ya lar jason, that room is make for her chin, maybe plus few boxes of her own thing as well, that's all.... very good move. Happy for you chinchilla shingin.

You will see a difference when you meet they need as what they have in the wild.

J: yeap yeap... what to do, chin's fur is too thick and now they are suffering from the heat (due to the recent hot weather).

Chinchilla: haha, hay definitely will be in there. I still plan to plant something la, eg. mint (for my rabbit), strawberry (for me), chili (for my mum), etc . I will on the room light during day time and off it during night time. Otherwise my chins will alwaz stay in the dark. Let me know if I have done it wrongly ya. May I know whether chins will prefer to stay in dark or light on?

Btw, Aircon man called and said they only free on sunday. My chins still need to wait awhile more lo...

cool,...before i got my first dog, i think of getting chin tat time, but the cost to keep them much more higher thn keeping dog since they need air con. so end up, cant get any til now, manatau....i got my third dog d, i stil cant get a chin.....haha...will pump up my financial for a chin chin soon...kkeke...

You need to off light, complete darkness on the day time, and you need to block your window's light if they are very bright, must be just nice for you to see some 'shape', you not be able to see it very clear everything. Unless you want to do somethign inside, then on for a while la, but need to be dark in the day time, they will know when to wakeup when to sleep with just a little bit of light for them to sensce it. (even don have, they still can sence it!)
Of cause when you spend time with them at night, can on light la, use those balia florencent light will do, dont use energys saving bulb, those is too bright when you on it. If you have a pink white chin, you will see they wont open they eyes when you on the light, all my pink white just always close eyes or half open when i on light, i think is they gen....
Go check around the room that you put your chin weather the sunlight shine on the at the late noon, it will be very warm if come through window, block it, block it completely.

chin~ nvm..haha...wanna top up my knowledge 1st....been reading bout chin since 2 years ago,,,i mean before i got my 1st dog...will do more before i m ready for 1...keke

Chinchillas: icic, it sounds like they will prefer light off. The chin's room got a window but won't have any direct sunlight as the window is facing the corridor (within the house) not facing outside. Check oledi and it should be the most suitable place for my chins. Will go an get a stand lamp later coz that room only has downlight (somemore super bright ler). Yeap yeap, my chins also having the same reaction when I switch on the light during nite time, not moving and eyes cannot open for very long. Only start to move around and open eyes if the food is served or after at least 1/2 hr.


J: Ermm... 3 dogs oso can be quite costly wohhh... chin smaller a lot and eat lesser & shit lesser... be a chin owner la

Downlight will produce heat, make sure the light not shine on the cage. I will see Snow's baby soon, see how WHITE it is.

chin~ can u be my guru ka>??keke...chin chin guru...haha aka bird bird guru...kidding kidding

haha come la, who ever come in here ,we all help each other.

Chinchillas: Went to pet safari last nite and saw the hay that you mentioned. Not bad woh... u will be famous very soon. ^^ But feel super mad after seeing the oxbow chinchilla pellet (10lb). Pet safari selling for RM97 or RM98 but I bought from the "Evil shop" for RM112. Wahhh... very dishonest loh.

Pet safari also offer 5% discount all item for those who have their members cards. And the member card is free if you purchase Rm80 above in single bill.

Woah... So cute the chins~

yaloh, after discount lagi cheap ler... now heart pain liao ><

shingin~ no ned pain.....tell them no more next time!!!

Yaloh... next time should do more survey before buy Alwaz very lazy to do survey and end up heart pain when bought something more ex.

u knw tat chin's coat might not look as good as in air con room, but it stil can keep in non air con room rite???

Ya jason, chin coat have difference grade, difference quality as well. Some chin's coat is poor coat, some is very good quality. Those that is good quality tent to look OK even is in none air condition. However, providing the proper temperature, you made the animal more healthier and let the animal enjoy the proper life style as what they meant to be. Usually chin that in none AC room will need very often dust bath, some even after you dust, next day still look need another dust bath. At this moment, high quality standard grey produce the best fur.

ya..can c that...grey chin 's fur look healthier thn other color...so far...in malaysia

Other colour also got very nice fur, just you dont hv much chance to see in pet shop.

thn i go ur house lo...haha....chin~ might be ur future customer keke...
