Do show us your chin picture Niie Yang, I really have to made an efford taking some picture.

My baby boy; Bui Bui


My baby girl; Na Na

wah... some more got cloth for your chin buibui. I will suggest not to let your chinchilla wearing anything, they fur is good enough to warm them, putting more cloth on your chin is putting more risk to make your chin die in heat stroke. Do you know how many hairs chin have in 1 follicle? Do you know how many hair in 1 follicle in human begin?

Lol. I know chins has alot but i dont know how many. Human has 1 or 2? He seems so cute & like to pose.

Chin have 50-80 hair in 1 follicle. Human only have 1-4hair in 1 follicle. So it is very hot for them if you still wear the cloth.

agree...

even thou i know they looks SOOOOOOO cute with cloth.. haha..

i just bought my chin few weeks until today he isnt rly tamed yet problem is today i saw his eyes like bleeding on one side any idea why and how come?

Hello All Chinchilla owners..
Do you all have any idea why my chinchilla's
eye is swollen and have eye's dropping ?
Is he sick or something???

One of the sign of this kind of eyes problem is malocclusion, a genatic teeth disease that will lead your chinchilla to dead, nothing can be done except put the animals to sleep.

Pika look very enjoying life~! Did you hang soem chew toy in your cage for him?

Hi all,

After 3 days I've finally been able to finish all 118 pages of this thread. And I must say I've learnt more from reading all this than from any of the other professional websites. That's probably bcos there's a human element to the replies, not just raw scientific facts.

I'm a Malaysian working in HK and after a year of research and careful deliberation I've decided to get myself a companion 3 days ago. The hardest part is to configure the proper conditions in my 540sq ft 2 room apartment (welcome to HK). Temperatures here range from 32 degrees in summer to 14 degrees in winter. Humidity ranges from 80% in summer to 30% in winter. As you can see the range is rather wide.

Obviously it's summer now in July, so I decided the cage which is 420x650x740(h), by the window sill which is raised 500 above floor level, in the living room. I figured one reasons for this: The living room is where I spend most of my time when I come home, and that means that the animal would be able to acknowledge my existence everyday, as opposed to putting it in the closet room, which is smaller but would be less costly to cool down with the A/C. The flat is facing west on the 15th floor, and with the surrounding towers there isn't any direct sunlight. The windows are shielded with blinds.

Introducing Furby the 4 month old male beige.













On the first day it was just exploring. I got him from a local breeder and I got to see the mother and father to discern their health. Mum is a dark beige and dad is a standard grey. When I held it in the shop it was so tame but when I put him back in the cage he starting jumping and redecorating. I thought that was a good sign of health and I chose him.

Last night after work I went to get a litter box and a bird handing wood toy with a bell at the end so it won't get bored. Had a bit of experience with swarf hamsters before, so I put the urine stained shavings into the litter box. My concern is that this litter box is the plastic one with the metal grilles covering it that I see some owners use on the forum as well. And also I realised that the hanging toy uses a fabric rope to string the wooden logs together. I only realised how these items would be a potential hazard when Furby manage to hop on one of the wooden perches and chewed the zip tie holding the thermometer to the cage. I have removed the hanging toy, and left the litter box. What do you guys think?

Furby had his dust bath last night, will try to post more pics in the weekend.

Keep up the good work guys. This thread is awesome.

Now it's the 3rd day It's a healthy little fella, and very very active.
