you should do some dos and donts for chinchilla toys because I got a chinchilla two weeks ago and I feel she needs more toys. Also your videos are so helpful and I love watching them!!💗

My chinnie always reaches for the fan when it's on. Since it spins he runs around his cage trying to catch some wind. Once I put it in front of his cage and he just stood there with his paws on the wire of the cage 😂

Please do chinchilla Do's &Dont's on toys and treats because I feel like my boy needs more toys but I don't know much about what is safe and what is not.

This was a goodddd

( If you have any questions I'm a Vet Tech and owned many chinchillas) Chinchillas are from high up in the Andies mountains they're perfectly fine in cold weather and their fur adapts to it and should not be kept in temperatures above 60 degrees it will kill them I've lost 2 chinchillas to that being down south it gets hot asf. So Drafty places and in front of fans are perfectly fine and actually safer for them if you live in hot states or countries. Sunlight is also fine as long as they're in cool areas. DON'T stick them in front or near heaters they can and will overheat, Along with chinchillas are suicidal and can die from heartache/depression. I had a mom whose baby died they were paired together the baby ( young adult) died of heat stroke ( we have AC but it was a super hot summer) the mom gave up & would bite & piss on people (that's their defense mechanism is to stand up and pee on you) refused to eat or do anything she was devastated ( she had twins one male one female) we couldn't stick her in the males cause babies but they were right next to each other. Our remaining boy (his father also died of heat stroke after moving down south yrs ago) got super depressed and chewed off the tip of his tail in the night we found out the next morning and fixed him up. He's fine now and happy. Also, DO NOT BRUSH THEM it ruins their fur.

Your videos are sooo helpful and I definitely feel more prepared for when I get my chin❤️ I have one question though, I’m really confused on what I should do for bedding. Should I use the fleece if I don’t know how to sew or don’t have a sewing machine? What bedding should I use and what is safe?

Johanna Briggs I have a video called All About Chinchilla Beddings that could be useful for you. It’s one of my older videos but the information is still valid. Also, is there maybe someone that you know that could sew it for you? I know how to sew but i always ask my grandmother to sew my liners for me because I feel like her sewing is a lot better and my liners last longer. If not, you can actually buy ready-made liners for the Critter and Ferret Nation cages online either on Etsy shops, Zoey And Lilo’s Toy Box or TJ’s Chinchilla Supplies😉💕

How about a do's and don'ts video about every day( ex. don't give them tons of treats during playtime. do make sure that that you give your chinchilla an unlimited access to hay and refill when needed.) I hope this helps. BIG fan, love you.

Unfortunately not :( A good rule of thumb for chin temperatures is to not have the humidity and temperature added together equal 150. So for example, 61% humidity and 79 temperature (Im assuming 79 degrees F) the total of both numbers is 140...this is borderline dangerous temperature/humidity for a chinchilla. My channel has my chinchilla and she is 9 years old. I've had her for 8 years. Hope that helps!

@natashaghosh8292

My chinchilla doesn't care most of the time. Sometimes he cares because I take his poops away, and he gets real protective of his turds when I bring the vacuum cleaner around. He starts chasing the vacuum cleaner too. But he's never been afraid of it. Honestly, my chinchilla is super relaxed and mellow, if I fill up his bowl with fresh pellets, he wouldn't care if I had a tap-dancing troupe practice in the same room. If there's a new sound that he will be hearing a lot (air conditioner in the summer; different vacuum cleaners all year round; the furnace downstairs in the winters; the plumbing), I introduce it to him by first giving him fresh pellets. And then I close the door to the room, and start using the appliance in another room. Then a few days later, I'll open the door to his room and make the same racket. I slowly bring the noise closer and closer to him till it's in the same room as him. But because I do it gradually and with food, he doesn't develop any negative associations with the sound so he isn't afraid.

I have one more request, can you do a video of what to do with your chin if your parents are divorced?
