I've had Pip for a little over 5 months now and he's such a sweet little guy. I just felt that it was time to get him a friend, so we adopted another little guy yesterday who has been named Kylo. It would appear Kylo is younger than Pip, he's definitely smaller. Now, I've read and researched A...

Hi, hello! New to this forum site. :> Not entirely new owning a chinchilla, just never seen this behavior from them before. I only have the one, his name is Pippin. We call him Pip! I got him from a pet store, I know, shame on me! But they said that he had been in there for about 2 months and...
