Hay is not adviceable to use as bedding, it will get spoil, chin will eat it and get sick.

Thanks for the quick tip on testing the temperature.
Will try it out once I've moved into my apartment.
Yes I'm nocturnal & that's why I decided to get sugar gliders & because of that too I've quit smoking together with my bf.
Having pets is just like having children & I only want whats good for them hence the reading & understanding the needs of the pet.

I'm so sorry for your lost...

Good to hear you choose to quit smoking, that is not only for your pet, the most important thing is for yourself. Female smoking will result, age faster, die faster, stink like a pig farm, highest chances get breast cancer, skin look like a sand paper. Always think of how many ppl out there fighting to live(cancer patient) we still want to choose killing our self by smoking? blush.gif

Any time you ready can PM me if you wish to get chinchilla from me. laugh.gif

Added on July 27, 2008, 9:42 pmthis type of cage can get in malaysia?. and mr chinchilla where did u buy those woods in the picture. is pine wood?

Those cage is not available in our country, if you really planning, seriously want to get a chin coming future, then invest a good cage in the near future, I suggest you order directly from U.S " Martin Cage" , very good quality and is very tahan lama. laugh.gif http://www.martinscages.com/products/cages/chinchilla/

About the untreated pine wooden house, I special order, you can only get it from me, no other place in Malaysia at this moment you can get. blush.gif

How I know whether my chin is having diarrhea?

Since yesterday, one of my chin's poo poo is very moist. the shape of the poo still look the same but a bit fatter and some come out like a sausage (connected in a string) some of the poo poo might accidentally stick on the hair. If my chin step on it it will become flat and messy of coz. otherwise the poo poo will dry up and will look like normal poo poo.

I am very worried after knowing Heng 84's incident. Currently my chin's appetite has reduce 20-30%. He will eat the hay instead of pellet (which really worried me, as pellets are usually his favourite). Thank god that he is still active and still drink water.

I read through some website... which recommend to feed the chin with wheat. Thought of going to get some organic wheat tonight.

Just for additional info: I don't give my chins any treats after advise by you, only given timothy hay, alfafa and kaytee pellets. Water is clean too. Sand bath every 2-3 days once. The only thing that I am suspecious of is the hay house (but I have checked, no mould woh). And the other chin is alright (both chin is staying separately)...

Chinchilla... I really very worry. Pls advise me something. If you need to look at the poo poo I can take pic to show you. Thank you

Don't worry, diarrhea is very common happen. Yes, as stardust said, you need to stop feeding alfalfa hay right now, just give him pellet and lots of timothy hay. It should be be return normal soon. You can cut down the pellet now, like cutting 50% away, this will force him to eat more hay. By now you should know how much pellet he eat a day, cut half, he is ok. You can add orchard grass to encourage eating.

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...
*
If your chin bite you till bleed mean :

1. Your holding position is wrong.

2. He is very stressful begin hold by you, don't disturb him for FEW WEEKS, that will help him recover faster. Stress will also make him have diarrhea.

When you want to hold a chin, make sure is SCOOP UP, not CATCH from top or anyway, UNLESS emergency needed to do that. I will suggest you leave him alone, let him have much of privacy as possible including sleep. Don't go check him untill he awake or feel nervous, everything THINK of his wild life. Think like how he want if he in the wild, like darkness, quite, cold, dry, lots of hay.... smile.gif

My chin will nip me if he feel hot begin hold and want to go back to cage or let lose.

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.

Actually you can just wait till your chin diarrhea clear of before attend to clean him up, take in and out many time it will definately stress your chin. Let's him recover, then give him a nice dust bath. Using wet cloth is a no, chin fur should not be wet and cannot be wet, cannot clean him like you cleaning rabbit, he need EVERYTHING IN DRY FORM.

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.
*
Don't worry, your chin hv showing sign of active and appetite that is good sign. 5 months old still a baby chin. You can have any other chin younger or same age with him with no problem in introducing.

Digital weighing scale is a good investment, go walk around some kitchen department to find one that show in GRAM.

u need to monitor his weight, make sure it doesnt lose too much, diarrhea definitely gonna lose some but not too much and if im not mistaken  adult weight should not be lower than 400g or else it will fail to survive  ,i read from some website, correct me if im wrong
*
Ya, sometime will lose abit of weight if pellet begin pull out. If feeding just hay, will show even obvious, but that is for a while, after thing clear, chin can pump up very fast. biggrin.gif

Glad to heard your chin is recovery shingin, I believe soon he can back to his normal diet in full strenght.

The case for Heng's chinchilla can be have many unknown reason. I seen and encounter many difference cases of diarrhea in chinchilla and sometime you can't even know what when wrong WITH NO SIGN OF SICKNESS AT ALL. Some bacteria and virus which maybe no harm to us at all, but to chinchilla it may be killing.

Chinchilla/Rodent family been know to hv very delicate stomach, that's why chinchilla is used as an animal model include study of Chagas disease, Gastrointestinal diseases, Pneumonia, Listeriosis, as well as of Yersinia and Pseudomonas infections.

I am also learning everyday and do research often as to keep my self equit to face anything that may happen for my chinchilla. biggrin.gif

Stardust will get his Tan chinchilla this coming few day, he have even BIGGER EVENT take place on 8-8-08, you guys can guess what even is it!

hahaha, stardust, good business for you tho! biggrin.gif You should be preparing your wedding! And give your chin a specially set up to celebrate with you for you wedding ceremorny, they will love it!

Shingin, I will love to have a pet hotel SPECIALLY just for chinchilla, but at this moment, I can't open to provide this service. Don't worry about looking for someone who can help you take care, look for someone who is near your area/ or a friend who know some small animal basic. In the absent of you, you just need to make sure they is someone come to feed them once a day, nothing else chinchilla need beside clean water, pellet and hay. As for the person you thinking to ask for, you may also pick up few more to help up.
