Okay, Marie talked me into it :lol: I'm getting a hedgie from her and so is Corine! Neither of us have ever had a hedgie before and we are both really excited. What we need to know is some basic ins and outs of hedgie ownership. What kind of cages do you all use or have made (including pics)...

Since I am a newbie to chins (getting my first in May! :spot: ), I figured I would ask you all here what size cage to get, in order to make sure. I am looking into one of the SuperPet designs (or something similar), and I just wanted to ask what dimensions are suitable for a single chin? AND...

Where do you spend a lot of time? Apart from the usual, where do you guys spend a lot of time? Post piccies please.. I spend a lot of time behind the wheel of my car, or at my desk on the computer, chatting on here..

I went to go view some places this morning and I'm really excited! They are very nice (for their age) and affordable! First I looked at a 2 bedroom set up. You walk in and the kitchen is to your left, half bath on your right next to large closet for coats, excetra. Just infromt of that (still on...

First is Saber...up to 128gms tonight :) She'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. (excuse their coloring in some of the pics...dusting night ;)

Well, my baby has gone to her new home...She has been purchased by Sharon, a woman who is just getting started in chinchilla breeding and is really doing her research. Sharon is a wonderful lady and Morgan (name changed to "Mandy") should have a wonderful life there. Good thing is, she's less...

So, everyone here knows about my quest to get another chinchilla. I'd much rather adopt than purchase one, so I've been on Petfinder everyday seeing if a chin in Waukesha is still up for adoption. We actually went to see him and his name is "Nibbles," and he's a beige. He's also a fur chewer...

I know that many of us have rooms designated for our animals and I wanted to see where everyone's fur babies live! I thought of this after Denise was asking where everyone kept their pets but didn't get a chance to do it. Anyway here is our room. It's really bland and boring but when we are in...

Alright, this has gone on long enough. Emma has soft poos AGAIN! It seems like every few weeks she gets soft, sticky poos! I give her shredded wheat and it clears up for a few weeks but next thing I know, it's back! I think Emma will be going into work with me tomorrow...I'll have Dr. Lehr...

I walked into the chin room today to see Diablo looking ADORABLE in his new hammock so I thought I'd take a couple of pics. Here he is when I first walked into the room and before I woke him up. He's on his side and is all kicked out and comfy: And the next one is just him trying to go back...

:) Just a quick hello!

I would love to get either a bunny or ratties but I am freak when it comes to keeping my pets in the dining room or living room. I prefer they have their own room. For those of you with multiple pets (excluding cats and dogs because they get free reign of the house) where do you keep your pets?

You'll have to excuse the fur on some of them...dustings are needed in some cases, other cases are due to just being REALLY busy as of late! These are our currently active pairings: Kir and Jetta: Ty and Skye: Sage and Jax: Jax and Sam (in a few weeks they will go back together)...

Tough call, I think they're even. :rofl:

Well, I've had chinchillas since March now. This morning I had my first ever runaway chin. The first chin to get loose in my non-chin proof living room was none other than--you guessed it--Diablo! I was holding the little guy in the kitchen where he's still in quarentine and he jumped out of my...

How much do you value material possessions? Above all, I place my health and the health of loved ones above all else. I always say if you don't have your health, you don't have anything. I feel like I do value material things too much though. I love to spend money and enjoy having a nice...

So, we had the inspection yesterday at noon with the homeowner. Shane had taken Orion to the tattoo shop as we didn't know what he was going to look like and since Orion's eyesight isn't exactly 100%, he seems to dislike really dark skinned people (we think it's because he can't make out the...

Hello, I just bought three chinns from a breeder and when i got home i realized that the hay and the chew sticks that she had given me had mold on them. One of the little girls is having soft stool (but might be that I gave her a raisin). I have already given her some shredded wheat(sugested...

I just got to see a Chinchilla up close and in-person! Sorry, I'm making a big fuss over it, but I've never seen one before, other than in pix. I went to PetsMart, and to my surprise, they had 2 Chins for sale. They were just beautiful! I originally went there to buy Rusty some bloodworms...

:rolleyes: I suppose it's better than eating pesticide laden grass outside, but sheesh! He KNOWS he isn't allowed to go in the chin room so it was a real feat to catch him sitting still long enough to get this picture. :lol:
