Hello! I’m looking to rehome my one year old black velvet male chinchilla. Looking to sell him, all supplies, toys, and cage for around $250 OBO. I found out I’m really allergic to Timothy hay and that is why I am looking for a new forever home for him.AF5D9FD4-3189-4962-ADF2-0A3321BEC715.jpeg

Wood ladders

Hi I am adding a third level to my chins cage and wanted to make the top primarily ledges and hanging house and cuddle tubes and hammocks and just fill it with items like that. I went online to gather design ideas and saw a lot of long wooden ladders that go from one side of the cage to the other. I looked around on amazon and etsy for ladders like that and didn't find too much luck. For anyone with a ladder like this, where can i get one?


Chin behaviour changes with age?

Hello everybody!

I wanted to ask those who have experience with more senior chins.

My Kumo is at least ~12 yo (I've had him for almost 10 years, rescue thought he was about 2). Over the last 2 years I've noticed he naps a lot more through the day, in particular over the last couple of months. He's still curious, very treat-oriented, he still will jump on me and be really into playing sometimes, but often he just wants to nap.

He was such an active boy as a young chin that this is a huge...

Main pellets ran out

Hiya so my chins usually have supreme science selective and it was running out so I ordered more but it won't be here till Monday and their food already ran out.

I was integrating beapher care plus but it's currently fed at the ratio of like 4 science to 1 beapher

I ran around stores but everywhere was sold out. All I could get were pets at home pellets which they've never had

So, my question (finally) should I just feed beapher for today and tomorrow or should I feed pets at home too...

Eye Infection

My male chin who is less then a year old has an eye infection. He has had problems with this eye (clear discharge) for a week now, which I have been treating with eye drops. It seems to clear up for awhile, but then today he is holding his eye closed. Although he has opened it now and he is acting normal, I tried to get him into the vet. Most of them were booked for weeks and my emergency vet does not have an exotic on duty today. The best I could do was get him an appointment at a vet I...

Chinchilla seems like she only wants to leave her cage

Ive had my girl for about a week now and she ran out of her cage while i was cleaning it and started exploring my room for an hour before i was able to get her back in the cage. Now, being the day after, she chews at spots on the cage and lifts up the bedding like she’s searching for an escape. Also making it difficult to clean the cage as she runs right up to the door every time i open it. Shes very new so she doesn’t respond to her name or trust me very much, thats why it took me over an...

{Posted for Peg}

Thus far, things have been progressing nicely here on CnH, and we're all very pleased to see such a great turn out (I was very grateful to get off that 666!). But, we have run into a bit of a snag with our chat program. Apparently it is draining the resources of our chat server. Because of this, at times it is limited, and at other times it just shuts down for no reason. We have made some decisions regarding changing our chat program.

With this in mind, we have searched...

Chinchilla running in circles?

Hello all,
so first off I plan on making an appointment with the vet first thing in the morning, but until then I'm hoping someone might have an idea of what I'm dealing with. So my chinchilla Jinx is running in circles, but like really wide circles. He's just kind of jumping around his entire cage but in the same circular pattern over and over again. He doesn't do it when I'm letting him out or giving him attention. I thought he might just be bored, but I let him out for longer than normal...

diarrhea (medication side effect)

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well! Just a quick question, what is the best way to deal with loose, wet stools? I'm 90% sure it's just a side effect from his new meds and will confirm this with the vet later today. Just curious about what I should be doing in the meantime to make Pluto more comfortable.. I already took his pellets out and gave extra hay but not sure if there's something else I can be doing! Thanks!!

Chin Dust Causing Eye Issues?

My usual chin dust I use was out of stock, but there was a bagged version by the same company (All Living Things) that I bought instead. I noticed right away that the coloring was way lighter then the stuff I had been using. It also seems a lot finer and doesn't lay on the furniture like the other dust. But ever since I started using it, my chin has been having gooey discharge from the corners of his eyes. At first I didn't know what was causing it, but I put eye drops in and he was better...

Exterminator and chinchillas?

I had an exterminator come out to treat the house for bugs. He did not treat my bedroom, since that is where my chins live and I was nervous about him doing it there. However he did treat the room where they have playtime. Does anyone know how long I should wait until they can have playtime in that room again? Should I wipe down the baseboards or anything?

Experience with seizure medication?

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe! Pluto has recently been having seizures and has been to the vet twice in the last 2 weeks. First visit 2 weeks ago we decided to just do antibiotics to see if it was some sort of infection. He just went back to the vet yesterday and they now want to start him on keppra which, according to the vet, has quite a few side effects. Does anyone else have experience with their chin having seizures and being prescribed keppra? Did they do well on...

Kit anal protusion

We have a two week old kit. All four have been thriving. Tonight at weigh in and petting time we saw the largest, a male, has some kind of slightly bloody (fleshy?) protusion from the anus. What on earth could be going on? His behavior is normal. A vet is in our future but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience.

His daddy just got neutered and that didn't go as well as our previous neuter did. (He's okay it was just a rougher procedure.. The other vet used dissolvable sutures...

Chin's Stomach Gurgles On Occasion

I have a male chin less then a year old whose tummy makes a loud gurgling sound every so often. It doesn't happen a lot, but I can certainly hear it when it happens and I'm close by. He's eating, drinking, and behaving normally. His feces look like how they always look. I know the gurgling can be a sign of bloat, but he seems totally fine. Could this just be a quirk of his?

Chin proof playpen?

Hi!
I just moved into a new apartment and my landlord heavily stressed that any damage to the house by my chin would be charged to me. He was apprehensive about allowing me to have the chin at all so I take things very seriously and try to be careful.
For playtime I am looking for a playpen because my chin is a wall chewing fiend. Does anyone know of any good options that are tall and sturdy enough?


Bonding and age difference?

I recently got a 5 month old chin, Gusgus! (named after the fat Cinderella mouse)

Should I wait until he's a bit older before trying to bond him with my 4-5 year old chin? Once I put Gusgus into his cage across the room from Mr. B's cage, Mr. B got pretty antsy and I'm worried things would be unequal between them. Gusgus is still young and can hardly jump onto any platforms or chew sticks as efficiently as Mr. B can. I'm a bit worried Mr. B might bully him?

What is she doing?

I come in the room. There is a click and then what sounds like a snore. She continues to do this. I have a video but I don’t know how to post it. She also moves her neck really weird which I am most concerned about. I have a video but don’t know how to post it. How do I post it? I am very concerned.

How Old Before An Outside the Cage Excursion?

I have a chin that is going to turn 1 years old in November. I have been advised in the past that he is a bit too young for a lot of playtime outside the cage, but I really would like to coax him out a little bit just to get his feet wet (so to speak). Is he old enough to be outside the cage? I don't want him getting bored.


Likely teeth problems with chin

Hi all, we think our chinchilla has teeth problems. She's picking up pellets, gnawing on them a little bit and throwing them aside. She's lost a lot of weight.

We didn't realize what was happening because she's also been throwing her food out of her bowl, because she's like that. She's still pooping and drinking water.

Right at this second she's still bright eyed, alert, grooming,bathing, bouncing and chewing toys. We picked up some critical care from the pet store and we're going to...

Sick chinchilla

Hi everyone,
My chinchilla Marlo has been having some issues eating. Last Thursday she went 14 hours without eating but finally gave in after approaching her food dish 3 times and ate around 8:30pm. The next morning I weighed her and she had maintained her weight but then went another 14 hours that day without eating. This time around 8:30 she picked up two pellets and ate them then went back to bed. I put some of her pellets in the blender and offered them to her and she ate a ton. She was...

Male and female chins have been kept together

Hi,
A friend of mine had two chinchillas but had to give them away because she couldn't afford them anymore. I took them to make sure they went to a good home because no one else was interested.

My friend was keeping a male and female chin together for about a year, or so I was told. I have them both together, but I'm not ready for Chinchilla babies!!!

Can I separate them without a problem? Will they have bonded, and struggle being apart? Will one or both of them need a companion when I...

International Shipper?

Hi, all!

I need to ship my Asa from Germany to the States in early December. United doesn't take animals now because of the pandemic. Lufthansa only takes dogs, cats, and rabbits. So, I need to find a pet shipper. Has anyone had experience with an international pet shipper that they can recommend?

Thanks in advance!
