Flying sauce pan can only get from US/UK. Enable to use the saucer pan, you need to have your chin in air con room. If Chinchilla is rare in none AC condition, running wheel(above 15") or sauce pan is not encourage to be use in our climate without AC, even hv need to be limit.

not a problem.. aircon 24hours

1 question , how long does it need for chin to complete his bath?
mine bath ( pusing - pusing ) for 2 minutes , then stop , rest, go out , then come in to continue .
i put the bathing dust in a box , and put inside the cage,
everytime he pass by , sure he will start bathing again .

Is normal for chin to roll on the dust and jump out again, then go in again, their playing. You just leave the bath house in there for 10mins, then take out, dont leave there entire day.

i just saw 1 poor chin in a pet shop, no air con and that shop is so warm.. poor thing looks very lethargic already

Sigh:( I also saw 3 chins in a pet shop put in the dog display shelf which expose to direct heat(I believe sunlight is coming in as well at the morning), even I tell them the chin is suffering, need to be move, they said THE CHINS BEEN THEY LONG TIME ALREADY, NO PROBLEM. They think they can fool me, sigh . Eventually before I leave, they took 2 PIECES of newspaper and cover the screen outside.

I think the ferret there also suffer much as well, but ferret not much hair tho...

To add on, I saw 6 rabbit and a GP in the SAME CAGE, SMALL cage. My.... I was thinking can we create a thread which listed out the name of the pet shop we visit who didnt take care the animal they sell.

these places really make me sick.. they don't care about the animals at all and when we give them advice, instead of trying to learn, they just get angry at us for being 'keipo'

hey....anybody tell me,how to breed a chin ar....
i got a male and female in a same cage about 6 month
.... but my female didt pregnant 1....
why.................
help........me....!

how heavy is ur female chin ?
and how old is both of them ?

How old is your male and female? Do you do some research first before putting your chin into breeding? Breeding, every body will hv that temptation, fully study on what you going to do and check out your chin background is very important, is your chin a breeding quality?

Lastly can you handle the consequences that will happen if your chin have problem to delivery baby, baby get stuck, mother die, can you hand feed the baby every 1 hour, day and night, even you sleep at night for 3 weeks?

Chinchilla can get pregnant at 4 months of age, that will make you young chin into total disaster if she cannot handle the baby and herself still in the growing stage.

How about you do more study first? Seperate them for now in difference cage, go to the first page of this thread, click the links that for your reading, study hard, let's learn more before try to create baby chin.

i know how to take care chinchilla but have to learn much too...
erm....i do a lot of research already....
and those reseach i read from internet is almost the same...kekek..
and i learn how take out and the check the hair ring, food balancing and so on...
Erm ...the cage!at my home got extra cages but those is for dog!
