I see. Pet chin mean that chinchilla is under a Pet quality in over all appearance.

Wah.. then you must be very happy got this pair of chins. Show us their mansion.

What's the other kinda quality caLLed then?
Oh.. so she's beige in coLouR... i pRefer the daRker ones though O_o..Like uR gRey 1...

weLL.. theiR wheeL just bRoke down Last week -___-!!!
WheRe can i get a betteR wheeL suited for ChinchiLLas...
I saw one at Pet LoveR's CentRe caLLed the siLent wheeL (RM8x ++)
It's made of PLastic so I'm kinda woRRied it won't Last Long..

Other kind of quality called chinchilla as well, their grade is difference and fall under name as "Quality" chinchilla.

If you can as big as possible the wheel, the better. However you need to monitor are they over heat by running on the wheel. Plastic wheel have difference quality as well, you can look for the good quality wheel. Silent wheel is too small. You can look for their sanko wild wheel, is selling they as well. RM1XX.

OH O_o ok thanks... i'LL go LOok for a new wheeL...

I have a Marchioro Cage simiLar to the one in uR siggy...
wiLL that one be chewed up by ChinchiLLa eventuaLLy?
I aLways have this feaR that my chinchiLLa wiLL escape and neveR come back!

The feMaLe one is kinda thin... dunno y >_<~... she can SLip thRough any tiny gaps & aLways runs off...
The maLe one is biggeR & veRY fRiendLy towaRd human beings... he won't run off...

ALso.. because the previous owneR didn't put them in an aiRcon roOm... if u check the pic caRefuLLy..the fuR on the side of the femaLe's body seem to have dRopped & neveR grew back... -___-"""
onLy the maLe is Round & FLuffy now...

Any advise? I wish she wouLd gain moRe weight + gRow heR fuR back..

Marchioro is a good cage, can last you for many years. Chinchilla chew on everything, anything chewable, they will chew it.

What you need to do now is , give them dust bath, slowly it will improve. And do you know how old is your chins? if your chin does not take care well at the growing stage, no matter how you feed them they wont grow bigger. The most important thing is their are healthy, eating, jumping and active. Your must generously give hay, lots of timothy hay + a little bit alfalfa hay. With the well care and right diet, your will see a big improvement on your chin's over all appearance, that need time.

Male chin is usually very tame, but it depends, each chin is difference, most chin dont like you to hold them, they are more like a 'watch pet'.

unfoRtunateLy.. i dunno theiR age... i dunno know the previous owneR peRsonaLLy...

As foR theiR diet.. I've read some of the eaRLieR posts heRe..& I guess i've been giving them the Right type of hay and peLLets... no idea y the femaLe didn't reaLLy grow..

the pRevious owneR must have hanDLed the maLe one aLot... when i open his cage.. he wiLL jump into my aRms.. =D! does I have to bond with my chinchiLLa often oR wiLL they be fine pLaying on theiR own?

and ORh.. i wanna ask about.. raisins.. I know we can't feed them treats too often.. but I do wanna know what type of raisins to give them? Most of those i see in the supeRmaRket has preservatives.. is that bad?

Wha ha ha ha!! i just came back from Beijing yesterday and i bought a female baby chinchilla today at Mid Valley;s pet wonderland , she is so cute , said import from Netherland. her ears seems smaller and has shorter tail.
she is only two months old.

i get a new cage to separate them for the first few month. i wonder when will she reach sexual maturity ?

Raisin, to me, i dont feed. If you want to give, once a week, 1. Or once a month, 1 also. Look for those is organic.

Why not get a flat base cage, the wire base is not good for the feet. You can put thick paper now.

Oh yea i saw some ChinchiLLas theRe today too... i just got back fRom Mid VaLLey few hours ago! LOLs~

ya, ive never seen any Chinchilla in pet's wonderland before, they only have 2 chin this afternoon, i booked one and i went for a movie, after that when i come back, they got another two female.

i'm planning to get them a big cooling pad to cover their base later, but i wonder when can i put them to gather? my 1st Chinchilla seems so interested at the new Chin.. hmmm

For the rules of the forum, we should not discuss about breeding, and when to put them together? When you are prepare and study most of the knowledge of chinchilla and breeding of chinchilla, then you know weather you can put them together. I will not encourage 'putting' pet store chin in the 'same' cage unless their same sex.

I saw 3 there now. Very cute. Love those chinchilla face

BTW.. any reputabLe or Recommended vets foR chinchiLLas...?
i usuaLLy go to Dr Yeoh @ Tmn Megah...

So far i have not meet any vet that have much experience on treating chinchilla, however if their is no choise, you can visit dr. siva in animal medical centre.

Hmmm how come my New Female Chinchilla has smaller ear and shorter tail? is it because of her age? she is only 2 months old now.

That is her 'breed'. Your chinchilla is not 2 months old. At least 3-4 months old. If it is PW ppl tell you, they must be giving the wrong info. What ever imported chinchilla as it claim, it need at least 3-4 months old enable to be flight over. And usually is 6 months old.
