He seems completely healthy, is active, eats, drinks, poops, plays, socializes completely fine. So he doesn't seem to be in pain or anything.

So I got a new Chinchilla in June, he is about 10 months old now. I've noticed he"ll sit there for hours and just grind his teeth together. He has tons of different chew toys, (like thirty) available to him at all times, and I've never had this problem with my other Chin. Anyone know anything...

I have read several times before that it is impossible to potty train a chinchilla. Is this generally true? Cause I put a little plastic box with news paper in it, in his cage, and from that day on, he will not pee anywhere else. If he is out of his cage for an extended time, he will only go if...

And oh my gosh guys, I get it, I know the risks, I was asking advice on chins living together, no one can ask anything on this sight without getting attacked for random things. It's sad.

It was a baby rabbit. like a fourth the size of Westly

What are you even talking about? You're making things up. When was it ever said that I don't use chin proof rooms, and monitor him, and keep them from wires and stuff? I DO. Don't preach to me about assumptions.

After you take it out of the freezer, DO NOT open the bag for at least 24 more hours. Or else it will mold due to the condensation getting it wet. I also had to end up doing this with my rat food, and I stopped having a problem.

Try to find different housing for your chin's for like two days. Your local super market should sell bug bombs. Let it off in your room with the cages in there. It only takes a few hours. Then throw away and replace all there food and bedding and such, air out the room by opening windows and...

Thanks for the advice regarding them most likely not getting along, and quarantine and what not. I’ll be sticking with my one buddy for now. However regarding the other animals, relax, I know what I’m doing and I know the risks. They are never around each other in a way that is any where near...

So I got my first chin, Westly, a year ago, and I love him to death, and am really glad I got him. I would really like to get a second, but do not have room for another cage, as the one he is in now is huge and takes up a ton of space. So I would need to house them together. So my question is...

What causes them to bark or make other noises, What noises are good, and which are bad?

Sorry this has nothing to do with your questions, but I think thats like the cuestes chinchilla i've ever seen, you're quite lucky! :)
