Hey All,

I am currently looking for a chin in Penang. Unfortunately the few reputable stores do not seem have any chins. CTY has 2 dark pastel but they are not for sale. I already have cages and am planning to get some essentials from Chin's Chubby store. Thanks to Danny for giving me some good advice.

The only headache now is finding a good seller in Penang which is a big pain. There was this Chin in Toby - the poor little thing had a broken leg. It was bloody and twisted in all the wrong way. One look and anyone can tell that this poor little guy was in a whole lot of hurt. Will be going back this week to ensure that this guy is treated well by the store. Its utterly revolting!

So anyone here knows where I can get a good quality Chinchilla in Penang? Thanks.

Its not a young chin. It looks to me like a violet but the coat is in bad condition. When I went back it was still there. The leg is worse now. The shop said it belongs to a customer that left it there. Seriously if its a customer they should not have accepted at such a condition. I did push but they do not seem likely to do anything about it. With a leg like that even if it lives the leg will have to be amputated. My other half was all red eyed just looking at that poor thing.

I am looking to get one that is Ebony Hetero or a Standard Mutation. Of course would love a Violet or a Gold - but due to cost factors would be too much due to availability. From who should I make arrangements? The shops here are not certain when they will receive any Chins. I have the necessary information and knowledge to be a chin parent. My only real concern at this point is our heat which I plan to rectify using a series of notebook cooling fans and at least one cooling pad.

Do let me know how I can arrange for a Chin and an estimated cost for those colors. Thanks Chinchillas.

Will try to get a shot if I am able to. But the store isnt too fond of it so it might be difficult. I will wait for your PM than.

Thanks.

This is the number. You can call to tell them off. 04-8297843 or 0124741788.

I am unable to take a photo. Will try to head over on the weekends.

Please remember to send me a PM on getting a Chin.

Thanks.

Oh yes please. The more people can tell them it would surely get them to move. The poor guy is suffering! This is definitely not right. I really do not understand how people can do that to their own pets. The world is really screwed up.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT! The poor fellow is still there! I just got back from the place! I got blurry spy picture! The skin on the leg is now flaking and gangrened! I do not think there is anything else to do but to put the poor fellow out of his misery. This is just sick! Freaking hell - how can someone do it to a helpless creature?! Its fur is so dirty I cant even tell what color it is now. It is now being kept all the way in the back. If it does not die from the leg it will surely die from the heat. Even if the chin is not owned by the shop they still need to care for it no? This shop is the worse.

Download the picture. Open it up with Picture preview or something and zoom in. It is abnormal because the leg is broken! A normal chin leg should not be red at least. They are not picking up my calls either. SICK!

Unfortunately I can only go during the weekends since I am busy on weekdays. Will try to keep calling. They denied that it is their chin. Even if it is not their chin they should still take care of it instead of leaving it to die.

Hey there all chin lovers,

I got a question. How do I get the chin to eat pellets? Timothy and alfalfa hay she takes fine. Just not the pellets. Does not seem to touch the Kaytee pellets.

Any ideas? The pellets are in a bowl at the side and the hay is in the middle of the cage. Tried putting hay into the pellet bowl but she still didn't eat the pellets.

Thanks.

You know the yellow bits in kaytee pellets? She picks those and those orange/yellow thingies only. I think the green ones are kinda spoilt. They smell kinda fishy. More like dog food smell. Maybe that's why she hates them. Do you think that's possible?

Sure thing! Kaytee Forti Diet Pro for chins of course. Also - Danny has been a big help.

Ok. Another question. If the chin is having diarrhea - how often does the cage need cleaning of bedding? Once or twice a day? Poop is everywhere in hiding place, hay bowl no matter how high. No more pellets given. Only plenty of timothy hay.

Guess thats the only way about it. It started since the day before but definitely less poop now that changed only to timothy hay. Hope she will get better soon and hope the diarrhea wont last more than a few days.

Thanks for the advice Chinchillas!
