Hmm, diarrhea root cause found. nono got intermittance diarrhea is due to the timothy hay i put as a bed and base.

But after changed the bed and base to diff (dry and brown) timothy hay, he no longer diarrhea.

In the other way, the timothy hay i feed nono is diff type which is more green from Kaytee.

Kindly advice whether i still need to change the bed and base to chipsi or order wood type as you suggest or not?

And whether need to change the timothy hay from kaytee or not?

Feeling relief hearing no fungus found on nono. But big worry again with his big wrong bedding.

Hahaha... the learning never stop.

[quote=Carinmanfong,Nov 4 2008, 03:21 PM]thanks for sharing. appreciate that. i will set an appointment with you to visit your little chin.
you may consider to get a ceramic house/ wooden house for your chin. he will feel more secure.
your chin is a mosaic. the pink white is cheaper.

I am getting a wood house for him tonight at rm14. Thanks for the input.

Chin is right. Is that the reason why nono got diarrhea?

Your pic not clear wo, hard to see ler. Danny, u can identify yourself by looking at your chin [botak and flakes (something like dandruff)]... I try to get some pic of chin who got fungus later.

Danny: this are some pics that I got from net and oso rocky's old pictures. I have posted some pictures of my chins and chinchillas is the one who noted my chin got fungus. I have zoom in the said pictures and hope you can identify it yourself. The starting stage of the fungus oso there... no flakes but botak and pinkish.

PS: slightly serious one is taken from the net, not my chin.

Free entrance to all members from this thread.... hihi....

+ a photo of nono on visitor shoulder as souvenior.

10q 10q 10q for the sharing

based on the picture, i guess nono is having a starting stage of fungus which is no flakes but botak a bit and pinkish at nose. Pinkish also observed at the tail but no botak and flakes.


For bed, i am still suffering to get the best for him.

Newspaper place under the tray to use as bedding, is safe, just need to change every day or your desire. Danny's cage should hv tray. But the bottom's holes is too big, watch out that your young chin leg may get caught and injure. Inside the cage also don't have anything for your chin to hide, get something for him to hide, that is rodent's nature, they need to hide to feel secure, no security = full stress.

Didnt see any pellet in the cage as well, pellet need to be in there 24hours, as well as timothy hay.

About the fungus, without a clear shot with flash, is very hard to judge.

Pink White is much more expensive then Mosaic.

My cage base setup

bottom layer is the tray without hole which can pull out.
middle layer is the tray with hole.
top layer is the timothy hay (yellow brown) tat he never eat.

current condition allow pop to pass through the top and middle layer and eventually contain at the bottom layer. Which is very clean.

The top layer will prevent nono leg to get caught at the hole from middle layer.

The only concern is the urine at the timothy hay base, else it would be a perfect litter system.

By the way, i saw one of your photo also using the same cage. Can you share how you setup this cage? 10q 10q 10q

Added on November 5, 2008, 11:02 amYesterday i went to search for a litter system from the pet shop i get nono.

Feel very pity when i saw the chinchilla condition.
The worse is the female mosaic color chin got a bruse at her right eye. (totally block the eye).
The flur condition were bad and were given junk food.

If i got extra blood, sure will bring them back home to take good care of them.

If you wish to get a chin in penang, hope you react soon before things getting worse.

It didnt mention wat type of wood wor.....

Yes, You are right chinchillas, never think of tat b4 bc all i think is to safe them... i should confront them politely to get to vet.

I am thinking of tat b4 but if i put marble replace brown hay, then how to manage the urine r?

i want to put chipsi corn or other wood as bed and absorp urine at the top layer also cannot bc got hole and it will drop to bottom tray. Thats the tricky part.

Need something tat can drop the pop, keep the urine, act as bed, cover middle layer hole, all together ....i think is nearly impossible. hehehe


I got an idea but dunno will it works or not

1. replace brown hay with marble at top layer (still got some gap to allow pop flow to bottom tray)
2. then put a litter tray with chipsi corn or other wood inside. (unless he only urine at this tray)
3. put the cooling pad below the wooden house. ( act both cooling effect and secure with the house)

In this case, i can have a flat base, special urine area, sleep area, cooling effect, security effect, cleaner surface with pop auto drop system.


Sounds good??

How about chipsi green apple softwood?

Bought a cheap house for nono oledi at rm17. Safe to chew for chinchilla write in japanese words.

one thing i observed. A lots of pet shop selling the food and accessory that are not suitable for Chinchilla but was highly recommended by the shop owner. Somemore, the product itself was stated tat it is suitable for chinchilla. this is really confusing.

No wonder the shop owner said tat many chinchilla cannot last long. Its all bc of the wrong food, wrong accessory and wrong info given by them.

Luckily i found this forum, else will be another victim.

Hi Chinchillas,

I saw the superpet hay manger with salt hanger and hay and salad hanger.

Which one is the best for chinchilla?

Now i use a modified hanging tray for hay feeding but the tray area was mess up with the hay. If i use one of the superpet product above, will it solve my problem?

thanks

wau, thanks for the quick reply

since zero mess is imposible, i will continue to clean the drop or unwanted hay frequently to avoid nono pee on eat then accidentaly eat it.

Thanks Chinchillas, now i clear on what is the next shopping list to buy from you. hahaha

My phone camera don have flash.

Plan to get a new camera but no blood to sqeeze liao.

Yeah, just a few minutes of cleaning can make a big diff to both nono and myself.

Added on November 10, 2008, 9:50 amChinchillas is right, i facing the same issue where nono diarrhea and turn me up and down for few days, this is bc i didn do enough home work before getting him.

I had learned the lesson and i am still learning to deserve the best for nono. Just borrow a Chinchilla 101 from a pet shop. Hope i can master it soon and start to helping ppl like Chinchillas. hhahaha (still long way to go.)

Added on November 10, 2008, 10:10 amHi Sakura1612,

nono must be very happy hearing tat again. Too bad you are not from Penang, else can visit nono.

You can click on chinchillas signature link. He got one chin baby now with all the neccessary item included and cost only rm1k. (Special recommended)

BTW, i saw your signature also. Husky is my favourate. My mum kept Jack russel, shih tsu and silky terrier. I cannot keep a dog bc stay in apartment.

One more thing, Chin cannot stand dog bark or attack. If too near or too loud, they will get stress easily and worst come to worst die of stress whithin minutes. read this from book, it is true, Chinchillas?

OMG,

nono really really love the Kaytee Forty Diet Pellet bought from Chinchillas. He willing to do anything to get it.
When i let him out from cage... once called his name.... sure he will fly to me and climb to my body to ask for the pellet. hahahah

Although a bit expensive but is worth it.

As for the cooling pad, surprisingly it can be so cold without being chill 1st. I rearrange his cage again.

I modified the cage to double story and move his room to upper level with the cooling pad as base. Hope he like it.


Thanks chinchillas to bring in all these cool stuff to malaysia market.

Hi Chinchillas,

Based on your comment previously, we need to provide them pellet 24 hrs a day. I just give ~ 2 tea spoon yesterday bc scare he will overloaded himself. May be i will start with 2 tea spoon and slowly increase, or directly provide 24 hrs to him?


Another Q, my fren from pet shop recommend me to use recycle paper tube (like pellet but bigger size a bit). Said the absorber is good and is OK for chin to eat it. It is true?

Now i use chipsi green apple as litter, i saw nono eating it also. (it is safe)??

Added on November 24, 2008, 10:19 amChinchillas & Shingin,

May i know the fungus powder name? How much to add into the dust bath?

This post has been edited by Dannyoski: Nov 24 2008, 10:19 AM

10q 10q 10q....

i would say is nono photogenic la .....

Hi Chinchillas and Shingin,


Thanks for the advice. I went to farmasi last night and obtained the anti-fungus and ring worm powder. Mix a tea spoon with the dust bath and look forward for nono recovery.

The powder is white in color and cost me rm10.

i wish to get one "Real Camera" soon to take nono picture.

Hi Shingin,

my anti fungus brand also "candid"

Hi Carin,

Sure, more pic to come but still no flash

Hi Chinchillas,

I am really tempted with the ceramic house la.....

BTW, any toy recommendation r?

Yeah !!! good to hear that the members is expanding !!!

Chinchillas,

The only way to keep nono stay still at my hand, arm, shoulder is to give him treats. But once treat finish, he will start to move. I know thats the normal behaviour for them. But do you have other way or method or training that can make them stay with you longer?

So far i only manage to call his name and he come to me, climb up to my body but not for long.

Merry Merry Christmas !!!
