Q & A / Whats ok?

« on: April 29, 2011, 08:16:04 AM »

I'll probably be heading to the pet store today. I wanted some opinions on whats good and and not so good. Like a hammock, is it a good idea? I know chins chew anything. I know plastic items aren't good. I took out the silent spinner wheel that came in the cage. It has plenty of chew marks. I don't think the previous owners attatched it to the cage. Instead of an igloo i bought a ferret ball that tubes can attatch to but no tubes. Some privacy but still well ventilated. Thats what the chins sleep in at petco. Thanks for any input.

I know they don't sweat. I'm gonna try to get my husband to put the other a/c in. I feel so bad he's stuck in the basement.

Q & A / Fan to cool

« on: April 26, 2011, 06:59:22 AM »

I have my chin in the basement until my husband puts the a/c's in. My Husbands been sick the past few days and doesn't do much. I'd really like to bring my chinchilla up so he can see me more. I go down to see him 3-4 times in the evening. I have a chin-chiller for him. Would a small fan help to keep cool at least at 1 of his 3 tiers.Maybe where he sits the most. The little fan has 3 speeds so i'd think low would be best? The room he'll be in doesn't have direct a/c but the 2 adjoining rooms will in the next week or so. Thanks for any advice..

No i don't let him run around. I have the dust house right outside his cage and he hops back in when he's done.

I have a chinchilla that i got from craigslist. He's not totally scared so thats good. I'm having trouble getting him to come to me which i know can take time. He'll take some food from my hand. Is there a trick that could help besides treats? He's pretty much a rescue since he was being neglected.

I just recently rescued a gray chin. I'm working on getting him to let me hold him. He was being neglected.
