I think it may be a learned behavior because I would give her attention when she would do it. 😂

She is doing good. However, she has decided that even though I give her many toys and pumice stone to chew, she wants to chew on the metal house I have in her cage.

Oh definitely. She is adorable and knows it too.

Thank you! She seems to be. She is probably a little spoiled though. I can walk by her cage and she will come down from her tube and expect scratches and treats. Thank you! 😊

Sage is a female standard grey chinchilla. She is about three years old. One thing she has learned which is very funny is that when I walk over the cage and start reaching for the treats, she will place her paws on the cage and stare at me.

Hi there! I have not been on in a while. My parents are taking a break and my mom is moving out. I am not quite old enough to move out yet. I will be with both parents an equal amount of time. I have two options for my chinchilla. I could have her stay at my moms. My mom would take care of her...

Don’t blame yourself. Chins are so good at hiding diseases. You did all that you could for her and that’s what matters.

That is odd though. My chinchilla would hide in her tube while I cleaned when I first got her. You could put in playpen in front of the cage to keep her contained. If you have a double critter/ferret nation, you could also block her off in one section while you clean.

Update: she is going to the vet tommorow. I called and they think it is a respiratory infection. Is there anything I can do until then? It is the evening and she is going tommorow morning. Another Update: I didn’t want to create another post but a little over and hour from the last update. She...

I come in the room. There is a click and then what sounds like a snore. She continues to do this. I have a video but I don’t know how to post it. She also moves her neck really weird which I am most concerned about. I have a video but don’t know how to post it. How do I post it? I am very concerned.

It is coconut rope. So it isn’t safe?

Ok I will do that.

I got this from Zoey and Lilo’s toy box but it has something that looks like string on it. Is it ok to use?

Kleenmama doesn’t own it anymore. It was taken over with new ownership a while back. I purchased some two or three months ago but it was third cut. I think I may have gotten the crop from last year but it was good quality. My chinchilla and guinea pigs liked it.

That will not keep her cool enough. If you have a car, can the chinchilla go in when it reaches 75 degrees and above? They can over heat at 75 and above so I would probably move her before that. However, if your chinchilla gets to 100/110 degrees they will most likely die.
