would these items be safe

found these PetSmart brand full cheeks ( used to be tiny tales) toys for small animals as well as all living things brand they are really cute and well priced however while they look safe to me I would like some other opinions. I have bought some full cheeks toys before along with a bed (which I will share a picture of below) but they were just sticks and a willow ball.

here are the links to the items on Petsmart...

The Chinstrument Project

As (probably) none of you know, I am learning the guitar. As more of you know, I have a chinchilla named Pedro. And he gave me a genius idea.

I was practicing some chords, when Pedro went insane. He started jumping around, with (as far as I know) no intention or goal. As I'm typing this, he is sitting on a ledge centered on the front of his cage, close to the top. His observation deck, if you will. I'll play a G and type below what happens.

He flinches once. I play it again, he jumps down...

How to bond with a rescued Chinchilla

I have recently gotten 3 new chinchillas (I now have 4) which I have had for about a month. the male Nimbus loves attention and being petted but not being picked up he also gets spooked very easily. the 2 girls (Cloud and Beatrice) won't let me touch them at all they slap my hand away and run. Cloud however is very curious and will come up to me and put her front paws up on my hand and check things out. The girls don't enjoy out of their cage playtime as they are too afraid they instead get...

New Chin Owner and Playtime

Hi everyone. I recently got my Chinchilla last week...I read about how they need an hour or so of playtime a day but somehow missed the memo about bonding w them in cage first. He’s sweet so far will come out, sniff, allow for a little petting before going back under my dresser! But it’s a serious process trying to get him back into his cage. I actually found this page when googling “why can’t I get my chinchilla back in his cage?” Now that I know he’s not ready to be let out and I...

He's kinda snappy?

So ive had Viktor and Jayce for a couple of months now and Jayce i can pet and pick up at this point, which is pretty great progress! He doesn't particularly enjoy it but he tolerates it enough.

Viktor however really doesnt like being touched and will just run off accordingly. I dont try to push him so i just hold my hand out to him to let him sniff me and sometimes he puts his paw on my hand too but nowhere near as comfortable as Jayce is.
And that's all fine while hes in the cage and i am...

Chinchilla noises randomly

I’m not exactly sure why, but sometimes at random moments my chinchilla makes sounds whenever no one’s present or in a different room. Is it because she’s bored or something? She does have another friend to hang out so I’m not sure why she does that. I know it’s not threatening and she perfectly fine when I check up on her. I really appreciate it if anyone could help me out on what it could mean.

Water bowl vs water bottle

I researched that some people use a water bowl rather than a water bottle since it's "more natural" but I also researched that most people prefer a water bottle. I know chinchilla's can't get wet but why is that? Will they (much like rabbits (I know rabbits are lagomorphs and a chinchilla is a rodent just wondering if it's the same kind of situation)) be stressed out from getting wet and possibly go in to shock and/or get hypothermic and die? Which is correct to use, a bowl or bottle? Will...

Single female mosaic chin

Hi all,

I really hate to be making this post right now, but I need to rehome my 14 year old female mosaic chinchilla. She's been living at my parents house for a while due to my husband's allergies. I recently started a new job and I haven't been able to get to their house to care for her and give her attention nearly as much as I would like to. I hate that she is just sitting in her cage by herself all the time and I decided it's just not fair to her. She is super sweet and loves her chin...

Single female mosaic chin

Hello all

Hello! I've been coming to this forum a lot lately but I don't own a chinchilla nor a hedgehogso I don't know why I registered. I do want a chinchilla in the distant future and my older sister wants a hedgehog in the future but for now I'm content on doing research on chinchilla's and hedgehogs. I have a Lhasa apso named Demon who's 14 years old (he's going to be 15 in November, the 23rd I believe) and two rabbits (Blossom and Thumper) who just turned 4 years old (I don't know their exact...

Resources on how/why ciprofloxacin is used in chinchillas?

Hello, everybody!

I'm currently doing an assignment where I'm given a drug, disease, and species of an animal and I have to create a discharge appointment PowerPoint for them. I chose chinchillas, since I personally have two (Bugs and Casper); but MAYBE it was a poor decision, because I'm struggling a bit to find sources on how ciprofloxacin works in chinchillas, the side effects, etc. Or any small rodent, really. Does anybody know of resources I could use to read up on chinchillas (or...

Chinchilla Poo Cleaning

Since chinchilla poo is so dry, do I need to use wipes/spray to clean up after it? Or should i just use a napkin to pick it up and be done with it? Because i found a couple poos on my bed and I don't know if i should wash all my sheets

Ferret Nation Cage 182 One Stop Shop?

Anyone know of a one-stop shop type of place to order removable fleece liner/cage set for the Ferret Nation 182 Cage? I'd love to order a set of fleece liners and wooden ledges designed specifically for this cage. Anyone have a good resource or recommendations on easy to remove/wash liners for this cage specifically?

Chin vet?

Anyone know of/recommend a decent vet who does chins, south east England near London? The vet that I have previously used has moved to a different branch and there has been no replacement.
Thanks x

Wiping Mouth

My chinchilla has been wiping her mouth a lot recently. Whenever she eats, after every bite, she wipes her mouth. She will still eat fine, doesn't act like she's in pain, but it is unusual. She's become a bit of a messy eater. I have had her for about a year and 10 months, she is a bit old, (11 years), and her sister (I believe, she was a rescue) died due to some teeth issues. She did not have the same problem, but I am a bit concerned. Any advice, is this normal?
