Common Chinchilla Ear Diseases and Daily Ear Care
Chinchilla ears are delicate and prone to injury (extreme temperatures, fights — look for peeling, blackening, red swollen bites) and infection, especially ear mites (head-shaking, scratching, hair loss, sometimes eye inflammation). Deep wounds may need vet stitches and antibiotics. For care, a mineral-oil cotton ball wipes the ears; seek a vet for heavy buildup. Provide dust sand and check ears regularly.
Trichomoniasis in Parrots: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Avian trichomoniasis is a parasitic disease from Trichomonas gallinae, common in parrots (and pigeons, ~80% carriers). Signs include yellow cheesy throat lesions, drooling, weight loss, diarrhea, and breathing trouble; severe cases damage organs. Diagnose via mouth-swab microscopy (not fecal), isolate and disinfect, and treat with dimetridazole (50 mg/kg or 0.05% in water for 5–6 days). Prevent by quarantining new birds.
My rabbit has had this skin problem since giving birth – what could be the cause?
Post-birth skin issues in rabbits are often fungal ringworm, which spreads fast and is dangerous to kits. Isolate, medicated-bathe, disinfect, and apply antifungal cream; see a vet for confirmation.

Senegal Bushbaby
The Senegal Bushbaby (Galago senegalensis), also called the Senegal galago, resembles the tarsier and the loris, especially in its typical round, protruding large eyes. About the size of a squirrel, it is arboreal and nocturnal, agile and good at jumping up to 3–5 m. Its neck is very flexible, able to turn back 180°; it has one pair of nipples on the chest and one on the abdomen.
Philippine Tarsier
The Philippine Tarsier is one of the smallest monkeys still in existence, mainly distributed in Southeast Asia, so it is generally only seen locally. Because of its scarcity, it is an endangered species now under state protection.
Silver Mosaic Chinchilla
Some Silver Mosaic Chinchillas give the illusion of being all gray, but on close look their underfur is white; most can be told apart. The Silver Mosaic Chinchilla's scientific name is South American chinchilla, and because its appearance resembles the cartoon chinchilla in Hayao Miyazaki's film 'My Neighbor Totoro,' Hong Kong people renamed it 'Silver Mosaic Chinchilla.'
Campbell’s Dwarf Hamster
