i would like to hear from people who own cats/kittens and chinchillas together and their experiences- did you already have a cat/kitten then got chins or other way round, did they accept each other or do you always keep them seperated, did you teach them to leave each other alone etc. i...

just an update for anyone that may read this but i think iv finally done it! for ages it seemed like they would never get along, i had them out for mutual play time and all he did was follow them around everywhere and they would get fed up and nab a fur clump from him so i really thought they...

ok thanks, i actually had a go yesterday was really nervous about it but had my partner and me close off a small area in the hallway, put out a dust bath and then let them out together, at first kink (the more dominant female) came straight out to the dust bath, took no notice if chinny he...

keeloyee : all i can say is post a thread on here asking as im not very experienced with chins, only had mine for 6-7 months now most of my info has come from here or lots of googling so i wouldnt want to give out any wrong advice :)

thanks, i know theres quite a few Q's on this but i couldnt find specifically 2 fems and a male as a combo and wondered what works best in peeps opinion thanks tho will keep researching till i settle on one i feel could work. :)

i have 3 chinchillas all together 1 lone male(neutered) 2years old ish and 2 females (sisters) 8 months old. I have researched a lot but i just wanted to ask here as i feel safer with the info you give as you all own chinnies :) i am wondering if this combination can work together and if so what...

ok thanks! its not sticky thank god but it just wont shift like its dried on there!

Once I was playing a game with really calm relaxing music on and my chin was standing on his shelf just falling asleep to it, soon as it stopped he woke up and ran off! All my chins will gather into the corners nearest to the tv when its on and watch. :)

I only have the one boy, I have 2 girls but in a separate cage away from him anyway. I have a soft bristle brush that I had for my guinea pigs will that work? The dirt bits are on the tips of his fur as well but right between the ears in the middle of his head!

My chin has something on his fur just on top of his head like someone stroked him with something sticky on there hands and got it on him and I can't seem to get it off, he has plenty of dust baths but its still there is there any other way of cleaning him? Help appreciated :)

oh by the way i am in the room whith him i dont leave him unsupervised! i have no door on my hallway to frontroom so its like a big connected room,

Sandi- can he be that desperate for the females lol! Also don't think its a bark cuz iv heard him bark at night and day before, also I was just sitting quietly not much noise going on and he just ran from the hallway legged it into the front room squeeling like mad, I'm thinking it might be...

my male chin randomly cries for no reason occasionally some nights, i wake up and hear him sound like hes crying in distress, when i rush out he just looks at me as if it wasent even him, and there dosent appear to be anything wrong atall, anyone know why he might do this? it really does sound...
