omg!! its awful that GMC's chin had to die just because of fungus!! the vet is a disgrace!!  vmad.gif

if anyone knows of any vet who has better knowledge of chins, pls share the information. and also share info on vets who don't know anything about chins! hopefully we can avoid such unnecessary loss in the future.

but most importantly is.. research research research

danny, welcome to chinchilla world. where u get your chin from? recent, i know 3 places selling chinchillas.

1) KW ( saw 1 std grey selling at rm850)
2) CTY (std grey RM600, mosaic RM1150, beige RM900) i love the one with the black patch on the neck wub.gif but the worker there seems blur blur with the price.. doh.gif
3) toby pets ( have chins on sale from time to time)


Pet shops in malaysia have very limited knowledge on chins. You must read from the internet and forum smile.gif

All sifu and chinchilas,

I had modified the cage base to solid type using solid top surface. All cloth material has been removed. The only thing left is the food and i will get it online as chinchilas suggest.

I wish i still have more blood to get the "M" cage. Need to wait until Dec bonus.

BTW, can anyone tell me what type of chinchila i own?

I was suprise that my Chinchila climb up from my hand to shoulder last nite. he climb up and down few times and some time sit longer at my shoulder. One thing is, he still not letting me to touch him.

Chinchillas,

I bought the rock from the pet shop. Dunno wat rock izzit. Normally they use for aquarium. Do i have to take it out and never use at all?

i have a room for him with 24 hrs ceiling fan, door open and dark (no direct sunlight). But noise from apartment above cannot be avioded. i scare of cold draft, but will it happen in malaysia since it all time summer? He sneeze and sometime make sound. Wonder izzit catching a cold or wat.

He always like to meditate at the rock for hours. Is it normal?

Hi all,

Finally i got my chinchilla a name called    "n ö n ö"  ®™.

Sometime n ö n ö still diarrhea, after a week of POP observation, i suspect it is due to overheat during the afternoon.

I installed a Hidrometer and thermalmeter at the cage and temp showed 29oC in the afternoon where n ö n ö usually had diarrhea and the POP went back to normal hard rock type during the night 23oC especially with aircond from my master bedroom.

All the while, the food has not change, the only variable is the temperature. The hydrometer showed the huminity ranginng around 65 to 75% which is quite stable with the "Hypoo" humit sucker. The variance is small, so most likely not the huminity issue.

My issue now is how to control the room temp at 24oC or lower. Probably to installed aircond when obtain dec bonus. Meantime will go with interim solution by getting the ceramic house and coolling pad from Chinchillas. But it will take 2 to 3 weeks for delivery. Anyone who have ready stock for sell in penang?

hi danny, no sign of this item in penang. penang has very limited source for chin. for the time being, you can help your chin to cool down via:

1) get a marble for your chin
2) turn on the fan to circulate the air ( will cool down the chin) sweat.gif
3) get a chiller pack (can get from tesco- blue colour), Freeze it and wrap it with a cloth to avoid bitten by chin and absorb moisture.

just my 2 cents of thoughts.. correct me if i'm wrong. tongue.gif

just a concern came across my mind...
how you manage your chin where your chin will be home alone for 2-3days without air cond? eg: you are out of town. hmm.gif

Something to add on chinchillas's response:
Pls remember that to maintain a chin oso required a lot of your time, patient [bath the chins and clean up the flying shits and urine], and $$, eg. hay, pellets, aircon [if possible], dust bath, digital weight scale, etc. The amount for me to spend on my chin is definitely more than the price of a chin + starter kit.

Think twice ohhh, b4 u plan to get a chin as chin's life span is 20 years.

yup.. agree.
a pet is a life time commitment. icon_rolleyes.gif

I saw one pinky white at KL selling cheap at rm1000 but too bad it is sold before i went back to the shop the next day.

thanks for sharing. appreciate that. i will set an appointment with you to visit your little chin. notworthy.gif
you may consider to get a ceramic house/ wooden house for your chin. he will feel more secure.


your chin is a mosaic. the pink white is cheaper. thumbup.gif
