Thank you so much for your advise... I will stop feeding alfafa for awhile.

May be this is the 1st time happen to my chin, so I feel a bit nervous. I was so scared + worried and keep on catch him out and check from the top to the bottom (may be I am too rough and I got bitten and bleed), I think that might be another reason why he has reduce his appetite (not happy with me). I will try not to hold him for awhile and hopefully everything will be back to normal. Thanks a lot, I will follow your advise...

Normally my chin dun bite me and let me hold him. Only today I was too panic and kept on taking him out and checking his body. Too many shits sticked on his fur due to the diarrhea and I kept on helping him pull out the shit and his fur oso together pulleed out. I know it hurts but I really can't think of any other way. I think my chin oso cannot tahan then bite me loh.

Just now I used different way already. Used wet cloth to remove the shit and oso clean the legs, then put him in the sand bath. At least he looked happier and didn't bite me already. Wow, this afternoon if I didn't scream, I think my chin will continue biting and won't let go.

At least I learnt my lesson... should think b4 do.

oppsss... not sand bath, is dust bath.


Although my chin still having diarrhea, but his appetite is getting better than earlier. I fed him timothy and he has eaten it (Thank god).

I have read though some websites saying that if chin's fur is wet or damp, it may cause fungus. That's why I bathe them with dust bath after using wet cloth. Better safe than sorry, I will not use anything wet items to clean my chin anymore.

My chin is only 5 months old, not yet adult right? ermmm... I oso not so sure, however, I will find my way to measure his weight. Need to get a digital weighing scale 1st...

Heng, is ur chin active when he/she having diarrhea? my chin seems like ok... I would say normal and appetite oso ok... but diarrhea still quite bad. Now I have to everyday clean the tile for him.

haha, really? my another chin dun sleep like that. Btw, your chin is a male or female? the one that I posted is a male.

not marble... is tiles, for cooling purposes. They like to stand or sleep on it...

oh really? I will go find one then... will get some for my rabbits too =)


ooohhh, I think only the male will do that.
I will go find the marble soon... as for the weather is getting worse and worse, I better do something for my pets.


haha... thank you, I will tell Rocky (my chin) later.

Digital weighing scale is quite expensive though. At the moment I thought of replacing the hay house to pine wood house, which I have ordered from Chinchilla. Eventually I will still get one [ so I got excuse to learn how to bake cakes =) ]

Rocky is recovering now, less moist poo poo and more dry poo poo as I have observed. I have completely stop feeding alfafa. Only giving small amount of pellets and a lot of timothy. I a bit surprise that he choose to eat the hay then only the pellets. A bit weird though... suddenly change appetite. But the amount he can eat is back to normal, in fact I think the in take of hay has increase from previous.

Ermm, I am just guessing... is there any possibility that your chin got poisoned or may be accidentally ate some plastic items? I hope you can find out the cause of your chin's death and cont. keep chin when you are ready.



Thanks a lot to chinchilla and stardust as your advise works and my chin is recovering now.

wow... cool!!! you are having new chin. Bought it from chinchilla?

ohhh... stardust, are you getting marry? Congratulation!!! (if you are)

Wow... Happy to hear that =)

CONGRATULATION AGAIN!!!!!

I will be going outstation in December for a week. But I am starting to worry where to put my chins. Anyone got experience putting their chin at the pet hotel? I found a few on the net but they only good in handling cats and dogs. My mum did offer to put in her house, but her house is a bit warm and I worry the chins will bully my mum as well (my chin like to jump out from the cage). She is already 60++ and I dowan her to chase the chin.

** Chinchilla, I hope you can consider to open a chinchilla hotel, I am sure a lot of ppl will give you business =)

Stardust... I really feel very upset for your lost, I am sure your wife is very upset too, send my regards for her ya. May Chocalten rest in peace.

Finally I have bought the digital weighing scale =)

Female chin (approx. 5 months old) = 0.367kg
Male chin (approx. 5 months old oso) = 0.384kg

Chinchilla, is my chin under weight? I didn't control the pellets intake oledi and it appears that they have grown quickly. I wish my chin can grow as big as yours... but at the moment I can only dream.

Bought it from Mid valley Jusco, the brand is "Camry" and cost me RM90.

at the kitchen section, look for the "baking" section. My weighing scale max upto 5kg, 1g graduation. I tested at jusco and it is very accurate and finally I have decided to get it. Flat top but it is not wide enuf for rabbit woh. May b u can put a card board on top b4 u use it. Go check it out, but cannot test coz all are wrapped nicely.

Added on August 20, 2008, 11:27 pmI have been to petaling street pet shop long time back (more than 5 years), if I have not mistaken there are 2 pet shops there... quite bad though (very pack and hot). I'm quite worry about the chin if it is still in the shop.
