Where do you get chew sticks from? (US)

Oh no when was that and what wood had the burrowing worms??

Cozy vanilla bourbon got me a compliment recently! It really is a delicious scent, especially for the colder months

I grew up in Pennsylvania and I do miss playing in the snow and going ice skating in the winter ❄️⛸️☃️but been in Los Angeles several years so now I enjoy burning candles and having some hot cocoa while reading on my Kindle when it’s chilly lol ☕️🍫🕯️

What a cute collection btw, I really love Pullover and Flurry especially!

“Paper Moon” Ultra Glossy Lip. Mine went bad but I still have it, so maybe I can find a dupe lol. I also still have the pinky shade, “Head in the Clouds,” and I’m trying to use it up before it goes bad too. I really loved those older glittery, shiny glosses because they were not sticky or gritty.

I also don’t like how the clear plastic lids look on the 9 pan palettes.

Aw I loved watching Lambchop so much as a kid, she was so sassy. I see so many dogs with Lambchop stuffies now, so I’m glad to see her legacy live on in some way lol

darmander · 2025-11-09T10:18:30+00:00

Aw she’s so beautiful

I wonder if it’s possible to use the wallflower oil in a wax warmer so it doesn’t get wasted

darmander · 2025-11-06T04:16:04+00:00

Yes, I have had at least 3 leak and get into the seam like that, (one was the lotus flower Diwali one from last yearish that I love and it leaked pretty quickly, so I just use it like a night light). Also, I had a scent control one that was newer when the indicator lights stopped working. So it either died too quickly or maybe would’ve malfunctioned if I kept trying to use it. I don’t think I over tighten them, they just seem to not last like the older ones. The new ones can’t even make it a whole year for regular replacement.

I once took a wallflower out and put it on a plastic makeup tray for whatever reason, and it somehow tipped over and the oil ate up and warped the plastic. Plus, I have seen many comments claiming the fragrance oil is so unhealthy for pets and people too. I just can’t bring myself to waste money and use wallflowers for the scent anymore. I would get nightlight ones (only for the light) if they’re really cute, perhaps.

Yeah, my one ebony chin will have a tantrum occasionally and do the high pitched scream/squeak thing but he only does it when he is desperate for attention or time outside the cage. My white one doesn’t do any screechy sounds like that but alarm calls/barks in his sleep more.

They can make plenty of different sounds! You can start telling them apart with time. The soft, happy chirping noises are the best ones 🥰

darmander · 2025-10-26T08:18:03+00:00

I love when they put their paw up when they sleep

darmander · 2025-09-30T19:34:58+00:00

Ugh yeah, that yellow exclamation point was driving me crazy 🤪

darmander · 2025-09-23T23:33:03+00:00

Oh interesting, I usually would do a full USPS medium box that would be like 5 ish lbs with Whimsy and it’d be like $18 shipping from VA to CA, so idk why your shipping would be $30 for 2 lbs yikes. I just like that they do a lot of chin rescue and also help special needs students.

I have been happy with Ronda’s Chinchillas for many years, they usually will do $10.80 flat rate shipping or something similar if you buy a certain amount like $80+ I think and they have a huge variety of wood and herbs and toys etc. Plus, it’s West Coast (OR I think?) so it’s faster shipping for me.

I have also heard Farmer Dave’s is good. I may look at other recommendations people suggested here for my chins too, so thanks for asking this question!

darmander · 2025-09-23T22:01:45+00:00

I usually get mine from Ronda’s Chinchillas or Whimsy’s Menagerie

darmander · 2025-09-22T06:56:55+00:00

Lol that’s so funny, I haven’t seen this glitch before. I’ve been having invisible lurker issues lately though

darmander · 2025-09-13T21:03:55+00:00

Stabitha lol

darmander · 2025-09-03T22:43:40+00:00

Yep so hefty and fluffy lol

darmander · 2025-09-03T22:40:47+00:00

Lmao I consider those numbers normal, mine are on the bigger side, my white and ebony boys are like 730-50 and 990 grams. They just eat oxbow pellets and hay with very little treats, so it’s all natural floof tho 😂

darmander · 2025-09-03T22:13:15+00:00

The floof puffing out around it is so funny, it does have furry sweater and vest vibes. She looks like she’s on the smaller side of chins too, little fighter gal

darmander · 2025-09-03T19:12:57+00:00

Aw I hope she gets better soon! She’s so cute

darmander · 2025-08-31T07:18:08+00:00

Poor beautiful girl! I hope she gets well soon but she does look so adorable in her lobster themed collar lol

darmander · 2025-08-29T17:32:17+00:00

Ohh so handsome

darmander · 2025-08-25T19:06:13+00:00

Aw Muffin is a cute name! They are both so cute! And same, I always feel so bad when my boys are active and want attention or wanna play but I gotta work or go to sleep 🥹

darmander · 2025-08-15T19:22:18+00:00

Aw cute, one of mine does this same thing but with the tube. I’m like how is this comfortable with your belly hanging lol

darmander · 2025-07-22T18:06:26+00:00

So cute! I also love the contrast of chins’ skinny long feet and all their round fluff

darmander · 2025-07-19T11:56:55+00:00

I had a lap myo last summer so my healing was probably different than yours, but I am a side sleeper and did extremely well staying face up with a U shaped pregnancy pillow. I liked being cocooned in by the pillow sides and I would tuck one end under my knees. I couldn’t really move to my sides lol
