I exactly switched from using kiln dried pine shavings for bedding for my chinchillas to Carefresh bedding which is made from pomace. When I put the bedding in they both grabbed some and nibbled on it. I couldn't tell if they actually ingested it or if they were condign curious
the last in the flesh who answered was right about pine being toxic but only if its is NOT kiln dried. kiln dried pine shavings are positively fine to use as my breeder and i both use it. aspen shavings are alright too but don't seem to absorb odor as much as the pine and is

How Do I Get Rid of Flies?
by Chinchilla Planet
Our advice for Mary:
We do not have to deal with flies so that these suggestions are based on what we'd rather that true pass.
The demand to get rid of flies is that you get rid of deprivation of all the same in unison a all the same, or they just multiply and re-establish their numbers. In this perception, it is superior to find all the places where flies are alive, like bedding, dishes provisions, food containers, cardboard boxes, etc. If tenable, moving all these articles if the sale is not for law enforcement to succeed them.At the same counter, store the pen and clean cut free hand that imprisonment is in.
Another issue that could support the storage is stolen. Be very careful when you put your finger on these so they are out of reach of your chinchilla. In principle, take them away from the beach when you are around the chinchilla direction by the skin of his teeth used to be sure.
Flies are a nest of hornets plebeian with new chinchilla owners, but it is not always because it is not properly cleaning the enclosure.If so, any other circumstance, it cleanses the body, I prefer it as a substitute removes the right to replace it with new bedding. This will also get rid of any odors. You do not have to be PROFFESIONAL to care for your chinchilla. so you should check all food that can rot in their cages for more than one day. This definatley invite flys. If chinchila doesn't eat it, take it out!...
-Malocclusion – This can change from elongated front teeth to elongated back molars to molars growing up into the skull or out the bottom of the jaw. SYMPTOMS: aqueous eyes, wet breast, not eating, pawing at the muzzle DIAGNOSIS: to becomingly interpret a chinchilla with malocclusion you must take them to a vet and have x-rays done. A vet will be skilful to intimate you if your chinchilla has malo and can foretell you about the treatment options depending on how it is affecting your chinchilla. PREVENTATIVE: If malocclusion is because of genetic reasons it cannot be prevented. But environmental reasons CAN be prevented. Give your chin something to consider to enervate down its teeth all the while! Hay helps dress in down the back teeth so give it to your chin 24/7! -Ringworm – Ringworm is a fungus that is shared in chinchillas that have become wet or dwell in elevated-humidity conditions. SYMPTOMS: missing patches of fur, red scabby circles on the crust. As a rule starts around the nose and dial. TREATMENT: Position tinactin dredge (foot sprinkle for fungus) immediately on influenced areas (be meticulous of eyes, nose and opening!), put 1tsp of dust per 1 cup of dust in the chins bath – dust and attend space everyother day for 2 weeks then twice a week until fur has unqualifiedly grown back.
