Calcium Surplus Question - Help

Hi everyone,

Just recently I had one of my babies (2 y/o, male) put to sleep due to a bladder stone that became stuck in his urethra - he went downhill very quickly over the course of 3 days and there was nothing that could be done.

Over the last few months I had noticed a chalky residue in his dried pee that I found out was calcium excess when I researched it.

When I first noticed this I spoke to my exotic vet for her advice and she suggested cutting down the calcium in his diet - I...

Detergent For Chin Fleece

I have a bit of a problem right now. My chin has a weepy eye and gets drops as needed (he was at the vet last week and his mouth is fine). He obviously hates the drops, so after he gets them, he will rub his face on the fleece I have for him.

I can't help but wonder if the detergent I'm using to clean the fleece is aggravateing his allergies. Which detergents do you guys think is safest for chinnies?

Automatic water system for chins?

I was wondering what type of system people with lots of chins use? I want to stop having to clean so many bottles lol. Specifically what type of fount, like diaphragm or spring, and 3/16" or 5/16" water tubing?

In search of water bottle with graduating lines

I am looking for a water bottle like this, but is for small animals. This one is for dogs. This one is also pretty expensive ($25) I need to monitor my chinchilla's fluid intake following an intestinal illness. I think I can adapt this one, but I'm hoping to find one that isn't quite so expensive. I've tried searching online, but this one, on Amazon, is the only one I can find.

How to get pee out of carpet?

Rehoming two beige brothers...

I have two male beige brothers that I am looking to re-home. They were rescued by my children's school class after they were found in a storage shed by a friend. The classroom hasn't been the best environment for them and they have been with me for most of COVID and the summer. The teacher just confirmed that they are not interested in having them back in the classroom. I have four children and three dogs and while their basic needs are met, they are not getting enough attention. I am...

My chins are not eating the timothy hay

I usually purchase Kleenmama's third cut but last years batch was poor quality so I thought I would try Rabbit Supply but my chins will only nibble so I tried American Pet Diner which the quality has been going downhill for sometime and the batch smelled old and musty. I also tried Small Pet Select which they did eat but the new box was too dry, brown and they wouldn't touch it. I want to go to a local farm for timothy but it is eastern timothy and I do not know if my chins will eat this...

Fungus?

So, I’m a first time chinchilla owner, although I do have past experience with rats. I’ve only had my boy Shaxx for about 3 weeks, and so far, he has seemed extremely healthy. I give him dust baths 2-3 times per week. I change his bedding every day. Sadly, he hasn’t allowed me to really handle him yet, although he does allow me to give him head, chin, and chest scratches. We’ve spent a lot of time working on trust so I can take him out of his cage without him having an absolute temper...

do chinchillas have the same eye size?

I notice that the grey one's eyes look much larger in comparison to the eyes of the black one

Is it because more dense fur and darker color covers the area around the eye or is there really a small difference in the front eye size?
