  • Title...DO NOT LOOK [privet]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    To do a hair ring check, you first need to flip the male onto his back. You may need someone to help you hold the chinchilla throughout this process. Next, you push on the male’s sheath until you can see his penis. You must then pull the penis out to it’s entire length; this is about 2 inches long. If there is no hair around the penis, then you are done; make sure no hair gets stuck to the penis when it retracts. If there is hair around the penis, then gently remove it with your fingers or tweezers. Once the hair ring is removed the penis should retract; once again make sure no fur gets stuck when the penis retracts. If it does not retract, then you need to keep it lubricated until it does. To do this, put KY jelly on it at least three times daily.


    Teeth
    The teeth should be a yellow-orange color. This means that your chinchilla does not have a deficiency in calcium. Chinchilla’s teeth constantly grow and need to be filed down. Chinchillas do this by chewing on things. You should give your chinchilla wood toys or lava blocks that they can chew on. If your chinchilla’s teeth start to become too long, then you can take them to a vet and have them filed down. If your chinchilla begins to drool and lose interest in eating, then it is possible that they have malocclusion. If this happens, your chinchilla should be seen be a vet immediately. This is a very serious hereditary disease and, if not treated properly, can cause a painful death.


    Veterinary Care


    Before you get your chinchilla, you should make sure to find a vet near you that is knowledgeable about chinchillas. A respectable breeder in your area should be able to help you find a suitable vet. In the case of an emergency when time is of the essence, it will be critical that you already have a knowledgeable vet lined up and don’t waste precious time trying to locate one. When you first get your chinchilla, it is good to take them to the vet for a check-up. This ensures a few things. The first thing is you know whether your new chinchilla is healthy or not. It also helps you to get a feel for the vet and determine if they are a good match for you and your pet. A third thing it does is establish you at the vet’s office. There are some vets who will not see your pet in an emergency unless they are an established patient at their clinic.


    Safe Woods
    apple, hazelnut, pine (kiln dried & untreated), pear, manzanita, ash, willow, poplar, magnolia, larch, dogwood, elm, aspen, beech, mulberry, arbutus, cottonwood, crabapple, and hawthorn. As a general rule if a wood is safe for birds, then it is most likely safe for a chinchilla.
    Unsafe Woods
    any treated wood, any citrus wood (orange, lemon, grapefruit, etc.), cherry, plum, cedar, plywood, apricot, peach, prune, walnut, birch, fir, sequoia and fresh pine

    Treats


    If you decide to give your chinchillas treats, then you should only give one treat 2 to 3 times a week at the most. The treats should be no larger than the size of a raisin. Too many treats can cause your chinchilla to become ill, develop health problems, and possibly die. For example, treats can cause diarrhea, fatty liver disease, and hunchback. Chinchillas under 6 months should never be given treats. Some acceptable treats are raisins, craisins, rose hips, cheerios, and oats. Chinchillas should never be given any fresh fruit as these can also cause diarrhea.


    If you prefer not to feed treats but want to give your chinchilla something special, then rotating through many different kinds of acceptable chewing toys is a good idea. Good chewing toys can take the place of food treats and your chinchilla will be just as happy. Chinchillas constantly need things to chew on (explained below in the teeth section) and new toys always excite them.
