Bonding With My 1 Year Old Chinchilla!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

hey guys! I'm excited for this video, since there has been a lot of progress with bonding with Zorro lately, and I wanted to share with it you. It's been a long process of bonding with him, since he's naturally more timid than merlin, but things have been going pretty well lately between us. I hope you enjoyed the video and have a wonderful week! :):)

    I was lucky enough to get my chinchilla from a close friend so I was able to meet him when he was only a week old and he bonded to me right away. I know that this is a chinchilla channel but I also have a small parrot (a cockatiel) and I got him 3 months ago and I was expecting him to bond with me in a month or two but it’s been 3 months and I’m still in the process of taming him and, I’m gonna be honest, I’ve gotten pretty annoyed and frustrated at myself and thought I was a bad pet owner because I couldn’t bond with him and tame him as fast as many of my friends have tamed their birds. So thank you for talking about your experience with bonding with your chinchilla and how it’s not the owners fault and how you have to be patient, that made me feel a lot better knowing that I’m not the only one who’s had trouble with bonding with a pet. Thank you!!!

    Care fresh isn’t safe for them. It’s paper based and when they swallow it, it expands in their stomachs and can kill them since it’s toxic and gets stuck in their digestive system. I recommend using aspen wood shavings instead of any paper bedding 💕

    To help them lose weight, I recommend starting to only feed them 2 tablespoons of pellets a day, along with giving them plenty of extra playtime and make sure they have a wheel in their cage to exercise when you’re unable to let them out. They should always have an unlimited hay supply. And avoid all treats for a while 💕

Would anybody know how to bond him with me? I’ve tried most things. He seems like such a sweet chin. I eventually want to bond them but I want Gus (My stubborn one) to like me before he meets another chin. I forgot to mention this but, Gus also sprays me when i put my hand near him, he also bites and since he’s a talker he will make noises at me.
