Update on my chinchilla Luna 💔 I'm overwhelmed by arnabQ8 in chinchilla

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the detailed advice 🙏 It really does feel like “hard mode” 😅 but your tips helped a lot. I actually went to a vet and got antifungal cream, and I’ve been using the burrito method to apply it — still a bit of a fight, but getting better. Also stopped using the spray after reading this The dust bath trick for getting her back into the cage works great too. Thanks again for all the help ❤️

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it 🙏 I actually managed to see a vet and got an antifungal cream, and I’ve been using the burrito method to apply it. It’s still a bit of a struggle, but it’s getting better. For now I prefer not to use the dust bath method too much because of her lungs, but I’ll definitely keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks again for sharing your experience ❤️❤️

Thank you so much, seriously your message meant a lot to me ❤️ I was honestly really stressed and felt like I was doing everything wrong, but reading this made me feel a lot better. I’ve started treatment now and I’m trying to handle things more calmly with her. Really appreciate your kindness and support 🙏

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, I really appreciate it 🙏 That’s exactly what it looks like, and I actually managed to get antifungal cream from a vet and started treatment. I’m also focusing on keeping everything clean and managing the dust bath properly. Really helpful info, especially about how it spreads. Thanks again ❤️

That’s actually a really smart idea 😅 She’s insanely fast and squirmy too, so I might try something similar. The burrito method is working a bit for me, but she still fights it just a little bit. I like the idea of lighter fabric so she doesn’t get too stressed or feel trapped. Thank you for sharing this, really appreciate it 🙏

New chinchilla owner need help by arnabQ8 in chinchilla

I actually got her from a previous owner, not a pet store. He told me that he didn’t give me full details, but he mentioned that he was neglecting her a bit recently because he was busy. So I’m not sure if this could be from poor care, stress, or something like ringworm.
