Okay, that makes sense. I just wanted to make sure that she wasn’t depressed (if that’s possible?) or anything. I put out a little wooden thing - it’s logs bound together that can be bent and their dust bath normally. But I will try adding more toys out next time for them.

Hi, So I have two chinchillas, both female. Lola - more stand off with people (doesn't care to be pet and is more jumpy) and Zoey - likes to have chin scratched and isn't very jumpy around people I am a bit worried/confused about Zoey.... Lola loves to run around the classroom (I have a...

So I am on week 3 of having my two chins. They are 2 weeks old and I had gotten them from a lady off of kijiji. So I’ve been letting them venture out this week into the classroom once the students have left. I started with opening the bottom door to see if they were interested. Them seemed to...

I just looked at your cage! Those are actually the pictures I had gave to the woodshop teacher to model off of for my cage. Like I said before, the previous owner did not know what she was doing and had them on a barred bottom. I am waiting for him to build the ledges still but they should be...

So I just got two chinchillas two weeks ago from a girl on kijiji. She was giving them bananas and raisins as treats, however I have been learning that she really did not know much about chinchillas... So I am wondering if giving them 2 banana chips a week, and 2 raisins is too much? Or if these...

Thanks! I’ll order one of those bowls! They had a hanging toy but they broke that in one day, and then I got them some carrot chew toys, a lava triangle and the some other sticks. Today I bought a metal hanging toy so I can just refil the chews on it and one of those puzzle balls.

So I just got my two chins two weeks ago as a class pet for my grade 5 class. Things have been going pretty well! I had a wooden hay feeder for them but they’ve already chewed the entire front off of it! All the feeders at the pet stores around here (Manitoba, Canada) have either wooden ones or...
