  2. Chinchilla Discussion
    Looking through a pet catalog I found some bars for chinchillas, but Im guessing it is a treat item. Should I purchase it as a treat? It's a banana raisin treat and it 2.5 oz. Are these items considered to sweet for chins?
  3. Degu Discussion
    My new Degu as of about a month ago. I happened to stumble upon this website while looking up information on how to handle and train Degu's, among other things. His name is Rambo (at least I'm pretty sure he's a "he"). He was about five months old when I got him, so he's about six months old...
  4. Degu Discussion
    Since the weather has been so lovely here, i've started taking Raisin and Jerry out into the garden in thelr little carry cases, which they seem to really enjoy, particularly Rais. Last week he sat on top of the cage and was very well behaved. i even let him on the ground (for about 3...

  7. Degu Discussion
    Hello everyone, Since I like hearing animal stories, I thought I would start a thread dedicated to telling stories about degus - or just anything about them in general. I love telling anyone I can about the crazy things my Newo and Lemon do, and I'm sure some of you are the same way. If so...
  8. Degu Discussion
    Ok I didn't even know Degus existed before i came to paw-talk. I was curious about and made some research. I still would like to know more from experienced owners How big do they get? the ones on the pics on this forum seems to be small but apparently they get like 12 inch long including the...
  9. Degu Discussion
    I just got home from work about 10 minutes ago and I went in to check on my degus. I noticed one was running around the cage like he was really hyper. I realize now that it's because he seems to be VERY easily spooked (which is not normally the case). He just keeps standing still and almost...

    Does anyone have any suggestions for chew toys? I have just bought wooden type dowls from the pet stores and I have a critter kabob, but it seems like they don't chew on them very often. What else could I try?
  11. Chinchilla Discussion
    I'm worried about my little chinnie Cadbury. His poo is soft and is sticking everywhere! He doen't have any other problems and he's eating/drinking and playing just as much as always. I don't know whats wrong :( I read on a website all of the different causes of this and the person that had the...
  12. Prairie Dog Discussion
    Like I introduced myself, I'm from Finlad and the knowledge about prairie dogs isn't good.. So now I'm interested what are you feeding to your prairie dogs. In here, the recommendation is to give them chinchilla's and guinea pigs dry food with nothing fresh vegetables. I don't agree with that...
  13. Degu Discussion
    Hello all...:wavey: On 12/17 my husband and I took my nine year old out to the pet store to find a Hedgehog. Well once we got to the store my daughter (and us) fell head over heels for the Degu's. I had first thought I'd buy two but the pet store lady told me not to that they wouldn't like...
  14. Degu Discussion
    Hi everyone, this is my first post on here and it's a doozy! Two weeks ago, I got two degus. They were from a family who were concerned about their kids taking improper care of them (why they let the kids have sole care of them is another story). When I got them, they were in a TINY cage...

  18. Degu Discussion
    Hi I hope you all can help - this is the best site I've found about Degus. We got 3 lovely little boys 2 weeks ago, all seem fine and healthy, but one of them (Eenie) is a more portly size than his brothers (Meenie and Minie Mo). He doesn't look unwell, Isn't off his food (obviously), isn't...
  19. Chinchilla Discussion
    I keep hearing of people feeding cereals to their chins for treats. This is very risky let me tell you why. I raised fancy rats and mice for pets for many yrs. In the begining I used oat o"s and a variety of brand name cereals. Most all ceral contains BHA, BHT, and trisodium phosphates...
  20. Chinchilla Discussion
    Have heard some conflicting sides on the issue of flax seeds. I know other nuts are so oily. I never feed sunflowers or any other kind of nut to my chins. But I was wondering about flax seeds. They are such a healthy for humans, but how much oil do they really have? I've seen people say they...
