Hi this is my first night with my chinchilla! I love your channel so much btw!

I’m getting a chinchilla next week and today we just sorted out the air conditioning (I’m from the UK so we don’t have it built in because it apparently does not get hot enough to have it!!! But we get 100°F summers now!?!) I made some platforms the other day but the Wood was treated so I put fleece on them so it could not chew them. My Nan is making a hanging house for it. If it’s a girl I’m gonna call it April and if it’s a boy I’m going to call it Arlo

They are so cute

I love your videos! Thanks

Awwww there so cute!!

I love these vids me and my chin cheerio watch them and I really learn a lot from you

Merlin's mom : I try not to give Merlin to many treats. Merlin: *Shoves head in treat jar Lol

I love ur vids❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

where did you get your cage from. i’m thinking about getting one i’ve done a lot of research. your cage just looks so cozy and nice💗

So I am going to be getting my chinchilla soon and I wanted to know if you would recommend using soap and water in a bucket and soaking the fleece liner to clean it if you are not able to put it in the washing machine and then take another bucket of plain water and rinsing it thoroughly and letting it dry. I would just put in the washing machine but I am not allowed to do that so I'm having to think of other ways to be able to clean the fleece liner because I really want to use fleece liners since they seem like one of the easiest bedding types to use.

I'm getting my chin tmmrw I'm excited u help me so much

Thank you for this video ..it is was very informational:) Where do you get your ledges ? And what are some chews that you would recommend? How often should I switch up my chins cage ? As in his houses and toys . I hope I'm not too a annoying ...I just am new to chinchillas and I have a lot of questions XD .

I really hope this helps with my chin! He’s escaped from his cage 2 times this week and it’s been hard to catch him!

What do you use as their cooling rock? I want a chin SO SO bad so I am doing research to possibly get one next year. Any tips?

I needed this :,D My chinchilla prefers my mother ÙnÚ

Just got a new chinchilla lessbthan a week ago. Haven't tried to pick him up yet. We just lay our arms in his cage and let him jump all over them. He is starting to come to our shoulders now. Is it OK to try and pick him up to bring him out of the cage for play time or will that scare him? So far he doesn't really seem to want to be picked if it's not on his terms

Hi! I love your channel and I'm thinking about getting a chinchilla of my own, and from other articles that I have read several times that you need to get at least two to be together because they can die of loneliness. Is this true, and if it is, is there something I could do for it not to be lonely without getting another chinchilla?

Can you record more vlogs? I love your chinchilla’s and you so it would be amazing to be able to see more of them.

I was wondering how you would get the chinchilla into the bathtub? My previous chin hated being handled and the only way I could move him to another area was by waiting for him to get into his dust bath and moving the bath. Is there an easier way to move a chinchilla especially when you just got them?

😊👍

Awwwww Merlin is so cuteeee 😍😍

hi i have a question and i hope you respond because i really need to know an answer lol. i’m getting a chinchilla in a few days and his cage is close to a tv, do chinchillas get scared from the sound of the tv when it’s on? if they get scared by the sound of a tv i would like to move his cage :)

Oh also my chinchilla yesterday broke her paw which vet do you think we should take her too? 💔

Hi The Chinchilla Notebook!! I recently just got a chinchilla earlier today and it is currently in a rabbit cage. Don’t worry he’s only 6 months old, but PetSmart didn’t have any chinchilla cages.

Putting it in your room should be fine. Mine is in my room and i have no issues. As long as its nice and cool it should be fine. You don't need fleece but it is the recommended and cheapest form of bedding. You could use pine or apsen shavings as bedding but it tends to get messy and also expensive to buy. Fleece is probably the best way to go and you can find nice prices of etsy

Hello! This isn't on topic to the video but I had a question! I adopted a lovely chinchilla from a standard pet store about a month ago, and I don't know her age!! I only know that she was in the store for 6 months because nobody would adopt her (makes me very sad because she is a sweetheart). Do you happen to know what age they are when they are in pet stores so that I can guess her age? I would go to a vet to find out her age so that she can also have a checkup, but that's hard due to covid. Thank you!:)

Would it be best to get two chinchillas if I have school 8-3 on weekdays starting in August?? I have one right now and I’m worried she will be too lonely without me for those seven hours

Hi I love your vids I hope I get a chinchilla I watched most of your videos love you

Not sure if you knew this or not. But ima say it anyway, to help with bonding, it would be good to start switching cages. The scent will help them both get use to eachother without causing any harm. After a while of that, put the cages right next to eachother and keep switching. Then playtime and once u are comfortable with them being together let them share the cage. Just saying this to you or anyone who needs advice that may help on bonding the 2 together

i love you videos but i dont have a chinchilla and im doing research on them so i can ask if i can get one

I don’t know what happened but when I first got my chin he lost some hair (not a lot tho it was in some places) and after a couple months it stoped me and him had a bond but now he is kinda acting like he doesn’t know me and bite me a lot and loses a lot of hair I normally leave every weekend to go with my dad so I’m not sure if he is mad at me for leaving him with my family or what it is

We have the same hay feeder 😯

Hello TCN , my name is Chloe and I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and so on. I just got my first baby chinchilla of 7 months and wanted to ask about this treat I was recommended from an exotic pet store there called dried roses and buds, what is your opinion on it hun I like to know.

@1978Moonshine

4 жыл бұрын

Dried rosehips are a good treat for them (be sure to halve them and remove the fluff before giving them, not all chins discard it and it can cause choking), as with any treat moderation is key. I buy hay that has rose or dandelion in for my 2 boys (vet approved) and they love hunting through to find the added extras,

Even if I dont have a chincilla this will help when I have one

I’ve had my chinchillas for...probably almost 3 years now and one of them is the sweetest thing ever and the other became very mean during his “teen” months but he hasn’t grown out of it like the rescue said he probably would...ive kind of just let him do his thing (of course letting them run around for playtime, and giving them treats and such) but does anyone have specific tips for mean/biting chinchillas? (He’s also very protective of the nice one)

Scoop from both sides of the chin. Support underneath and the belly then pulling the chin close to you. As long as you dont squeeze their ribcage or actually dont squeeze any part of them you will be fine. I try to keep a firm grip on the chin while still not squeezing.

Is it okay to keep your chinchilla alone for a few months when you first get them so that you can have time to bond with each instead having to worry about bonding with two chins at the same time? It would only be temporarily ( like a few months) and then I would get another one.

@brennawenger4091

4 жыл бұрын

That's fine. Just make sure you spend lots of time bonding and socializing each day. If your chin is comfortable with it, you should dedicate at least an hour a day, but strive for about 3. She has a video about keeping lone chins, so I recommend you watch that.

My schools rescue got a chinchilla and my teacher gave me the special mission of bonding with our chichi. He eats out of my hand (so yah :D) and let's me pet him as long as I don't swoop above him.

I am getting my chinchilla tomorrow

My chinchilla is very shy and scared but he has his loving moments. I've had him for 5 months and we are still bonding. What worked for me is I put my hand in his favorite spot to sleep and he got used to sleeping on it. Like when he catches the moment I put my hand in there, he immediately sits on it. I sometimes stay like that for up to an hour, but it's worth it.

Unless you mean around the room not on a leash that is not a good idea. Chinchillas have extremely delicate rib cages that are very thin and breakable. This makes any type of restrictions around their middle extremely dangerous, including any type of harness
