Have you ever thought to yourself... what is in my pets food and what do they eat? Well, I hope you have! It's important to know what goes in your pet's food and what the best type of food you can feed them is, so I thought I'd take some time to break down what a Chinchilla should eat.

Our Favourite Chinchilla Chew Toys
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, You may know that it was quite difficult for us to get our hamster to use the chew toys that we bought her, but I am pleased to tell you that we have had a much easier time finding toys that Gary likes.

Kalista Where are you hiding now? (Cat & Chinchilla Photos)
This week has been a bit rougher on our little ones While Beau and Kalista have been getting along fairly well, there's a bit of dominance showing up.

How Long Does a Chinchilla Live? How long is their Lifespan?
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, Continuing on from the post of how long Dwarf Hamsters live, and how long Betta Fish live, I decided to do some digging to see how long Chinchillas live for, especially now that we have the adorable Gary in our household!
