring my chinchillas over to his house?

I know chinchillas aren't suppose to be a drafty place, but what about by a vent? Is that safe for them?

General Chat / are these Chin safe toys i got at petsmart?

« on: February 14, 2011, 10:46:29 PM »

I bought two new chew toys and i wasn't sure if they were chinchilla save even though it says they are. They are pretty much made out of the same thing. One is seagrass twists- savory sun dried grass made by ware and the other are 3 balls attached, each made with different grasses i belive, It doesn't say. One looks just like the seagrass twists and it is called nature balls and is natural. One of the other balls looks like it is oat hay and i'm sure about the other one.

Other Pets / Daisy holding her pladder 6 hrs and now 4 hrs

« on: February 06, 2011, 06:06:49 PM »

Daisy is holding her paddler 6 hrs and now 4 hrs. My mom thinks its because this week i have been off school this week..She was holding it for 6 hrs and this past week she has only been holding it for 4 hrs. I do put her on my bed at night after I take her out in the middle of the night when she wakes me up. I know that is a bad habit. One day this week I put her back in her cage afterwords and 2 hrs later after taking her out she woke me up. Is this normal? She has been almost house broken for 2 weeks now.

Thanks!

Other Pets / wet food bad for a puppy? traning?

« on: January 30, 2011, 09:51:55 AM »

My dad read in a few traning books that wet food isn't nutrious. Does anyone know if thats true?

Daisy is almost house tranined. Is it better to wait till she is completly house trained before I try to train her to sit, and what not?

Any good training ideas would be great.

THANKS!

Other Pets / New puppy bc I won a horse race!

« on: December 16, 2010, 07:01:28 AM »

I had an interesting weekend last weekend. I went to the race track with some friends after school on Thursday. I'v only been one other time. They explained as much as they knew about how to read the guide and pick a horse. My friend gave me $6 to bet and said if If i lose don't worry about giving the money back and if i win, to just give him $6 back. I bet on the 6th race, a trifecta, which means that you pick 3 horses that come in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, it any order. I did and I won $563! I couldn't believe it. They are like this never happens. I didn't beat at all the rest of the night. I put the money in my savings. On sat i went shopping with my friend. I wanted to go in a pet store to look at animals of course. I fell in love with this little girl! She is a ShiChi, which is a Shih Tzu,Chinese Crested. She was born in sept. She is soo well behaved. It took 2 days for the chins to get used to her. I think i'm going to Name her daisy. I wanted to name her after one of the horses that i won, but they wern't good names. I still have to do some more research about the bread.
