You did all that in 5 minutes? If this is a game it needs to stop. You can't dry her off in 4 minutes.

Get her out from under the dresser dry her off, put her back in her cage. Do not give her a bath till she is dry. You're going to have to watch for fungus.

I would say Mosaic, then again it looks kind like it might be beige. Can you take a picture on something white?

Q & A / Re: Chinchilla problem - More family related
« on: January 21, 2008, 09:39:48 PM »I agree. Urinating is a clear defense mechanism. She is saying "Stay away! You're scaring me!" She will never come to trust your father or you if he continues to force her to be held when she is clearly not ready for that.
Also, what he is doing is potentially VERY dangerous! Chinchillas have a floating ribcage, which means the bottom of the rib cage is open, not attached to anything. I would be willing to bet money your father is squeezing her around the midsection when he grabs at her. This could easily break one of her ribs and puncture a lung, which would cause her to die a slow and very painful death. PLEASE have him read this. If he is going to keep this chinchilla in the house he MUST be willing to let her learn to trust him on her own time. He will never gain her trust the way he is doing things now. Every time he grabs at her he is scaring her. It would be better to place the chinchilla in someone else's home than allow her to live a life of terror.
I agree also watch for fur chewing. Also agree the chins need a new home where this will not happen.

Q & A / Re: Getting ready to bake my first batch of Apple wood....
« on: January 07, 2008, 02:06:10 PM »
You need to boil them about 45 mins. to an hour, then bake them on 175-250 about 5-8 hours. Make sure the wood is dry dry or it will grow mold. I've heard people say they do this overnight. Good luck. I looked on another forum they say to boil 30 mins then bake at 250 for 2 hours. Don't burn it, and do not put in plastic bags.

I've had to hold my ctrl and alt to preview, I'm guessing it has to do with your pop up blocker or your settings on your computer.

I have 5 dogs, they like to look at the chins in the cages, never alone and never at play time. I also have 2 Parrots, I never let them in with the chins.

When we have to run from forum to forum to see what is going on with this chin makes it alittle harder for us to help you.......seems this chin was pg. and you did not tell us this. When I found this OK, so it seems that she miscarried then. Why would you leave this out? It would have given us more of an idea of what was going on.

« on: December 30, 2007, 04:10:58 PM »
Get the chin to the vet today or it will die. More time looking for an emergency vet then looking up what it could be would be better then anything. Have you asked anyone on this site for help finding a vet? http://www.ontariochinchillas.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=131
