He just lies down without doing anything for some time...I do not know...He does not seem sad, though. I posted here because I needed some advice on what to do.. But from what I've read, they can live alone as well if the chinparent plays with them..
Thanks for your reply. Do you think that I should better leave him alone? I do not mind if it will be two months or more..I am afraid of hurting each other.
hello! I've had a male chinchilla for a year and I think he needs some company! Last year i tried to bring him together with another male but the thing did not work out, maybe because I was impatient up to a point. I would like to know if there is a chance for two males living together in harmony. I would not like to get a female one because they will reproduce and I will not be sure if I will be able to find a trustworty person to give him/ her the babies. It would be necessary here for me to point out that I live in Greece and castration here is not safe and can be fatal. Pleaseeee help me!
Ok, I see..My Mickey eats much,though, I do not know if Oxbow Critical Help would be necessary but I'll give it a try since I do not have many options..I think the rabbit food you recommended exists here, but I'll check it out! I couldn't thank you more! Really!
There is a bigger variety in rabbit food..Do you have anything to suggest? I am thinking of giving him some probiotics since he has taken too many medicines. Which do you think is the most beneficial and safe for my Mickey(other than Bene-Bac because I do not think it will be available)? I think I am going crazy..pfff...
The vet I went to was supposed to be specialized in rodents and small animals. The thing is that no vet in my country knows much about small animals in general. I have been giving him different food at times (I did not know that this change was disturbing to his health). When I found out about this, I decided on "Charlie", which I have been told that is of bad quality, so I think I will gradually replace it with Science Selective. What do you think about this food? What about Emotion by Vitakraft?The hay is fine but there are no supplies for chinchillas. There is no variety of food, only 2 or 3 options from which a chinchilla owner can select. I have made a research on food and the ingredients that benefit a chinchilla and I have found some good brands which ,however, are not available here. You've been a great help!
I have read that in order to help his "good" flora of the intestine to came back, it would be good to give him some probiotics. Can I give him probiotics by myself without a medical prescription? I forgot to mention that the vet said that my chin has gases, I don't know if it is of any importance, but I mention it anyway. I am very nervous about his illness since he is my first pet and I am very much in love with him..
