Well he told me but two of them had some crazy names I would never remember, but he did tell me that she had numerous amounts of tapeworms.  It sickens me that they would sell me a chin with parasites. 

But yeah anytime I buy another I will be getting it from a breeder!!

Q & A / Re: Chinchilla keeps biting me..

« on: April 27, 2012, 05:06:40 PM »

Hey hun,
My chinchilla passed away last Tuesday.  But the first week I had her as well she was VERY aggressive and biting me every chance she got as well.  I didn't try to take her out the cage or anything, just doing simple task as giving her new hay and water.  I went back to the Petstore the following Friday after I got her because I was gonna give her back because she stressed me out that much.  She bit me all the time and she was so little that she would get out of her cage.  They told me to give her a couple more days to see if she improves.  The next day I let her out myself instead of letting her slip out herself.  She was a TOTALLY different chinchilla, she was all over us and being the best baby.  She never bit us again (unless we had a little scent of food on our hands).  I loved my baby so much and I miss her more than anything.  Enjoy your baby while you can.

R.I.P. Chizzy

Thank y'all so much, it really means a lot to me.

Another thing that I am VERY worried about is that yes my animals were aloud in my room while Chizz was in her cage.  I am scared that one of them might have digested Chizz's feces and the vet said that that would cause them to get a parasite as well but they have a scheduled vet appointment for that now.

It has upset me to no end about my baby all the time.  I am going to get another chinchilla I believe here soon.  But as soon as I get this one I think imma take it straight to the vet.

Hello everybody,
I got my first chinchilla on March 9, a little standard grey girl named Chilli Gizmo "Chizzy".  I loved my little girl, she was my little Chizz-ball.  I had her for a month and a half and she had to be put down almost two weeks ago (one of the most devestating things I've had to do ).  One night I came here to finding blood in her cage and when I seen her she had a bubble bulging from her behind, which while my boyfriend was looking for our local emergency vet number I found out that her condition was Rectal Prolapse, something almost always fatal.  I rushed her to the vet Sunday morning at 1 o'clock and the vet stayed up with Chizz till 4 am.  Later that day at 12 pm he called and said that they corrected her prolapse and she made tremendous improvement, they did test on her and she had three parasites, THREE!  NO WAY she got them from my household.  They kept her Monday and said she was still improving and I could come get her but they could keep her another day to ensure her health and I could get her Wednesday (cause they were closed Tuesday).  They called me early Tuesday morning and said that she had to be put down cause she was giving up.  I was torn apart.  I ended up paying $696 for a pet i loved.  I have been so upset about her death and I can't do anything with her cage or anything she had.  I feel every since I had her that I am in love with chinchillas.  I want another one so bad it hurts, because I wanted to get her a play buddy anyways.  But now I just want another one, of course never to replace my first baby.
My question for y'all is:  Is it too early for me to get me another baby?
