I've been gone from the site for a while, but I just wanted everyone to know that my baby Giz has passed away. I'm not sure what happened, one day he was acting funny and laying around not moving much. I took him to the vet and brought him back home with medicine, but he didn't make it through the night. He was my youngest. Hammy is still going strong and I hope it stays that way, she's my baby.

I've noticed that Hammy has been sneezing quite a bit and I was wondering if I should be worried.

Hammy isn't a boy...he's a she, and Gizzie's a boy, and he tried to mate with Hammy! I don't know what to do, I'm not going to put them in the same cage now but is it stressful for them to be in the same room? 
I don't want to get rid of one of them, but I don't know if it's bothering them being in a close space.

Actually I'm hoping someone on here could tell me what color they are because I can't figure it out. Hammy is almost a year old and Gizzie is maybe 2-3 months old? I'm not exact on his age, the pet shop didn't have a lot of information about him, but I had to take him home, I couldn't just leave him there all alone.

I'm from Missouri, in a small town. I wanted to join this forum to be able to talk about my chins, with others who love chinchillas as much as I love mine, and also to learn from people who are more experianced with them than I am.
I only have two pets living with me at the moment, my chins Hammy, and Gizzie.

Thats part of the reason I want to swich, I have no idea what kind it is.
The petshop where I get food for Hammy keeps the food in a big tub and it's labled Chinchilla food, and you scoop it out into a bag to take home, and the petshop where Gizzie came from sells bags of food but it is just clear and has no name on it.

I've been feeding Hammy the food from the petshop where I bought him, but they have stopped getting as much of it in as they did, I think they are going to stop getting it soon. When it comes to Gizzie the petshop he came from has plenty of food. My biggest concern is that the food I have for Gizzie and the food I have for Hammy don't look alike and I'm worried I may be getting something that isn't chinchilla food from one of the pet shops (neither place sells it in packages, just by the bag full out of a storage box). I'm thinking of ordering food on-line for both of them so that they have the same kind, and so that I know I'll be getting chinchilla food and I was wondering what the healthiest kind would be to order, and how much of it I should order at a time.
As for the color part of this question, I'm having a hard time figuring out which color my babies are, could someone help me if I put up a few pictures?

I never had this problem with Hammy, but I've never been to a pet shop where they didn't give the animals bottles.

Q & A / I need help with my new baby.
« on: August 16, 2008, 01:52:22 PM »
Hello, I'm new to this website and I joined because eveyone on here seems to know a lot that could help me.
I've had my chin Hammy for almost a year and I said I would only ever have him because he was the baby of my house and I didn't think he would like to share that spot. That being said I happend into a pet shop last week and they had one baby left. I went back everyday for a week looking at him until I decided just to get him. Gizzie is home now and in his new cage away from Hammy untill I make sure he's not sick, I've had him for two days, but I have a problem.
At the pet shop he had his water in a dish, and here at home I only let Hammy have a bottle, so that's what I have for Gizzie too, but he's not drinking out of it, I have to give him a small dish every two hours so that he will drink, but I hate doing that because when I have to work no one is going to be home, I've already missed a day at work so that I can be with him, but thats not going to work again. Any ideas on how to get him used to the bottle?
