General Chat / Playtime/wheel time?
« on: September 27, 2014, 01:37:26 PM »
So im a little confused, I have a 4 month old chinchilla, should she be having playtime? Should she have a wheel in her cage? I did a bit of research and its 50/50 really, people state that chins shouldnt have a wheel or playtime before 6 months so they can gain all the weight ect... So im not sure, any helpful input would be great.

General Chat / Chinchilla in pain?
« on: September 25, 2014, 02:36:46 AM »
So Bubbles decided to fidget a little too much for me and she jumped out of my hands and landed perfectly on the floor. It doesnt seem like she hurt herself, I would say the fall was about 4 feet long. Im worried though, iv been inspecting her. Her poop is fine, shes eating, and drinking, and seems active. I'm just worried she might be hurt. On thing that I noticed is she like tilts her head and looks at me sometimes. I know that tilting of the head in chins is not good. But im not sure if this was their before the fall. I also am noticing teeth noises more, but this could be because iv been so worried.... She has been a weird eater since day 1. what she does is she eats half of a pellet and then throws the rest inside of the bowl. once shes done with eating half of every single one, she will eat half of the half, so in the end, her bowl has a bunch of like crushed pellets.. By the morning though she eats everything. Idk if im just paranoid or what. Could anyone help me out... Iv honestly been debating about taking her to a vet tomorrow or the day after if there are openings...

Edit: Ugh and like her ears are up, she seems completely fine, shes active, she comes to me. Im just so confused and lost about what to do. Shes 4 months old in two days! The last thing i want to do is lose her :(

General Chat / Chin drawing blood
« on: August 19, 2014, 10:01:45 PM »
So I have owned my chin for about a month now. She is adorable, she comes to my hands etc, however I can't feed her, or else she will bit my fingers or any soft part of my hand in deeply and draw blood. If I wear gloves, she will come up smell them and hop into my hands. I make sure to wash my hands and use sanitizer. I honestly don't know what to do, its quite painful and it takes a while for the scars to heal.. she just got the inner side of my thumb and got in so deep she got under my nail (I bled quite a bit). She is young she is about 3 months now, is she biting like this because she is still young? I blow on her  every time she bites. But she seems to pull harder.

Any help would be great, as I would personally like to tame her and I feel its working well, just the biting is painful as hell.

Q & A / Traveling long distances by car
« on: July 30, 2014, 05:53:45 AM »
So i did a bit of research, but I'm still not sure about a few things. People stated that its fine to take a chin on trips by car etc. Heres my question, how long can the chin be in the carrier before it starts freaking out, and should i have a collapsable cage for when I stop, for the chin to get some activity for like an hour or so. The trip is over 2k miles, so I'm just curious if anyones done a long trip like this.
