Q & A / Got a ?
« on: June 13, 2010, 11:52:12 AM »
As some of you know, Ive been wanting to rescue chincs in need. Well, ive found one, problem is, thats its a boy, and i have females. I do not want to end up with kits, so he is going into a different cage.
Q1. Can they still play together in the playroom ( after being introduced ), without making little chins?
Q2. How can i tell if my female is in season? Do they have a " heat " like a dog or something?

thank you guys and girls in advance

Health / Switching Foods
« on: June 01, 2010, 04:32:48 PM »
After all of my research, I have decided on switching my chins food. My old food was just crap basically. I know I have to switch them very slowly, as I have done..ever since day 1 one of the switch, they both would pick the new food out of the bowl and leave most of the rest behind.  Its been 2 weeks and Im thinking that I may have switched them a little too soon. They both struggle a little bit, but it always comes out. So i put a little of their old food back in the bowl, and they ate everything but the old. Is this small struggle going to eventually pass, or is it something to be concerned about? The poop content in their cage really hasnt changed at all, they poop great, just takes a little effort.

Health / What suppliments do you make/use?
« on: May 24, 2010, 01:08:01 PM »
I just got a chin from a breeder and he gave me some of his " super-secret " suppliment. I can tell it has oat tops, sunflower seeds in the shell, and some out of the shell. There are also little white pieces but I am unable to identify them. Anyways, my chins seems to love it. Anyone will to share some trade secrets????

I think it is called " chinchillaitis "... As many as you know, I have been searching high and low for another chin to save, well no luck as of yet.. Over the past few months I have noticed that my one and only chin, has become lazy, and moping around her cage. I decided it was time for a new friend...I found a local breeder about 20 miles away and I took one of his females from him.. She is a traditional gray, but she is a sapphire carrier. ;) Introducing..........
Alli! she is the chin on the left, Silvia is on the right.


I had great luck introducing these 2 to eachother. It was a breeze.

Board Requests & questions / Need contact to certain breeder
« on: May 20, 2010, 06:40:07 PM »
I need the email address to a certain breeder on this forums breeder finder. If you look in Texas, you will find Riff's chins. I cannot get his email address cuz i use my iphone and it doesnt allow me to use default mail program. so if anyone could take a minuite out of their day and relay either an email or a telephone number, youd be my hero... also, no contact info exists on his/her site. thank you all

General Chat / Weather Related Question
« on: May 18, 2010, 04:23:55 PM »
I'm wondering if anybody has noticed if their chin is weather savvy? I live in OKlahoma and storms come and go almost daily. When it is going to storm, about 12 hours before, she starts being kinda skittichs and not really moving about much. This isn't just a random event either, she has been on the money everytime.

Q & A / have a question
« on: May 01, 2010, 11:51:41 PM »
I know that chins love toilets paper rolls. mine decides it wants to eat it? how safe is that? i have " chinchilla proofed " my bathroom, which is where i let her play. She runs and gets up to where she can reach the toilet paper roll and she wants to eat that too. I have been taking it away from her, but i saw a few posts where people let them play with it.
