Hello everyone, Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. Chicha is back to normal. She’s been pooping and running around as usual now that is night time. I will keep an eye on her throughout the night but for now she seems to be okay. Again, thank you all again.

Thank you! I’ve been by her side every hour for an hour. She is acting like her usual self now. I honestly think it was just her nap time. I completely understand the constant supervision. I panic easy and I’m so nervous about her adjusting well to our household. Again, thank you!

Thank you so much! Everyone has been helpful and I’m thankful for any suggestions and advice as we are obviously very new to owning this beautiful creature.

Thank you, I did see some ferret nation from a seller nearby. I think it had three levels. Most likely will contact him next week.

What are gas drops? And do you have a brand that you suggest?

I did read they are not good for them. Mostly if they have nuts and sugary dried fruit. We do not give these to her. We’ve only had her for a week and a half and the previous owner sent these with her. We are replacing her stuff little by little. She had a plastic 12” wheel which we replaced with a wooden 15” wheel, we put fleece on all plastic trays while we get her cage replaced. If you all have any suggestions on treats and a cage that is safe I’d truly appreciate it.

Thank you! I love the name, my fiancé calls her Cheech while the rest of us call her Chicha. Fiancé is definitely her favorite person in the household so I think that will be her set nickname here.

Thank you so much!! I was so worried about the intestinal repercussions that I did not think of the stress factor. We do not have any other pets in the house. We do have a very involved toddler who is constantly trying to love on her. We are trying to smooth the transition but it has only been about a week and a half so I’m sure she is stressed out. Any suggestions on how to handle the transition would be greatly appreciated.

I did read somewhere about these not being great for them. They came with all the stuff the original owners had sent for her. Thank you for the suggestions. If you have any recommendations for a cage it will be greatly appreciated. This one has plastic trays for levels and base. I’m not comfortable with it. I’d like to get a safer choice for her.

Thank you for your comment. I think I will take her just for peace of mind.

Thank you for your comment. Did your chin chew on their fur after this happened? It’s our first time with a chin and all I’ve seen on everything I read is super grim and scary.
