General Chat / Sleeping in the open?

« on: November 16, 2014, 12:20:13 PM »

I apologize if this is a silly question, but I'm a new Chin owner as of Friday!

I've noticed that my chin, Eli, doesn't sleep in his little home/hideouts. He just sleeps in a random open place in his cage. Is this normal? I thought they normally liked being confined/hidden while sleeping.. Maybe he doesn't like his hideouts. Should I buy him a new one? I just want to make sure my little one is comfortable!

Does any one else's chin sleep in the open?

General Chat / Cheapest Site to Order Exercise Wheel?? (Canada)

I can only find US websites that sell Chinchilla-safe wheels.

It's pretty frustrating that pet stores don't sell them. The only ones around here are plastic, and only 12 inches at largest. I know that the wheel should be at least 14" and NOT made of plastic.

Wheels like the Chin Spin and Silver server are between $50-$75.. Which I might be willing to pay that price, but my estimated shipping is $40 or more. Making the wheel over $100. Do any of you know any Canadian websites that sell these wheels, or similar wheels?

If not, I'll end up paying the $100+ because I do feel it is important to have. I just hope to find a better deal/lower shipping cost!

Hello all!

I've had an interest in Chinchillas for quite a while now, but only recently have been looking into owning a Chin. I've been doing a lot of research, and making a checklist of what I need and want for my Chin. I'm really excited about preparing for my new Chin, and I thought this would be a good community for me to join if I have any further questions... and of course I will share pictures and stories of my new baby when he/she is finally here!
