Awww, I remember when my Chin was a baby. She passed from natural causes while still young and left her mother heart broken and alone. After about over a year, we got a second chinchilla because we noticed that the mother would cry and she just seemed lonely. The new chinchilla accidentally got into the mother's cage and we were terrified. They nudged noses and began to jump and run around. They weren't fighting, they were celebrating. They stood side by side and would nudge noses, the mother showed the new chinchilla where the food and the water and the dust bath was. The new chinchilla was so scared to jump up the shelves so she would watch the mother jump back and forth. Its been a year and it's like they knew each other there whole lives. The mothers name is Katana, her daughter's name was Shiek, and the new chin is named Sheva.

blu uwu both of mine are.. the noises they most often make are the ones she listed as the comfortable baby feeding.. 😂 now i have heard one of them bark before but that was because one of my cat’s tends to be very curious so much so the other cats even sometimes growl at her because she just is so needy when it comes to being around other animals.. and my smallest chinchilla is kinda feisty towards her and will push her and bark at her 😂

I remember when my male chinchilla met his female partner for the first time and they were like in the notebook. Very long story short (it’s too romantic and extremely long, so if anyone wants to hear it I’ll write it down later). They lived together for 5-6 years and loved each other to death. And when the girl was about to leave us, mom held both of them while the guy was laying on top of the girl. Time went by and later she passed peacefully. He looked up at my mom like “it’s over now”. And when he later got back in the cage I could hear that screaming sound. I even woke up hearing it so he got to sleep with me instead. (Which he always have loved to do) It truly is heartbreaking. Good thing is he have found out we have a dog in the house too and now thinks he is her baby and want to be like her. Curl up like a dog while sleeping in a dog bed, wear a leash (not recommended at all, but if he is happy I’m happy), he have also barked like a dog, does things on commando, plays with my dog, he literally does everything! The only thing he doesn’t do as a dog is spinning like a cat while being cuddled (which he have done ever since I rescued him). So when people tell me to “get the rat out of here” I’m looking them dead in the eye and say “buy glasses, this is a dog” or “that’s very rude, he identifies as a dog”

That's a great story. What a tough time for everyone. Thanks for sharing. I take in guinea pigs who need a home, not to adopt out but to give them a home for the rest of their lives. When I get them, they are often half way or more through their life spans already, so I have had to say goodbye many times. When a pig dies, the others are very pragmatic about it. Nothing like what you described here... they will sniff the dead pen-pal, stand on them, then usually pull the hair a little bit. That seems to be the final test. They then just ignore the body, except in one case where one died a very sudden death over 24 hours, I had her put to sleep in the evening after finding her that way during the previous evening, just a sudden, inexplicable bout of fatal diarrhea where the day before she was just fine. In that case the other pigs stayed as far away from the body as possible when I presented it to them upon returning to the vet. Wouldn't go near her body.

They look like a cross between a bunny, a mouse, and a squirrel. They are so cute!!!!!

This brings back so many memories. My chin, Peanutbutter, had a personality like no other. He was like a sassy old man. He didn’t care too much for kids. Because of that, we didn’t get along too well I gotta say😂. He would also bark and chase me around the the house. I’m sure he got a kick out of making a human run around. Thank God that I was able to rebuild our bond during his last weeks. He was a wonderful friend.

The crying sound is indeed awful. One of my chinchillas is extremely timid, and bolts at just about anything. Once or twice she's hurt herself doing it. Last year I had to move, which made things worse, and she mostly just hides now. I wish I could regain her trust after the move.

give it time I am sure she will come around, try sitting by her cage and just talk to her, after a while put your hand in the cage and keep it still. Chinchillas are naturally inquisitive so she might come over. If she does just keep still this way she will not perceive you as a danger. After a while try offering her a treat so she associates you with something nice, it sometimes works with me but it takes time, some chinchillas will always be on the timid side though.

It takes a lot of time. I used to be able to pet and stroke my male, but he had to have an operation at the vet, and ever since he's been frightened and timid. He doesn't even like me putting my hands near him. That said, he's been coming around lately. He didn't take treats or sticks off me, but he's started doing that, so it's just a matter of baby steps. I even got a sleeping bag out and slept by his cage after the operation, to make sure he was okay. You have to remember that they're still prey animals, hunted by almost everything in the wild, including the most dangerous predators of all - us.

Wow, I never knew hiccups sounded like that! My chinchilla (her name is Hermione) will make that sound at night sometimes, I always figured it meant she was calling me or just checking if I was there. The crying sound, though, I figured out. She runs around the cage, occasionally bumps her head and makes that sound, then proceeds to shove her head into my hand, as if for comfort.

The little hand movement at 5:03 though 😭😭😭💕💕💕

In my experience the scream/cry can be due to shock as well. I only ever hear my chins screaming when they fall a floor or two in the cage (they are never hurt by this, but they do scream once and then look surprised). The alarm call is interesting. I don't think my female has ever made it, but my male does it often. Funny thing is; he stops if you just start talking.

@creepywaffles4783

4 жыл бұрын

Lol I love that!!!

I've heard all of those. I have four chinchillas; a bonded male and female that are together, and two females that are on their own. George, my only male, absolutely hates the vet. He had to have an operation when he was young, and ever since he's been terrified of the vet. He barks, spits, moans and whimpers. Then when he's actually in the vet about to have his check-up, he cries like a human baby - very loud. He gets ever so distressed, bless him. Even though they're in three separate cages, they're all quite close by, so I often hear them all talking - and they do warning calls when large cars or vans go past. I think the low rumble must resemble some sort of deep growl. And two of the females - Ruby and Boo - also alarm call while they're sleeping, and stop once I wake them up. Seems like they're having nightmares. Then Meg, the smallest, doesn't ever make any sounds - no grumbles, no talking, barking, nothing. She sits nicely and doesn't ever get in a fuss about anything.

That white chinchilla is so adorable and chill. 💜 Makes me want one. Looks like a living cloud

You have no idea how much better I feel knowing that my chin is making an alarm bark instead of some sort of kennel cough. My chin sounds almost like a wheeze at the end of the call and I searched everywhere to find out if he had to go to the vet asap! Thank you! I've done extensive research on chins before and still when I got mine, but I think that every first time chin owners should watch and learn from this video!

Chinchillas are the cutest! This little cutie looks like a soft ball of fluff! 💜🥺

My chin has made alarm calls in her sleep ever since she was a baby. A couple times she's used it because she got stuck somewhere and needed me to help her get out, but I figured it was mostly a night terror thing that she learned also worked to Summon Mom because I'd always go and comfort her. (She's a single chin because the local rescue advised us to stop trying after multiple failed attempts to find a second chin she'd behave appropriately around. Loves humans, though!)

This is sooooooo helpful!! I was wondering why my chin was gently squeaking, and now I know! Thank you! And also Saturn is beautiful!! She looks like a snowball lol

Your white chinchilla is so sweet and fluffy! I loved watching him wiggle around for the entire video lol. I'm trying to learn a lot more about chinchillas to see if I'd be able to own one, and this video was really helpful. =) The chinchilla's terrified cry was so sad to hear... =( I'm glad you added cute baby chinchilla noises after that... =(

It was good to finally see a video that interprets every sound so well... I've hard my Chinchilla for 7 years and just had to learn everything on my own. Every chinchilla owner should watch this video. Thank you Also about that teeth grinding sound I was kinda shocked to hear, since I've always thought my Chinchilla does it when it enjoys something. For example when I pet him while carrying him he just relaxes, closes his eyes and grinds his teeth slowly. I'm pretty sure he's enjoying it

@AllysAnimalAntics

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I suppose they probably can teeth chatter out of enjoyment as well🙂 I guess you have to look at the body language and behaviour of the chinchilla whilst they are doing it, if they seem like they are content then they probably are. Every pet owner knows their chins best and they all have unique personalities. I find it really interesting hearing what other peoples chinchillas do. With mine she is a sassy and grumpy girl and I immediatly know when she is annoyed or had enough by her body language.

So cute!! Thanks so much! I have a female chinchilla called Snowflake. Finally I can understand her feelings

I always thought that alarm barking was just mine making noise, here’s the thing, the chinchilla is the most feared thing in the house and he knows it. Dog is terrified and he picks fights with the cat, mostly play but still.

when my chinchilla first barked at like 3:00am I was so scared I thought he was hurt lol

I have NEVER heard any of my chinchillas make that "screaming/crying" noise. Hearing that broke my heart. How could ANYONE hear that from a small creature and think that the noise means nothing is wrong? That blows my mind. Animals deserve so much better.

Ty my chinchilla makes the alarm call sometimes and I didnt know what it meant so I ty for making this video

My chinchilla used to bark during the day, and I'd go comfort her, and she would stop right away. :)

My chinchilla once had a nightmare. She was store bought. When I came over to ask her what's up, she looked at me in confusion.

First time watching. My college had an event "animal day" where we got to pick 5 animals we would like to see from a local zoo. One of them was a Chinchilla........and I just feel IN LOVE with him. Ever since than I so often think about getting one myself(taking everything into consideration). From what I looked up about them..............they require "Low-medium" maintenance?! This was a very helpful video. Thank you!!.

Useful, thanks!

Thank you for the helpful video! But I had them for years and only ever heard them making one sound one time ever, when one time my male chin fell off behind the table he made the alarm sound. Other than that the babies does make the really slight and cute sound. They are extremely quiet in my experience.

Thank you very much 😊💖
