I will try the toy you guys suggested, I'll also invest in some automatic toys. I've honestly never considered that I may have some kind of sleeping disorder. Not sure why, it makes sense. My father was always a light sleeper so I assumed it was a hereditary thing. I'll definitely have to...

I've got an AC going almost all year round for the chinchilla(and a fan when it's too cold for the AC) so I've always got that background noise. :') I bring an entirely new meaning to light sleeper. The chin sneezes from the other side of my room and I'm awake. With benadryl I'm able to stay...

Benadryl will knock me out and it helps me sleep through his annoying antics, but I cannot take that on nights that I work early the next morning. I've taken melatonin once, I don't recall how it worked but I'm worried it will have the same side effects as the benadryl. When crated, he...

He can’t wear a collar, he will rip anything that’s break away off or hang himself if it’s not. :’) Earplugs won’t work, they keep me awake. I tried that years ago for something else and I just couldn’t sleep with them. Plus he will eat them if they fall out, no hesitation and I don’t want to...

He will get into more trouble with my door open so that’s not really an option. Spraying him doesn’t work well, he stops for 2 minutes and he starts again. He’s seriously a pest Lol. He’s got a window that he hangs out in occasionally. He likes to watch cars drive by. Got plenty of feliway...

So I've got a 2.5yr old neutered DLH that I rescued from a client at work(I'm a veterinary nurse). I've owned a handful of pets throughout my life and I've concluded that he's just absolutely insane. His energy level has tapered some, thank god, but he's still relatively crazy. I try to play and...

Just wanted to post an update... I found a solution, I just hope nothing changes. Nature's Variety seems to be the answer. He seems to hate the turkey though, even if I mix it in with a different flavor. Rabbit is the favorite, since it's the most expensive Lol.  I had my older boy on this...

My apologies for not elaborating but I've tried different formulas for all brands mentioned above. I've tried limited ingredient if available, and I've tried regular formulas. I've tried different proteins, though I know it's not protein specific. They've been on wet food their whole lives...

I don't rotate dry food... Just wet, which most people have no trouble doing. He can rotate fine between certain brands, there's just something about the others that gives him the runs.

I don't think probiotics will solve the problem though. I mean I can give it a try but no promises. He doesn't get diarrhea on all foods, I have some that work fine. I just would like to get him on better brands and to start rotating again. Rotating seems to make matters worse but I'm hoping I...
