Is this serious?

Hi All,

We noted a small but weird lump on Chino's belly. He had not objected when I lightly touched it so I guess it doesn't hurt (much?). No noticeable deterioration in his mood / behavior / eating / weight. Lately his brother is chasing him all over the cage (two story critter nation with lots of shelves, two houses and a wheel)., but it does not look like a chinchilla bite... more like an insect bite. But they live at home, no other pets. I am attaching a picture and a zoom-in. Chino is...

New chubby chonker unit: Gus Gus

Thought I'd pose some photos of my new chubby chonker chin, Gus gus! Named after the lil fat brown mouse in Cinderella.

He's about 6 months old now. Loves the little wheatie things in the timothy hay and apple sticks! He likes doing parkour wall jumps in his cage, and going bonkers whenever a car/noise outside startles him. When I pet him he likes to groom and nibble on my hand, but doesn't liked being petted on his head. Chin and chest scritchies are ok-ish, he really just prefers...

Oxbow critical care - Apple Banana?

Hello everybody!

I was wondering if anybody knew why it's impossible to find Oxbow's Apple Banana-flavored critical care?

I'm lucky that Kumo will eat Anise flavored (although not as eagerly) but he likes the Apple-Banana so much and he's been bouncing back so well from how weak and lethargic he was that I hate switching it up on him.

If anybody knows where to find some Apple-Banana, I'd be so grateful if you point me that way!

My chin is making small noises from his nose I think

It started a few weeks ago and I thought nothing of it. He is still drinking and eating normally, normal poops. I did have to separate him form his mate since she was eating all the food. He seems lighter and a little skinnier since then and not as active. He makes strange sounds that sound like it comes form his nose. Like its stuffed, almost like a small squeak from his nose. He's active when I take him out for play time but in his cage he might run for a bit and then just stay in his...

Chinchilla eye

Can someone know what this might be?

My little chinchilla had closed eyes a few days after birth. We took it to vet and they told us to clean her eyes and drop few drops of tobrex eye drops. Few days later she open her eyes but then she could not close one eye. We found another vet and he gave us some eye serum and said to give chinchilla few drops every two hours.
After a few days eye looks like that.

Triple Ferret Nation Cages

I have each of my chinchillas in a double ferret nation and I’m considering adding a 3rd unit.

Is 3 floors too many for chins?
If I did give each chin a 3rd unit how shall I go about spreading their water bottles and food out.
example:
Unit 1: oxbow pellets
Middle unit: water bottle
Top unit: hay feeder

?

Just need tips maybe pros and cons of having a Triple stacked ferret nation.
