I have 2 girls even though one is called albus/gandalf , its kind of interchangeable, she responds better to Albus but I like calling her Gandalf because she's a standard grey (gandalf the grey) plus they're both magic and I like harry potter and LOTR. The other is called Tina because of...

I've read that it's important to provide your chin with toys that are chewable and toys that keep your chinchillas mind active. However when thinking about it, I have no idea what keeps a chinchillas mind active. The only thing I can think of is treat dispensers, where they have to press a...

I've finally chinchilla proofed my room, before I had to let them both play in a playpen (which had to be reinforced many times, they're such escape artists) and I couldn't sit in there with them, I haven't had much chance to interact with them, they've jumped on my hand and stuff before, only...

Sounds boring but my chins love balls of paper, they run around with them in their mouth, chew them and throw them its really entertaining haha

usually i can sleep though absolutely anything but my first 5 nights or so with my chins i had to put cotton wool in my ears, they drove me insane, now i dont even notice them on their wheel, but when other people come over theyre in awe at the fact i can sleep with them in the room, what sort...

thank you, theyre more comfortable around me now, they climb onto me but still get jumpy when i try to secure them so i have to stay really still or tickle their chin, tina still doesnt like being held, she will only jump on my hands to get out of the cage haha

but if one of them is scared around me, how would i pick her up without chasing her round? i dont want to chase her around the cage because i know id feel awful so i'd stop and she'd end up just being scared of me

sorry for the confusion, i call one of them albus so it feels weird to keep calling her a she, theyre both girls im sure of it aha

I've had them both 4 days, one of them (tina) is extremely shy, she sometimes comes to sniff my hand inside the cage but sometimes she hides whenever I put it in. I started with feeding them treats through the cage bars after talking to them. Albus is great, he started coming to take treats out...

Well the woman I got them off was sure they were both boys but it turns out they're both girls, so judging by that their bits must look pretty similar aha

How do I bond with them both? Albus (im aware albus is a boys name and its a girl chinchilla but i like it okay) is really curious, I've only had them 3 days but theyve both took food from me behind the cage bars, Tina, the shy skittish one, took a bit more time than albus but she still hides...
