If you do decide to get rid of it, I am definitely interested.

General Chat / Re: Give some female names for me
« on: July 25, 2009, 09:55:05 PM »
Because I'm absolutely horrible at coming up with names, I use http://www.behindthename.com/ It tends to cover a bit of everything--cultural, religious, historical, mythological, along with origins and meanings of most of the names on the site.

Q & A / Re: Angry little man
« on: July 16, 2009, 02:27:56 AM »
I second being patient with him and maybe incorporating some of his old stuff into the new cage.
I've heard of bath dust irritating people's lungs before. If you're using the fine, powdery dust, perhaps looking into a more sand like dust could help. I don't think its quite as good as the other, but it could be less irritating if you don't want to wear a mask while dusting your fuzzy.

Q & A / Re: Feeding ice to chins
« on: April 30, 2009, 10:27:47 PM »
As far as I know, its ok, as long as it isn't right out of the freezer (so cold that anything damp will instantly stick) and as long as your chinnie isn't getting too wet from it. I usually hand feed crushed ice to my chinchilla when he's looking too warm...it helps to cool him, and he thinks he getting a special treat

I agree with Sweetness, sounds like he was probably dreaming.
It freaked me out the first few times my chinnie did the same thing. He made the noise, I went to peek in on him, and found him sound asleep.

Q & A / Re: Wheels
« on: November 08, 2008, 02:10:33 AM »
I would suggest giving him a little time. My Lucien wouldn't have anything to do with his wheel for a week or so. I just left it in his cage, and one day he was in it, running like mad. If he wasn't running in it, he was sleeping in it, or sitting sideways and swinging himself

Q & A / Re: Playing in the ball?
« on: November 29, 2006, 12:17:01 PM »
Keep an eye on him...chins can overheat easily in the runabout balls. I, personally, don't like them, but use one only when I'm cleaning Lucien's cage and to carry him upstairs for playtime if he's being too fussy about being handled.

I was just carving pumpkins with a friend and it got me wondering if chinnies can have pumpkin seeds.

General Chat / Chinny + Dog, how to expalin it isn't a good idea
« on: July 05, 2006, 07:56:17 PM »
My roomates want to get a dog, a puppy to be exact. I know it isn't a good idea, but I can't make them understand. I expressed my concerns as soon as the first mention of them getting the pooch was uttered, but that didn't stop them from bringing it home tonight so they could introduce the two of them.
In short, Lucien doesn't like the dog. If he wasn't lunging at the sides of his cage, he was frozen. He didn't seem to mind as long as the dog was asleep or being still and quiet. I know them bringing this dog home to stay is a bad idea, but I can't get them to understand it.
One of the roomies is already trying to come up with ways to keep them apart, but he doesn't realize out of sight doesn't mean out of mind...or out of smell for my lil guy. He's convinced more exposure would help, but I don't want to put Lucien through that kind of stress. If I could keep him upstairs, I wouldn't be as concerned, but I can't...its always too hot on the 2nd floor for him.
My question is: How can I make my roommate understand them bringing a dog into the apartment is a bad idea? Stating simple facts isn't working thus far...I've argued as to why its a bad idea, of how it could effect my chinny, that keeping the dog out of the room Lucien in probably won't make a difference. I'm out of ideas other than losing my temper, which I really don't want to do.
