I am sorry about your chins but with all the cleaning you have been doing and Tucker getting medication at least you know he will be safe.

My chins were pretty easy going and had been handled a lot when we got them so I didn't have any trouble with them. But when I had first gotten rats I couldn't get them to trust me. One day I moved thier cage into the livingroom and put it right next to the couch, while I watched TV I just left my hand in thier cage trying not to move it. They were running over it in a matter of a couple of minutes by the end of the week I could pet them... they just got used to me I guess.

I don't understand how you can chin proof a room anyway... One of mine got out one day and the first thing he tried to do was eat the baseboards! Lol.

We use a pack and play to let our guys run around together. The only thing is that they can jump up to the side and get out. So we have to stand right next to it incase they get up to the side railing. But I have to closely supervise mine when they are together because I don't want them to have babies. But it works if you are going to supervise their play time or you can cover the top of the pack in play with stroller mesh... Mine don't chew on stuff other than wood so I am lucky and this works for us.

Health / Re: Vet Visits

« on: July 30, 2010, 06:38:09 PM »

I am new here too and have spent the day looking for a vet in my area that has worked with chinchillas... I was surprised how few vets actually see small animals/exotics. It looks like I will have a choice between 3 (these are the ones I haven't called yet but I have heard that they do see chinchillas). A few vets had listed on thier website that they see exotics and small animals but when you call them they don't anymore. My chins are fine but I want to take them into a vet so I have a relationship with someone if they were to get sick.

Courtney your cage looks awesome. Did you guys build that from scratch or modify an existing cabinet. I am asking because I would like to modify a china closet that I have and was wondering if I could get some tips. I was thinking of covering the inside with melamine and putting all new shelves in. I know that I need to cover edges of melamine with metal but what else should i know?
Thanks
