- HINTS FOR HAPPY SYRINGE FEEDING
- By Cody the Chinchilla (as told to Lori Earle)- My name’s Cody, and I’m a three-year-old chinchilla. For the last year, I’ve been having some health problems, and I can’t eat like the other chins at our house. My mom’s been syringe feeding me for about nine months now, so I’ve spent a lot of time on her knee, giving her pointers. She thought that you might like to hear some of my suggestions. We both hope that you’ll find them helpful in case you ever have to do some hand feeding...

- Laceration Repair Surgury
- Author: Nicholle - These are pictures I took of a laceration repair on Athena. I'd had her about a week and she'd finally let me rub her chin. I started rubbing under her leg when I felt a bump that was not supposed to be there. I took a look and a very ugly looking gash was there...

- MUFFY AND HER TAIL OF WOE
- Author Lori Earle - Muff is a 4-year-old standard grey chin, and in early November, I noticed some hair loss on the end of her tail. My vet found no evidence of ringworm, mites or infection. It didn’t appear to be fur chewing, either. The lower third of her tail was just becoming uniformly bald. Here is her story.

- SENIOR CHINS: UNCHARTED TERRITORY
- Author Lori Earle - When I bought my first chinchilla, Tess, thirteen years ago, I had no idea that her life span could exceed twenty years. Surely I never imagined I'd be sitting here so many years later with 29 chins in my care, and my thoughts dwelling on chinchilla geriatrics! Lately, however, it's become apparent to me that I'm entering a new phase of chinchilla care with my older chins...

- Sugar and Spice Kelley’s Abscess Story
- Author Amanda Dean-Wilson - ...On the eve of January 2nd, I was feeding Kelley and noticed a lump on the back of her head.

- The Possible Effects of Other Animals On Chinchillas
- Author Jo Ann - Always remember, chinchillas are very fragile animals, both physically and emotionally. Anytime another animal is around your chinchilla(s), no matter how much they have been around them before, or how docile they seem to be around them ... use extreme caution! Never leave them alone with your chin, or allow them even the hint of a chance of an access to your chins without supervision. It only takes a minute...

- Unusual Chinchilla Health Problems
- Author: Jo Ann -
There are the 'normal' or more frequent health problems we see in chins such as diarrhea, enteritis, giardia, heart murmurs, and malocclusion, these are, or can be, deadly. Most of us are familiar with these ... but ... hopefully not on a first-hand basis.
Then there are the 'odd', unusual, and "never heard of before" problems that they can develop. More and more of these are becoming discovered...
