Hey, I have 2 chinchillas and I've had the flying saucer in their cage for a few months but they've yet to figure it out. Is there anything I can do to teach them how to use it?

Thanks for the advice, the towel made a bit of difference but it was difficult to arrange initially, she nearly got away from me! I'm still finding it difficult to steady their heads though, they keep turning their heads away from the syringe. I suppose I'll get a bit better at it with practice. I can't wait until they finish their medicine, they won't let me pet them anymore!

Health / Medicating chinchillas

« on: July 19, 2010, 05:59:22 AM »

My two chinchillas are sneezing and the vet says they have kennel cough. She gave me antibiotics for them but I'm having trouble administering the medicine. I have a syringe and am trying to get it in their mouths but they keep on wriggling and trying to get away. They're fairly skittish and I don't really hold them alot. Does anyone have advice on how to make this process easier? It's especially difficult as one of them is pregnant, I don't want to be too rough with them.
