Lol my chinchilla loves cuddles. When he comes out of his cage, the first thing he does is runs in between my legs & we just sit there for a couple minutes. Then each night before I go to bed, he sits at the edge of his cage and I’ll hold him for a few minutes (until he’s over it) but then he’ll nuzzle himself against my stomach for some massages lol He also loves my brother in law and is totally chill when he picks him up

OMG yesssss i loved this video

I got my chinchilla from a PetSmart, and the employee who helped me and my husband get him (ugh) boxed up told us how much he had been enjoying strawberry yogurt treats in their care. "How cool!" we thought bc we still had some from when we owned our dwarf hamster (r.i.p 🥺). But the slightest bit of research informed me how bad those kinds of treats are for chins! Then, very shortly after (within 36 hours) we got our chin, Nosfüratu, settled at home, I discovered your channel where you give such good and caring advice for all chin owners (but especially helpful for a first time owner). It's been such a big help and blessing. I do still mostly shop at PetSmart, but I am much more careful about what I select bc of you and, indeed, bc (as can be seen above in this comment alone) pet store employees are not always correct nor informed, and not veterinarians.

I definitely recommend the oxbow play table, it is more expensive than it should be. However mine destroyed it and they love it so much, as well as they use it as a hut to.

omg I got worried when u didn't post yesterday lmao

Omg you are my absolute favorite!!! You’ve gotten me and my little tootoots so close 💚💚💚 and you are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for all you do ⚜️

My chinchilla uses that and he LOVES it so I would recommend the garden select chinchilla food🥰😘😍💕

My chinchilla hated the Garden Select 😭 we started him off with that but he would always leave half crumbs. We switched to the red bag and he LOVES it. Never leaves a thing! It’s always my go to

PSA those little pineapple huts that they sell for birds are actually dangerous to birds because they promote nesting behavior and can cause cloacal prolapse. The birds can also ingest the material which can cause intestinal blockages.

I have two chinchillas and one is shy one doesn’t mind me. The shy one doesn’t like being picked up and the extroverted one doesn’t really care. However, both of them do not seem to like any tickles or scratches. They will let me stroke their head and back but nowhere else.

I love your video, I just wanted to put a few things out there; with hamsters, a Syrian and teddy bear is the same breed, as well with the oxbow food if your friend does end up buying a hamster oxbow is not the best for hamsters due to the fact that it does not have all the necessary ingredients and in some cases can cause a hamster to be malnourished if that's the only food they are feed. (it's a great brand for all other species with the exception of mice, rats, and gerbils) I love that you do your research!

My chin doesnt have front teeth (removed before I got him) so he didnt do well on the oxbow food, the pellets were too big for him. He eats the kayte food. But, he is super friendly and falls asleep in my arms when I pick him up lol. He is such a good boy!

What state do you live in?

Syrians and teddy bear hamsters are the same. They use the name to imply it’s a good pet for all ages when I recommend pets 12+ and chins for like 14-15+ it depends on maturity and I put 14 since that’s my age but I’d go for that age if it was my kid of the kid and I hate how they call them teddy bear hamsters. It makes kids and parents think it’s an easy pet to take care of that will cuddle like a teddy. It’s honestly horrible imo.

Basically my opinion is to support the good products they have not the bad ones. It may knock some sense into good and bad for them both and on the pets idk... like on one hand you’re saving them from a store that doesn’t really care and on the other is that you’re supporting them. It’s honestly mixed opinion for me
