pee pee on chins
« on: June 14, 2008, 09:21:17 AM »
Hi--What do you think is a good way to get rid of pee on a chin?  You can see it on the lighter colored ones. The fur looks all separated
on any color & you can feel it's tackiness when you hold them.  Mine get regular dust baths which I understand takes out excess lanolin & cleans them, but it doesn't seem to take that pee look & feel away.  Is that something that just has to wear off?  Especially the ones that are caged together for mating. Is there something else I can do?

You can use baby wipes.

Thanks--I'll have to try that.  I really didn't think about using anything wet for cleaning associated with chins.    ~JANE*

Does anyone else have any suggestions?  I tried the baby wipes & nothing came off.  I know it is urine on him.  The baby wipes really made sense to clean him. Timothy was such a pretty violet. He feels so tacky, if you know what I mean.  His belly was so white.   I still love him, but he is such a mess!!  HELP
By the way, does anyone else have this problem?     ~JANE*

Some chinchillas are messier than others.  I  had a white mosaic that always layed in his urine.  He was always yellow. Short of changing his cage litter several times a day (which was impracticable on my busy schedule) there was nothing I could do.  He just always stayed nasty!

He wasn't dirty until I put him in with a female...I guess I'll just have to figure it out.  Have you tried baby wipes yourself?  Did urine show on the cloth?  If so, what kind did you use.  Maybe it's the brand I'm using.          Thanks-- ~JANE*

Ahh,
She is peeing on him!  Don't even bother worrying about it until they have bred and he lives her alone.  Also if you haven't already, protect your walls and floor cause it will go EVERYWHERE!  Welcome to the wonderful world of breeding. :D
