It's okay. I appreciate the help! I can say though, I have been keeping my distances from him. Only pet him quicky through the bars on his head before he moves & been putting him in his carrier when I clean his cage. Recently I would be able to open the cage door and put my whole hand in...

So I tried the whole one level for my chin & it didn't seem to help. :( I just reopened the top half yesterday to give it back to him to roam around which he seemed happy to run about on top.

unfortunately we do not have the old cage anymore. I might have to try just locking the top floor & seeing if the lower is good enough for him. It's just so odd since he's had this cage for almost two month before he started to get aggressive with us.

Unfortunately still no changes. I haven't been bit from him in a while, but that's only because I dont put my hand in the cage period. I open his carrier and when I open the cage door he just hops right in and I lock the carrier until I'm done changing his food/water or cleaning. If I see him...

I'm sorry you are going through this. I myself & dealing with my chinchilla being super aggressive all of a sudden now for almost a month now. He's out for blood when he bites as well. I can barely handle him without him charging at me to attack. It's only one I have & I've had him for almost...

I wanted to give him a dust bath & so I set up the bathroom for us to go in. I'm layered up again, sweatpants over my shorts, sweater on with that jacket before & he crawled into my arms perfectly fine when I opened the cage and brought him into the bathroom. He saw his dust bowl & goes for it...

Update; Stickshift is still aggressive towards us. Most days I can open the cage and pet him fine but once I close the cage door, he will bite at the bars. This morning I open the cage to move a box he plays in since it was blocking the hole to the floors down below in his cage and he comes...

I've had my chinchilla (Stickshift) for well over 9 years about almost 10 now. I've had him since he was 1 & half years old. He's always been friendly with me & even given me kisses. I'm the only one in my household that handles him/feeds him & cleans his cage. 2 months ago, he got his first...

Update: So I heard back from the Vet E.R (Sage in Concord CA) They did confirm the ear infection & that he was on the right medication to treat it. She didn't know the range as they don't get that many chinchillas but her guess from rabbits is a couple weeks/to a month. In the mean time...

Hello! It's been forever & a day since I've posted in here. My little stickshift last week (Friday/Saturday the 17th/18th of March) I had to rush him to the E.R at 3am due to him laying on his side, with a headtilt barely able to walk (walked as if he was drunk).He's always has been very...

Stickshift was sleeping in his cage. Adrian my nephew found this cat teaser toy that Stickshift likes to play with & picked it up to use to poke stickshift & got him in the eye. Stickshift rushed to the cage & Adrian only being a toddler tries to pet him but got bit instead. Aww, I'm sorry to...

I figured it was because of him. (I don't blame Stickshift for biting my nephew sad to say.) But that was at least 4 years ago since that happened. Though Stickshift til this day knows who he is & will always attack the cage whenever he see him. He's been okay with the members that's in the...

Not at all. Same routine as always.

It's the youtube channel with ChinTubeHD

So I've had my little Stickshift for 6 years now. He's 7 years old. Starting last year I noticed his behavior towards others has become more aggressive. He will bark at them whenever people past the cage or when I hold him so they could pet him. Even try to bite them if they sit with me in the...

Thank you all again. I know I was right about them not having fruits or veggies but my mother just thought they could since she saw some youtuber with their chins eating fruits.

That's what I was telling my mom. I just wanna be sure before she started giving him some since she loves to spoil him with chew toys n such.

Thank you for letting me know, I will have to check another pet store near by for another brand.

I was just curious what fruits can chins have? my mother seen a few videos on youtube of some chins eating fruits that I didn't think they could eat & I don't want to have her give my little stickshift some just because she saw someone else give their chin it & it might be bad for them. I was...

All matts are out! Took a while but he is a happy chin again! His fur looks a lot better (minus the uneven areas the matts were. but that will grow back in soon enough)
