General Chat / Home prepped treats??

« on: July 29, 2011, 07:06:01 PM »

So I have a dehydrator, and am home all day, so I figured If there are treats that I can make myself, then i might as well!
I was thinking like dried apples, strawberries, roses from the garden, or anything like that... What do you guys think would be good, but healthy for Gizmo??
Thanks!

Other Pets / A house full of "exotics"!!

« on: July 29, 2011, 05:36:11 PM »

Since im new around the block I thought I would share some pics of my pets!
So here goes .....
I have a Bufo Alvarius named Kermit, he is roughly 4years old!

A Hedgehog named Samson, and he is only 6 months old!

Here is Samson acting like the Karate Kid

2 Ferrets named Jerret (the sable colored one), and Flapjack (the lighter colored one), and my girlfriend holding them!

I will be getting another Ferret this weekend, he is another rescue, just like all my pets! And he is special needs, as he is blind!

And then of course my new chinchilla Gizmo!

Q & A / Re: New to Chins, and have a few questions!

Thank you for the quick reply!
I know the wheel isnt ideal, But it came with him, and I am going to order the ChinSpin pretty soon. I actually use the same one he has with my hedghog, so i know it cant be perfect for the chin! The previous owner did say that he is pretty good with plastic, and doesnt normally chew on it!

On the wire mesh part.... He came in a wire mesh cage, but I thought it was a lil rough on his feet! I was told that their feet dont stop bleeding easily, and it would be better to get a flat bottom cage! (I know there is all kinds of false info going around, but I actually found this cage at Petco for only $50, and it was originally for $219... I absolutely COULD NOT pass up the deal!).   I also know how to make fleece liners since I make them for my hedgie, and ferrets, so should I just do that?? I have a couple extra Snuggies around that I can chop up! LOL

Q & A / New to Chins, and have a few questions!

« on: July 29, 2011, 03:11:53 PM »

Ok, so I just adopted a male Chin from a home that didnt have enough time for him! He is a beautiful Standard grey! And after a day at my house, he has completely opened up, and has jumped on my hands ate off them, and even came out to play in the room! This morning I cleaned his cage, and took out all the carefresh that was in there, and replaced it with Pine bedding, but while I was putting it in, he jumped down and started chewing/eating it! So I immediately put a layer of carefresh on top (i only had a lil bit left) and then threw a lil bit of Timothy Hay on top, which he immediately began to munch on instead of the pine!
Im enclosing a pic of the pine bedding I used, and hopefully someone can tell me soon if its ok to use! If not I have some compressed newspaper pellets that I use for my ferrets litter trays! Is that ok to use also! If not I can totally go pick up some carefresh, Ive just never been a big fan of it!
