    Wow awesome, thank you! This has put my mind at ease for sure. I plan on having my sister in the car with me too that way one can focus on driving and the other the pets if/when needed.

    Moving (out of state) with chinchillas

    Thank you!! I was curious about the water bottle, but I know we will make at least 2 stops so I can secure the water on while stopped if they’re thirsty then remove it once we start driving again.

    How can I,a new owner, create a bond and handle hygienic problem of chinchillas?

    These chins look AWFUL. I would highly reccomend buying a good comb and that is probably the only way to get all those mats out.

    does this bother anyone else? My heart is broken.

    I was browsing Instagram today when I found a post dedicated to a chinny who sadly just passed away. Was curious to see if the account had posted why, and to my luck they had. A DRESSER DRAWER FELL ON IT DURING PLAYTIME AND PARALYZED IT. this is not ok. Chinchillas are such curious and smart...

    Hi everyone! Let me start off by saying that if this has already been answered let me know and I can delete it, or if this is in the wrong forum I can move it too! Ohkay, down to business: I know that bonding with a chin takes time and effort. I've had my two males for almost 3 years and...

    Blanket bonding??

    Hi everyone, I recently saw a post on Instagram where someone said they were using "Blanket bonding" to get comfortable with their chin. I personally have never heard of it before and didn't find much info online. I'm just curious if anyone has an opinion or any kind of info about it? (It it...

    Shy (new) chin

    Hi everyone, 3 days ago I adopted my first female chin. She turned 3 months old this past week. Anyhow, she's displaying different behavior than when I adopted my 2 males. I read that keeping them in the cage for the first week or so is suggested to let them get used to their new surroundings...
