No fan wont help reduce heat for chinchilla, and cannot blow directly to them as well. Fan is to use for ventilation. Chinchilla release heat from feet and ear.

Where is everybody?

Yes, is a Black Velvat.


Should be fungus, but if you can show photos, then is more accurate to tell.

yes, just add 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of dust.

Yes, every day for 2 weeks, after that 3 time a week, then see how it go.

You no need to seperate the chin from another room, unless you get new chin from unknown source, then you need to quaranteen the chin to another ROOM.

They feet is design to hock on mountain ROCK, it mean to be rough, so they can jump from rock to rock in the wild.

What is the colour of your chin?

No, stop apply the powder on the eyes, it will get the eyes infected as the powder contain poison. You continue to give dust bath, soon it will clear.

put the dust bath in for 15 mins, he will bath, then go play , then come back bath again.

Happy New Year!!!

you can't know. cause some is 6 months, but the size like my 2 months old chinchilla. you wont get 2 months old chinchilla in pet shop.

no, the size of the chinchilla is depend on the health and the genetic of the chinchilla. For a 6 months chin, the weight should be at least 500gram and above, if 600gram, fantastic.

Added on January 4, 2010, 10:47 amYes, well explaination. To add on for princess, I THINK is not that easy to see underage chinchilla sell in pet shop even tho it had, however, underWEIGHT chinchilla is plenty. All chinchilla MUST wean at 2 months/200gram and above to be enable to have save life for the new owner. If you are a beginer, get chin that is older if you want to get from pet shop.

Added on January 4, 2010, 10:50 amAHAHAHA... sorry, too many, lose count! However, it is the same, they are happy and want to be mate. You can get her a neighbour tho. If you have another male chin and put on another cage side by side, you will see they chit chat. if you have another female chin, you will see they running in the cage for playing almost every night.
