hi,

new owner to a chin and i just adopted her. need the sifu's advise to take care of her better.

the weather of late has been bad... is it ok for them ? or shd i put them in air cond room ?

what is the size of cage shd 1 chin be in ? i think my cage too small .... :S didnt expect this size as i got it online

sifu's advise will be appreciated for me to take care of her better thanks in advance

hello ! thanks for your reply

what is the right size cage for 1 chin then ? this way i ensure that i wont buy another too small size cage LOL !

thanks ! will check out cages in the market. Hope to find a 2ndhand ones as i wont know if i will be getting another 1 anytime soon LOL !

another silly question.

previous owner uses wood shavings but i read some info thread it says that they are not good for chins.... so do u guys uses wood shavings for your chin or not ?

nice chinchillas !

any advise on how to care for a 3 legged chin ? 1 of the hind leg is limp and only the bone is showing. poor girl ..

chinchillas,

picture taken but i need to download 1st thanks for all the advise ya. my girl is too smart, she manage to escape from the cage last friday and jump down from the table. I hope she didnt injure herself in the process and as she went from 2nd floor to 1st floor, I have no idea if she fell or jump down....

sigh yea i stay in a 2 storey house and she is house upstairs .... i prop her cage up on a table but that night she manage to open the cage door on her own and jump down (in between the table got boxes) so maybe that break her fall ?

then from upstairs she manage to get herself down to 1st floor and hide herself under the staircase with all the barang barang

she looks ok, doesnt look like injured or anything infact still wants to come out and i saw her biting the cage handle and i think thats the way she manage to open the door on her own.

still active, moving about, standing to eat her food and all that. So I hope she is really ok as I'm not experience enuf to see if she is hurt.

hi guys,

may i know where in PJ that u guys get stuff - food, hay, treats, toys for ur chin ? I'm trying to find in PJ but not able to. Most i went to have just a few stuff and none of them have toys ... :S any suggestion ?

hi chinchilla's

since i'm still new to owning a chin i prefer to get those stuff physically at petshop coz i can see the size and all.

tried pet lover centre but doesnt seems like there is much. more toward dogs most of the petshop i went to.

thanks anyway

Here is the picture of my surprise :

I think this kit is a boy...

baby chin is doing well ... growing bigger and bigger and i see him eating on his own already. When is the right time to separate him and the mum do u think ? somehow i see his fur so much nicer than the mum's anything i can for her ? she is eating alot too of late.

since kit is a boy, i have to separate them eventually so in the midst of looking for another cage now.
