Memorials / Gizzie

« on: January 13, 2012, 08:31:38 PM »

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.

General Chat / HELP!

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.

Guestbook / Hello everyone!

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.

General Chat / Question about food (and color)

« on: August 16, 2008, 07:41:39 PM »

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?

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?
