What Are Chinchilla Fur Rings?
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Hey guys! I wanted to get this video out there for all my chin owners that have males. Hopefully this has made you aware of the risk of fur/hair rings on your chinchilla & you'll keep an eye on during your weekly health checks. Hope you have a great week! :):)

Male chinchillas will try to remove fur ring themselves it is their natural habit, breeders don't suggest check it too often because they will lose this habit and it will be more problematic if they can't do this themselves. I usually suggest once a month and definitely before you do it yourself have your vet do it for you as an example, typically check for fur ring need two people (one hold the chinchilla, one check for fur ring). If you are not confident just go for the vet!

Here is a link to advice from a reputable breeder just in case you wanted to check it out! At first I thought I had to check every month but this post was very informative!!! facebook.com/RDZCChinchillaRanch/posts/2204169522975016
Could you please make a video of how to bond two chinchillas together? Ps: your videos have helped me out a lot, thank you 🙌
The comments are so confusing cause they moved them also I love you Chanel
I just got two male chinchillas today, a light grey one that I named Zen and a standard grey that I named Diego. They are the cutest little things, thanks for the information ❤️
Thank you so much, I didn't even know that a fur ring was a thing! But now I check for them daily. I love your channel!!!
I’m glad you made this video, some people just avoid talking about ‘awkward’ topics but it’s super normal and important when you keep animals :)
I am so happy that you have more videos with Zorro!!!!
Zorro is so precious🥰 btw I love your videos, stay safe💕
Thank God you made this video because I had no clue what this is or how it happens! My chinchilla has been grooming down there a lot but he hasn’t had any other symptoms. I will have to check but thank you so much for letting me know😨🙂

Hey! I love your channel so much!!!! I was wondering can you do a video when you go to Pet Smart and Petco just because I really enjoy those videos and my chinchilla, Mika is running out of toys and I would like to see which toys you recommend. I totally get if you don’t want to!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Schwope Kids omg, my chin’s name is exactly Mika too lol! She does already have a video going to PetSmart and PetCo, it’s called “Chin Vlog - visiting PetSmart and PetCo”, where she tells about her experience there. Also, from my experience, those places do have good toys, but if you want to get toys ahead of time or anytime, lots of places online have toys. Some places I like are Small Pet Select, Amazon, or chinchilla websites! Hope this helps!!

Hi! I live your Chanel! But I have two questions about chinchillas I really want one but I was wondering if your could answer these questions' 1: is it ok to have your chinchilla cage in your room, I've seen a lot of different things about it but my room is really the only place I could put the cage and I know they can be REALLY loud 2: to keep my room cool in the summer I have an air conditioner its kind of loud and I'm not sure if it's too loud for chinchillas. once again I love your Chanel💕 stay safe 😘❤️
Could you do a video on how to make ledge covers? I've seen them in your videos 📹.
I’m getting a chinchilla so....THANK YOU FOR THE FACTS
Hey I am having some problems and I dont know if it is because I am doing a bad job as a new owner or if there is just too much going on but it would be really helpful if I could get some help. If you wouldnt mind, do you think I could dm you or email you? I just want to do the best I can for my chin and you have been so helpful already.
Hi! I only have one chinchilla, but if I can learn how to bond them, I can get a second one. Any tips?
Thank you so much my chinchillas bun bun miracle and twilight has not had any thankfully but good to no
I have a question can you brush your chinchilla I love your vids sooooooo much
Me and my mom is planning on getting a chinchilla but i have some questions 1 When you got your chinchillas, did they bite you much? 2 Do they make much sound when night? 3 Does chinchillas like to be hold or lifted? 4 Are they scared much? 5 Would a chihuahua bite a chinchilla? Thank you so much if you reply!!

- S u n x h a l o - all I know is that 1. Chinchillas don't really bite they usually intensely sniff 2. No not really, maybe when traveling around a cage-they can bark as well though 3. They think it's fine but don't do it for long 4. I guess lol some are open to a new owner and some aren't 5. Yes!!nfjdjdjd chinchillas can actually get very scared from other house pets so it would be better if you kept them distanced :) hOpE iT hElPeD

1.Yes when I got my chinchilla Romeo he would bite me a lot ( He stop biting when he got used to me).2. Sometimes but not that much. 3. Some do and some don't so just remember that all chinchillas are different and that when I got first Romeo any time I tried to pet him he would bark at me but he warmed up. 4. Yes just randomly at play time my chinchilla would just dart across my room 😅. 5. Yes keep all your other pets away from your chinchilla because cats and dogs are predators and chinchillas are prey animals so even if they don't look scared or stressed out they probably are.Your welcome ☺️

I love you so much! You are so helpful. I need peoples advice on something I'm going to be getting a chinchilla in a but I just have to do the cat litter consistently (EW) Should I name him Elvis or Pikachu? Elvis for the hair floof on the head, and I just like Elvis and Pikachu because they look like a modernized Pikachu lol! I'm planning on having plenty of chinchillas in my life so the unused name will go to a future chin! I love your videos thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

I’ve never had one but since they take dustbaths they may do it in the litter box and that’s not good. Maybe some pellet litter but try to keep him from chewing on it since the wooden pellet litters will soak up the pee. But I like Elvis as a name better but pikachu is cute too. I hope you have fun with him!

I would say no because rabbits Cary a disease called pasteurella and it is a thing that all rabbits have. It is a respiratory disease and it can kill chinchillas, so thay can transfer it very easy
oh my god i had a moment of weakness yesterday at my local pet store. Someone had brought in there chinchilla cuz they couldn't take care of it anymore and I saw it and immediately asked an employee for help! They were telling me about it and then told me that it was a he and I unfortunately had to back out. I have a female and I didn't want them breeding nor did I want to buy a whole other cage. If it was a girl I totally would've brought it home!

A breeder is more expensive but the chins are more socialized then a pet store and the pet stores are cheaper and I think some will give a free veterinary check to see them off as healthy but it doesn’t matter where you get one to me as long as they are happy and healthy.

Here I know someone who builds little marble boxes for chinchillas. Maybe you can find someone in your area. You can use ice packs and wrap them in some cloth. Also you can put some pieces of tile around the cage and your chinchilla can sit on them to cool down.
I have a question! Are essential oils safe to use around chinchillas?:)

No! EOs can give them respiratory infections. From what I've heard it's not advised to use EO's around pets in general, ESPECIALLY ones as sensitive as chinchillas. There is a chance of it being poisonous to them. I wouldn't risk it AT ALL if I were you.

I read somewhere that this happens more often in the breeding period, but if your chinchilla doesn't breed it doesn't mean that he has 0% chance of developing a hair ring.

@@raelynnviana8092 most boys actually usually have them. That's why its important to check once a month, whether it's just a lil fur or not it needs off. They arent perfect and wont get it all. In my chinchilla group its recommended to check once or twice a month almost irresponsible not to. I've made videos of me doing it so others can learn, the only rule is never hold on to the penis. If they move, get them, but let go of it. Have bag balm or vaseline ready. No vet needed unless there is inflammation or they stop peeing. I mean who wants to pay another person 60 dollars for something so simple that most exoctic vets suck at doing. Trust me, they get trained but that doesnt mean they always know what to do.
