Hey! go there and GET SOME PHOTOS!!!!! I hope I not seeing chin in bad shape, i will get upset

Pet safari never feed chin with chin pellet(BUT Pet Wonderland does), feed them all with local make rabbit pellet and NO HAY!

will try, a lot of places don't allow pics to be taken

yea, that's the worst part about petshops, the poor conditions the pets are in. i always see too-young rabbits at pet safari, they look barely 4 weeks and definitely not old enough to be weaned. and the food, sigh.. low quality stuff. worst still, sometimes i don't even see any water in their cage! i have to tell the staff to put in water for the rabbits!! really sad..

Yalor, I can honestly say, within my fingers I can count how many pet shop does give a MINIMUN care for the pets out of hundreds around Malaysia. We can't expect them to care and feed like us, but at least basic care, need, cleaness must be there.

i guess they don't really understand the pets which they have, their needs etc. most of the rabbit food they carry are really low quality..can faint when i look at the nutritional contents. complete opposite of what a rabbit should have. i don't know whether its as bad for cats & dogs, maybe not cos there's more demand for cat & dog food..

even for chins, i don't see the good feed brands here..

YUp at Pet safari Ikano damansara utama..

will wait for 11jan see weather he manage to get some photos or not.

i went to pet safari, ikano...walked all over the place twice, checked and double checked.. but didn't see any chins! which part did you see the chins in, shahril? so disappointed.. was really looking forward to seeing them

btw, 11jan = she

Hahaha, my mistake.

Maybe the chin already go to Penang.

to Penang?! darn!! why is it so hard for me to get a chin

U not find it..
they put the chin at small animal corner, and at first I also not notice any chins there until there's customer saw them in cage at counter floor... actually behind the counter. I saw about 6 chins there, 2 chins already reserved. If u go visit there again, check behind the rabbit glass, maybe u will see it.

ok thanks sharil!

Chinchillas, what kind of cage do you use for your chins? do you have pics to share? There are quite a few nice tall cages at the petshops, but the cage bar gaps are too big, around 1inch x 3 to 4 inches.. i haven't found any cage with 1inch x 1inch gaps, or smaller.

Safari and pet wonderland have plenty of good cage to sell. You can go for min 2' in width x 2' in high. Chinchilla like to jump, so buy cage that abit tall, but not too tall that they fall and die accidently. About the gap, as long as your chin is not a baby chin, 1inc x 1 inc will do will.

In case you seriously want to go for a chin, here is some simple guideline to purchase some item.
Cage : don't use dog cage, don't use cage that is wire bottom(need to be solid/flat ground), don't use cage is smaller then 2' in width x 2' in high.

Feeder n water bottle : use ceramic heavy clay bowl, use DOG type water bottle(those can fit in any mineral bottle as bottle), not rabbit or hamster type water bottle.

Bedding : Kaytee Aspen is good, Chipssi or other bedding that does not release aromatic oil.

If you really get a chin, I have 1 more new chin friend
