    Chinchilla and his fleece girlfriend c;

    I made a cuddle-husband for my Daisy, and she used to push her house off the ledge to crush him, she'd carry him around by his tail, and pee on him. I think it was an abusive relationship haha! Though one time she brought him to the food dish. Your chinchilla is cute with his buddy =)

    Chinchilla feet?

    Just want to add, when you use bag balm, put it on the feet (not too thick) but hold the chinchilla for a few minutes and then wipe the bag balm off or they will have shoes made of poop after a few steps! lol And I'm pretty sure you should only put it on the back feet..I don't think they'd...

    Caring for 2 week old baby

    I have a little girl who was a bit too small (she's still pretty small overall) but I was told to give her alfalfa hay as a supplement, plus she loves it. (And her larger big sister loves it too haha!) I hope that could help him grow a bit!

    Super scratches!

    Does anyone else's chinchilla allow crazy scratching like my Daisy? She used to be really unfriendly, like any chinchilla when you first get them. She got a tummyache a while back, and I got her medicine which I gave her every 4 hours and I would rub her tummy for ten minutes after the meds...

    boy meets girl... finally

    It's so sweet that they're so friendly to eachother through the bars. I have a duo and a single, and whenever they get together even for a second they try their darndest to kill eachother. =/

    Fight or fur chewing?

    She wouldn't be able to reach there, but if she's housed with other chinchillas maybe one of them is a chewer who chews on her. Poor thing.

    Long but cute story

    This is a story I found on the internet, its someone's story of getting their chinchilla, from "Chippy's" perspective. Very cute, there are a few things that are disagreeable, but it's a cute read overall. Enjoy! My name is Chippy, but everyone calls me "chip-chip-chip", I am 10 months old and...

    Cage improvements today!

    Lol they're excited! They've mastered the wheel, they've started doing a strange thing where one runs on the wheel while the other puts her teeth on it, like they're filing their teeth. Odd little things :)

    Cage improvements today!

    We finally went and got the Ferret Nation decked out with metal pans, after Lucy started chewing on not only her own floor, but the ceiling (Daisy's floor above). We decided to take the cash hit and get the babies a wheel at the same time, and I have to say, the cage looks lovely! Daisy...

    Agoraphobic?

    Poor dear, I don't know why she was acting strange outside her cage, but she sounds stressed. Try to do a few things to make her day to day life easier and she'll be hopping out of her cage to play with you. 1. Give her routine, playtime should be at the same time every day, feeding time too...

    Whisker Trimming

    So the other day I read about whisker trimming as a way to equal out dominance between chinchillas and that if the whiskers between chinchillas are the same length dominant chinchillas will be more willing to be friendly with one another. I also read that the whiskers will grow back in a...

    why won't she hide in her house? O.o

    My Daisy used to spend all her time in ger house, but one day decided she didn't want to be in there. It's nothing to worry about. She'll find a place she likes to sleep, my Daisy sleeps in her fleece tube all day long now Daisy makes that sound once in a while too, but I couldn't tell you what...

    Letting a new chin out of his/her cage.

    I've had the top chinchilla, Daisy, for over a year. We got the other two together a few months ago, they're sisters. :) Daisy will come on command, but she knows if its a trap or a scratch haha

    Letting a new chin out of his/her cage.

    I have a ferret nation which I have two on the bottom one on top. The two on the bottom aren't bonded with us so there's a hidey house "step" to help them get in on their own. Our top chinchilla is bonded with us, so we can just pick her up or call her over. When we need to "catch" them, a...

    Hello everyone

    Welcome! Chinchillas are loving and wonderful to have around. I feel I should mention that chinchillas require a cool temperature at all times, and I assume Mexico is pretty warm. You'll have to be ready to do whatever it takes to keep their area cool or it could be fatal!! Air conditioning...

    Luigi the cuddle buddy

    Watching my bonded sisters I thought my single chinchilla Daisy looked a little lonely, so I sewed her a little boyfriend :) meet Luigi! When I left this morning he was in the corner of the cage, she moved him to her favorite spot in her hidey house, I think that's love :)
